10 Totally Random Questions with the Carve King, Taylor Knox

From a hyperactive kid to a sage teacher of surf fitness, yoga and meditation, Taylor Knox has lived a lot of lives. His tongue-in-cheek Captain America persona pushed him through a solid career on and off tour while the surf media lense never strayed far from his cowboy good looks.

Knox worked on and refined a carve technique that was far above and beyond what most surfers were doing mid-90s. He found a way of going through turns without dead stalling at the bottom of the wave – a super difficult task on the ultra-thin heavily-rockered equipment of the era.

Recently, and on more evolved equipment, Taylor took his trademarked carves to the Surf Ranch in Lemoore for Reef’s film “Apply Pressure.” (You can catch the full, salted edit here).

We highlighted his rail work in this short edit “Taylor’s Awesome Mix Tape #6” – a reference to the classic film “Boogie Nights.”

As a bonus, we caught up with the Momentum Generation surfer to play “10 Totally Random Questions”
