BIO:
After competing in his astonishing 16th season on the ASP World Tour, Taylor Knox has more than proven that he has what it takes to compete alongside the Top 45, finishing 12th in the World in 2009. The 38-year old veteran's obsession with health and fitness proves to the rest of the globe that age has no boundaries as Knox combines his veteran knowledge and timeless style as an antidote to stand atop the globe's finest. The Carlsbad, California powerhouse's patented rail-to-rail surfing is the envy amongst many of his peers and if 2009 was any indication, Knox will continue to be a threat on the ASP World Tour in 2010.

Knox has continued to defy the odds throughout his life. The regular-footer suffered what seemed to be a career-ending back injury at the young age of 15 and despite the devastating news from doctors that a professional career in surfing would only be a dream, the Californian has trained his way to one of the most lengthy careers in professional surfing history.
