Throughout 2012 Taylor had the best competitive season of his career winning the World Title in addition to Australasian and North American ASP Titles, a feat never before done in the history of longboarding.

Taylor was born in Lake Tahoe, CA in March of 1984 but moved to the beaches of Southern California before he could walk. His introduction to surfing came from his father Marty on the beaches of his hometown Coronado, CA at age 6. Although he excelled at numerous sports throughout his elementary and high school years, surfing was where he made his mark. Since turning pro at 17, he has won every major professional longboarding event around the world at least once. He has numerous national and international accolades including 2 ASP World Titles, 4 ASP North America titles and 3 Australasian regional titles.

Although famous for pushing the boundaries of what a longboard can do, Taylor is widely recognized as someone capable of riding anything he puts under his feet. With a passion for riding different crafts, from traditional single fin longboards to modern shortboards, and even alaias, Taylor is constantly in search of new and innovative ways to enjoy the ocean.
