Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Maybe the Fountain of Youth that Juan Ponce de León sailed the world in search of in the early 1500s was actually right under the bow of his boat. Look at Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Shane Dorian, and Taylor Knox — all approaching 50, but you’d never guess it. Is it possible the ocean is actually the sought-after “water of life”?

Taylor just celebrated his 46th birthday, but his surfing isn’t even close to slowing down. While many of his former ‘CT peers have long since moved on from professional surfing to coach, work in broadcasting, or work in the industry, Taylor (along with Kelly, Rob, and Shane) are the last men of the Momentum generation still paid to surf. And, amazingly, they’ve hardly lost a step. Just watch Taylor’s latest edit, filmed and edited by Sam Moody. It’s shot entirely in North County, San Diego and at Lowers, and puts Taylor’s smooth lines on lovely display. A three-minute edit, and not one air! It’s been 10 years since Taylor’s biopic, Arc, but you can’t help but think his surfing today still belongs in that film.

Taylor Knox, forever young.

This 3 piece adjustable SUP paddle delivers a strong aluminium shaft, a durable nylon composite blade, and a super comfortable handle. It is strong but also light (2.1 pounds!) which is often an issue with three piece paddles, and comes in a cleverly designed paddle bag to protect it, which also helps it to pack down to a seriously compact size in seconds making travelling incredibly easy. The height range is simply huge – 66 inches to 83 inches (1.665 – 2.1m) – so it suits a very broad range of paddlers (4 foot 6 and up) – so as well as being light and strong it can adjust more than most other paddles. The light weight really reduces paddler fatigue and makes it easy for virtually anyone to use – important when being used by children or lighter adults – when paddle weight really matters. It takes just seconds to assemble – or break down and pack away, and of course is super easy to adjust the height. It is super durable and built to deliver years of fun and is guaranteed to ALWAYS float, and has a ‘Bullet Proof’ complete replacement guarantee for a FULL 12 months. It is protected by its super handy carry bag – which has 3 compartments to stop any parts rubbing during travel, and a heat reflective inner lining to prevent the paddle from heating up. A new member of the extremely popular ‘BPS’ range of paddles this 3 piece paddle shows great pedigree, having been designed and tested in New Zealand. It is a great general use paddle that is very durable (approved by Bullet Proof’s 240 pound tester), and suitable for virtually anyone due to its lightweight.
