The Body Follows the Mind with Taylor Knox 

This is the new generation of sponsorship, older folks with wisdom and experience maximising life well beyond the previously considered scrap heap. Meditation, mind and body symmetry is critical and TK has been developing this for decades. So great to see and a wonderful path for us all to ponder.

"Who you are vs. what you do." Powerful idea. So easy to get caught up in what we do that we forget whats most important. Respect for Taylor Knox and those who produced this film 🤞

"How you feel is, how you are going to heal" is so inspiring !! Great video, thank you

Thanks to all involved for making this and getting it on RU-vid so that I could find it at 2 AM. Much needed and perfect timing. 🙏

"... It's gone from getting through things with stubbornness and will, to getting through things with patience and focus..." - Taylor Knox. Thank you (and all the production behind) for such a inspiring video!!!

Anyone know the song that starts playing at 5:10?

Wow, I just want to express my admiration and respect to the creator of this short film I would call it. YOU, whoever created this did an amazing job. Absolutely beautiful visual, auditory and contextual work. I even forgot that this is such a small channel yet, so I can be sure you will grow much bigger if you give it time and effort like you are doing now. Also big respect to Taylor Knox for his wise words and insight on his life. All in all this production was a great piece of work. Thank you!

Thank you Vuori for making this video, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever watched and a very smart choice in supporting someone like Taylor Knox. I met Taylor years back and in only a 30 minutes conversation with him, he made me look at life differently and this video has inspired me to be a better person. So much gets put online of the latest surf clips and the next day, it’s forgotten, but this video will make an impact on the way people look at life. Well done and an amazing job 👏

I started surfing at 60 and 2 years later just when I thought I was ready to move into the intermediated level I ripped my pec major tendon off the bone. Rehabbing from surgery as I watch this inspiring video. Mahalo.

I completely agree with and fully embody this philosophy. Who we are is far more important to the world than what we do. I'm glad to see a soul brother out there a few steps ahead of me, clearing and blazing the trail. Thank you Taylor! ✨🌄

I HAVE A DIAGNOSED MOOD DISORDER. I TAKE A LOOK AT MYSELF DAILY ALSO. I ALSI REALIZED ALL THE CHANGE I WANNA SEE AND BE COMES FROM , AND STARTS FROM WITHIN! LIFE'S AN AMAZING CANVAS TO PAINT ON

Style & power. One of my favorite surfers of all times! And a wise guy too.

Happy to see this guy still ripping! Really inspiring.

I have the EXACT same story (except I never made the tour). Spondylolysthesis, insane sciatica pain, operated at age 19, same scaffolding in my spine, told I would never ever surf, even by my local chiropractor who was the contets director of the boardriders club! I accepted it, made peace with it. But then luckily one of the surgeons said "maybe we can get you back in the water in 6-8 months. Maybe". 20 years later, just booked my first Mentawai boat trip, before I get too old and my spine crumbles!!

Old guys that rip😎 I'm 100% on the train to move to surf. Everyday! Best surfing of my life through my fifties. Stoked!!!

There is no separation between a good surfer and a better person...they are one. The extraneous thoughts and actions that we bring into the surf have nothing to do with that connection. Taylor has worked hard and managed to integrate the two. His love and drive for the experience of surfing, that connection, has motivated his drive to complete his internal growth. A true champion of his "self". I remember when Taylor caught his winning wave at Todos. I was just breaking in to the deeper and more meaningful realms of surfing. I was inspired for sure. But it also started me on my quest to explore Baja....a trip that has no end. Thanks Taylor. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for demonstrating by example true methods for mind and body and soul upgrades. Thank you!

Great video. Good points about “Hard Work”. A few elders on my journey reinforced “smarter not harder”. This can’t be said enough times, especially to current youth that are being led to believe the hardest work will somehow manifest what they are looking for…pro tip, it won’t. 🤙🏽😎🏄🏽‍♂️🖤. Also, yoga 🧘‍♂️

Great Video and much Food for Thought !!! Fine solid surfing at Black's Beach, especially the good water shot at 15:27. It is not quite the Magic spot it once was before the Crowds. First started getting Great Waves there in 1964 when it was rare to see anyone around until Surfer magazine wrote it up in July of '65 right after the Mushroom house was finished.

Thanks Taylor, I’ve just turned 56 and it’s ,been hell watching my surfing and mobility ebb. I work hard but there’s this undertow to give up and just be old… seeing this was inspiring -thank

Thanks Taylor, good on you! You’ve helped cement that drive to ride the wave of life and kick out content!🕉️

I’ve had a similar experience. I was pretty sick for a decade. Specialists couldn’t help. It took four relapses and more and more fine tuning, but eventually, with regard to the spirit of our thoughts and my physical strength and agility improving, it turned out to be all related to diet. I was forced to eliminate everything but meat and animal fat essentially to heal. And boy did I. I hadn’t the slightest clue that prior, my spiritual void and negative thoughts were the product of plant toxins. As I purged them, my thoughts healed and so did my body. I’ve been very clear headed and even keeled for years now, and I feel more upright and physically strong than I ever have in my entire life. I don’t wish what I used to feel, mentally, nor physically, upon anyone. I don’t know how else to explain it. But something as simple as not eating anything but meat and fat changed my life. The divine focus I could never sorta achieve before is easy now. My mind doesn’t wander to distract me negatively anymore. I wish I would’ve figured this out years ago, but everything Taylor describes has also come to be my understanding now too, and I’m pretty sure it’s why our ancestors drew Bison and Buffalo on cave ceilings. Diet evolved us and then, sadly, devolved us, and that’s too clear to me now. Say what you will, but you can’t un-believe it or un-feel it once it clicks. The trinity is real. That I know. The more pure the more clear it becomes, and I think we knew that for a long, long, time. Wishing you all the best. 🤙✌️

Damn having gone though 5 back surgeries myself this vid really resonated with me. I found this very helpful.

Awesome work. Yoga has been a game changer for me.

the moment in which Taylor and Kelly are together was super insane, thanx you all, thanx for this video, thanx for idea, greeting from Ukraine. love u all.

Great vid, I really enjoyed listening to Taylor's life experience and wisdom.

Loved it. Inspiring. God bless. God made us ALL!

Wow. Really well done/thought and action provoking.

What an amazing surf he still having! Great approach to life. As the master Gerry Lopez says “Keep paddiling”

That was so inspirational ! I’ve always loved the way you handle yourself in and out of the water. For me At 65 and still surfing and working hard to stay fit is a challenge. Keep doing what your doing TK you’re such an inspiration to us all especially the older crew !

Absolute 💎! I hope to some day meet this guy.

The man!so glad to have stumbled across this.excatly how ive been feeling

Quality video, well directed and the message delivered. Inspiring and valuable for the future generation youth! Taylor's character shines bright and he shows he is a real one. Conscious and integral

I HAVE EMBARKED ON THE WIM HOF JOURNEY IN MY 50'S! IM DOIN' GREAT! AND SO ARE YOU!

Taylor looks old A.F. ! Damn I'm getting old at nearly 56 and a broken back and a broken neck. I know exactly what you mean T. Knox. You're from Thousand Oaks and grew up in Oxnard and Carlsbad High. We probably saw each other out in the water in the 80s. 🌊 God bless you for your mission of mindfulness. How you feel, is how you are going to heal. Work hard brother. Put in the time. See yourself succeed and you will. You are on a powerful mission of self discovery my brother from the Sea.

Please make more videos like this 🙌

Thank you

… I have always and will always love Taylor Knox…BUT, i think it all comes in from the HEART AND YOUR GUT, WHICH CONTOLS YOUR MIND, AND THEN THE MIND CONTROLS THE BODY…AMEN…

Very inspiring.

Everything you do in this world no matter how strong you build it will eventually turn to dust an echos

Great Taylor 👏

I dream of being able to surf good waves every day

Never let Cheyene Horan give you a haircut

I want to improve but sometimes it's hard to know where to start.

Sincerely glad to see he's still out there, lol but those CROWDS [EVERYWHERE...] lmAO What i'm about to say is not a slam but just an observation/opinion. Taylor is a great surfer, but there are basically two types of surfers maybe more and that is there are 'The Jocks' and there are 'The Artists' types of people who ride waves. One is from the "competition" school (of points) and the other is an artistic expression not conforming into drawing the same lines after lines after lines after predictable lines. The Jocks are amazing with their gymnastic spinning in the air stuff not doubt about that, and yep its extremely difficult. But judging surfing is like judging music or artist who paint and judging those things lol with points. You can do it but, its pretty childish. Taylor has been doing the same lines since i've first saw him, they are good lines but like a musician who just practices the same exact thing over and over to a metronome for hours, days, decades -- yep! You do get faster but it's *not* from the heart and it's not from the soul, it's just a robotic sport or whatever. Again I say this respectfully because it's sad to put surfing in a contrived box. Peace

Song at 05:40 please? 🙏

Soo sick

so basically buddhism

De todos modos ya lo sabia😢

What song at 5:36?

Ripping

Sorry, how many world titles did he win again? 😅
