Nick Taylor, an Anna Maria Island, FL native is known for being well versed in all disciplines of wakeskating. Taylor has received a lot of attention for helping to progress the sport, being voted Wakeskater of the Year by Alliance Wake magazine in 2007 and awarded Move of the Year for his frontside big flip by Wakeboarding magazine in the same year.
Adding to those honors was a first place finish at the 1st stop of the 2008 Bylerly Toe Jam. Taylor wowed the crowd by pulling off a solid run of kickflips, bigspins, boardslide bigspins, and back lips. In addition to a slew of honors, his own pro model with Integrity Wakeskates, and a good showing in contests, Taylor has segments in a number of videos including “Esoteric,” and Volume Wakeskate Videos: Issue #6. A motivated boardrider, he says “Sometimes you’ve got to be out there at 7 in the morning to get the good water,” he said. “If you’re too lazy to do what you love, then you’re too lazy for this life.”
