Kimball Taylor’s Return by Water: Surf Stories and Adventures is receiving stellar reviews from nearly every major surf publication and has struck a cord with international travelers.
“The essence of the surfing experience is not rooted in the simple act of riding waves, but in the pursuit of them, and everything that comes with those journeys. Taylor understands this better than anyone.”
—Chris Mauro
Editor of Surfer magazine
“Kimball’s fiction is a delightful mixture of mysticism, inspiration and cold, harsh reality. Just like surfing itself.”
—Evan Slater
Editor in chief for Surfing magazine
“Having sprung fully formed as a bright, spade-calling contributor to Surfer magazine in the ’90s, Kimball Taylor has since built a reputation as a trusted voice to those who matter most—his fellow surfers.”
—Scott Hulet
Editor of The Surfer’s Journal
“This is a seriously cool book of surf stories by one of the world’s best surf writers.”
–South Africa’s Zigzag magazine
“Kimball Taylor has stepped out entirely with the recent publication of Return by Water, a series of surf stories that at their essence tell us more about why we live as surfers than how we do it.”
–Brad Melekian, Surfer magazine
“The writing is far more mature than Taylor’s few years. It is good. In fact, it is very good and filled with insight into a life lived by the ocean.”
–Chris Ahrens
