About
Kimball Taylor has been scolded by a leper; robbed in Peru; nearly duped by a Balinese transvestite; riddled by malarial mosquitoes in Ecuador; attacked by baboons in Africa; and mocked, browbeaten and harangued by great and not-so-great surfers around the world. A senior editor for Surfer magazine and an ESPN.com columnist, Taylor also contributes to various other publications. He holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a MFA in writing from San Diego State University. He is a co-author of histories on both Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu and Jeffreys Bay in South Africa. Return by Water is his first collection of stories.
