PINCH MY SALT: Recent Episodes
Pinch My Salt
Kelly Slater, surf etiquette, women in surfing, Blue Crush, Nathan Florence, Jamie O’Brien, Dane Reynolds, the US Open of Surfing, surf culture, surf controversy, and the future of professional surfing all collide in this episode of Pinch My Salt with Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan.
We break down the viral “paddle harder” surfing controversy and Kelly Slater’s response, debate whether surf lineups care more about gender or skill level, and talk surf etiquette, beginner surfers, kook levels, women’s surfing, and what actually earns respect in the water. Then Sterling goes deep on Blue Crush, Kate Bosworth, the movie’s surf stunt doubles, Hawaii, Sunset Beach, and why Blue Crush may have done more to push surfing into mainstream culture than pro surfers ever realized.

From there, we get into Nathan Florence, John John Florence, Jamie O’Brien, Dane Reynolds, Andy Irons, YouTube surfing, surf vlogs, surf media, old-school surf movies, Taylor Steele, Surf Madness, and how social media changed what it means to be a famous surfer. Plus: New Smyrna Beach sharks, surfing while pregnant, Tony Hawk, Herbie Fletcher, foiling, Huntington Beach, the US Open of Surfing, big-wave surfing, and the eternal question: how core is too core?
Sterling also tells the story of jumping from traditional surf media into the early internet era, his experience with Taylor Steele and Intersection, and why giving away a surf movie for free helped change the old surf-video model. We debate whether surfers like Nathan Florence and Jamie O’Brien have become more recognizable to the mainstream than traditional professional surfers — and whether YouTube, podcasts, vlogs, Instagram and social media are now more important than contests and surf magazines.
Also in this episode: relationship and marriage comedy, Sterling’s completely scientific method for “figuring women out,” controlled burns, surfing while pregnant, Brody Jenner, New Smyrna shark encounters, Mason Ho, Herbie Fletcher, kook levels, surf fashion, soft tops, the “core surfer” spectrum, selling out without losing your soul, and whether the US Open of Surfing at Huntington Beach is somehow harder to watch than foil boarding.
Pinch My Salt is a surfing and comedy podcast hosted by professional surfer Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan, covering surf culture, professional surfing, surf news, surf history, surf industry stories, WSL, surf personalities, internet culture, relationships, comedy and everything weird happening in and around surfing.
COMMENT BELOW: Is surfing about gender — or is it really just about skill and kook level?

Nathan Florence joins Pinch My Salt for a full big-wave surfing conversation covering Pipeline, the Vans Pipe Masters, Teahupo’o, Tahiti, Jaws, Puerto Escondido, Shipstern Bluff, Cloudbreak, Hawaii surf culture, North Shore localism, foiling, sailing, ocean crossings, the World Surf League, Kelly Slater, Kai Lenny, John John Florence, Ivan Florence and the rise of independent surf media on YouTube.

He opens up about fear, wipeouts, breaking his back at Jaws, a recent injury at Puerto Escondido, rehab, hydrofoil racing and crossing Hawaiian channels with Kai Lenny. Nathan also talks about growing up in Hawaii with John John and Ivan Florence, learning Pipeline as a kid, their mother pushing them to surf, the old North Shore hierarchy, surf localism, social media changing lineup culture, winning the Pipe Masters, building his YouTube channel, the future of professional surfing and why John John isn’t doing the Championship Tour right now. Plus: Kelly Slater mind games, sailing across the ocean, mysterious nights at sea, surfing in tights, hipster surfers, Mahina Florence, Kai “Kyborg” Garcia and Nathan’s childhood Surfer Magazine cover.
This is Nathan Florence beyond the highlight reels: honest stories about fear, injuries, family, brotherhood, career pressure, surf media, the WSL, adventure and what keeps one of surfing’s hardest chargers searching for the next wave.

The boys debate whether the traditional surf movie is dead, why Instagram and YouTube clips have taken over surfing, the most influential surf films ever made, Tom Curren’s Searching for Tom Curren, the Taylor Steele era, Bruce Irons’ mysterious kickflip Mandela effect, Dane Reynolds’ place in modern surf culture, and whether podcasts are now more core than surf vlogs.

Kelly Slater’s controversial Tahiti wild card, Outerknown’s connection to the WSL event, and the future of professional surfing lead this episode of the Pinch My Salt surf podcast. Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan debate whether Kelly Slater deserves the Tahiti Pro wild card, whether a sponsor should be able to put its own co-founder into a World Surf League contest, and whether the 11-time world champion can still win in heavy Tahiti barrels.
We also break down the biggest surf news, viral surfing clips, surf culture debates, and pro surfing controversies: Louis Vuitton and Pharrell bringing Mikey February, Raimana and twin-fin surfboards into high fashion; Jack Johnson getting caught riding a soft-top surfboard; Rob Machado’s effortless surfing technique and pop-up; Kai Lenny’s surf training; wave-pool airs versus real ocean surfing; surf etiquette, women getting waves, dangerous kooks, Blue Crush, Keala Kennelly, Alana Blanchard, women’s surf history, Paris Hilton surfing a wave pool, WSL judging, Griffin Colapinto, Ethan Ewing, Jack Robinson, Tom Curren, Skip Frye and the question every core surfer is asking—is surf culture dying?
This is surf comedy, surf commentary and honest surf-industry talk for fans of WSL surfing, classic surf videos, surf podcasts and core surf culture worldwide.
Did Kelly Slater earn the Tahiti wild card—or did Kelly and Outerknown find a way to give themselves a spot in the contest? Sterling and Ryan agree that surfing is better with Kelly in it, but question whether another young Tahitian or up-and-coming surfer should have received the opportunity.
The boys also discuss why professional surfing struggles to create stars, whether the WSL needs legendary surfers such as Kelly Slater, Tom Curren and Tom Carroll judging events, and why current surf contests feel disconnected from the culture that created them.

Morgan Maassen joins Pinch My Salt for one of the funniest and weirdest surf stories we’ve ever heard — including the night Jeremy Flores “choked out” Sterling Spencer… while Morgan stood there trying to get the photo.
In this episode, Morgan Maassen sits down with Sterling Spencer and Ryan Spencer to talk about the golden era of surf videos, Surf Madness, Quiksilver, Billabong, Kelly Slater, Jeremy Flores, Nate Tyler, Dane Reynolds, Taj Burrow, John John Florence, surf photography, underwater shooting, and the chaos behind some of the most iconic and bizarre moments in modern surf culture.
Morgan shares how he got into surf photography, how he linked up with Sterling, what it was like working around Kelly Slater and Jeremy Flores, the strange tension between surf brands, and why the early internet surf world was full of thin skin, weird beef, and all-time comedy.
This one has everything: Jeremy Flores drama, Kelly Slater stories, Surf Madness history, Crocs surfing, Quiksilver trips, Billabong weirdness, near-drowning in Florida, and Morgan Maassen explaining how he somehow survived years of being friends with Sterling Spencer.

The Wedge got so big surfers pulled out 9-foot guns—and Blair Conklin says it was some of the biggest surf he has seen there in his lifetime. In this episode of the Pinch My Salt podcast, Blair breaks down the historic Wedge swell at Newport Beach, why it may have been the biggest in over a decade, and how it compared to Hurricane Marie.
Blair takes Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan inside the chaos: two waves colliding, unpredictable takeoff zones, massive shorebreak, Hawaiian chargers, Koa Rothman, a bodyboarder throwing a double backflip, and the split-second positioning needed to catch one of California’s most dangerous waves.
The three-time United Skim Tour World Champion and legendary Vic winner also talks about growing up skimboarding in Laguna Beach and helping push skimboarding into the viral era. The conversation gets into Tfue’s skimboarding roots, Bill Bryan’s influence, monkey crawling, surfers versus skimmers, why unfinished skimboard waves still count, novelty waves, wave pools, and whether skimboarding might actually be harder than surfing. This is a full breakdown of The Wedge, modern skimboarding, surf culture, and the strange world where shorebreak specialists become some of the most entertaining athletes in action sports.
Blair also reveals what makes The Wedge so difficult when it gets this big, who dominated the historic swell, and why positioning at the exact point where two waves collide can be both terrifying and nearly impossible.

Did Marshall Alberga date the same woman as Kelly Slater? In this episode of the Pinch My Salt Podcast, professional surfer Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan sit down with Florida surf legend Marshall Alberga for one of our wildest surf conversations yet. Marshall tells the story of beating 11-time world champion Kelly Slater in a man-on-man surf contest at Cocoa Beach, the awkward handshake that followed, and why things between Marshall and Kelly may have remained weird for nearly 20 years.
The crew also talks about Kelly Slater’s competitive mindset, East Coast surfing, Florida surf culture, the Sean Slater Invitational, Cocoa Beach surf contests, and what it was like growing up inside the professional surf industry. Then the conversation moves to Hawaii’s North Shore, Pipeline, Jamie O’Brien, surf houses, pro surfer groupies, wild North Shore parties, accidental drug deals, getting shot with a pellet gun, and the unwritten rules of surviving Hawaii as a young surfer.
Before the podcast, Sterling, Ryan, and Marshall take a spontaneous Florida surf trip to chase a powerful East Coast swell. They battle nonstop current, short-period waves, sunburn, exhaustion, long beach walks, and the reality of trying to surf when you are no longer 18 years old.
Marshall also opens up about his history with Sterling Spencer and how their friendship helped Sterling recover after his traumatic brain injury. During Sterling’s recovery in Hawaii, Marshall helped him paddle out, surf again, regain his strength, and rediscover why surfing was supposed to be fun. Their friendship eventually helped inspire the comedy videos and surf content that led to the creation of Pinch My Salt.
This episode dives into the rise and fall of the early-2000s surf industry, surf sponsorships, Billabong, Lost Surfboards, No Fear, NSSA contests, East Coast Surfing Magazine, magazine surfers, professional surfing contracts, trust-fund surfers, social media surfing, YouTube surf careers, Nathan Florence, Jamie O’Brien, and why so many retired professional surfers eventually become real estate agents.
The guys discuss the pressure young surfers faced when brands promised they could become the next Kelly Slater. Surf companies sponsored hundreds of kids, placed stickers on their boards, dangled the dream of becoming a professional surfer, and often moved on when the next younger athlete arrived. Marshall explains why so many talented surfers struggled after their professional careers ended and why he believes kids should learn to love surfing before worrying about sponsors, contests, money, fame, or becoming a surf legend.
They also break down the difference between surfing on the East Coast, the Gulf Coast, California, and Hawaii. Is Florida too comfortable for professional surfers? Do fishing, Southern food, small-wave contests, local fame, and comfortable hometowns stop East Coast surfers from chasing their full potential? Why does Hawaii create such a different level of commitment, fear, discipline, and work ethic?
From Kelly Slater rivalry stories and Jamie O’Brien’s Pipeline house to surf industry politics, Hawaiian culture, accidental crime, old-school surf sponsorships, surf contest psychology, brain injury recovery, friendship, family, healing, and rediscovering the aloha spirit, this episode covers every side of surfing.

Is the World Surf League actually for sale… and if so, who in the world is buying it?
On this episode of Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan dive into the possible sale of the WSL, the future of professional surfing, and whether competitive surfing lost its core audience when the ASP became the World Surf League. Could ESPN buy the WSL? Could wave pools, YouTube surf content, or a UFC-style reality show save pro surfing? Or is the surf contest world too niche, too expensive, and too disconnected from real surf culture?
We talk WSL business rumors, surf industry drama, why nobody watches contests live anymore, Kelly Slater, Jack Johnson, Tom Curren dream trips, core lords, surf skating, Hawaiian surf culture, surf addiction, and why surfing might be the most magical and destructive sport on earth.
If you love surfing, surf comedy, surf podcasts, WSL drama, pro surfing history, wave pools, surf culture debates, and two Florida surf cousins trying to figure out who ruined the tour… this episode is for you.

Tom Carroll joins Pinch My Salt to talk about one of the biggest shifts happening in surfing right now: wave pools, the future of surf contests, the WSL, and whether competitive surfing is about to change forever. In this episode, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan dive into wave pool surfing, the Stab air contest, Huey Vaughn’s insane aerial progression, the WSL’s New Zealand/Raglan event struggles, flat surf contests, modern surf judging, the future of surf competitions, and why wave pools might become the next major stage for professional surfing.
Tom Carroll, two-time world champion and one of surfing’s most respected legends, drops in to talk about winning the first professional wave pool contest in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1985, beating Derek Ho, and what that strange moment in surf history says about where surfing is headed now. TC breaks down the energy of wave pools, the pressure of performing in front of a close crowd, Kelly Slater’s wave pool, Surf Ranch, the dream of pressing a button for perfect waves, and whether surfers still have the patience to wait on the ocean.
The boys also get into Sterling turning 40, surf legacy, getting older, pro surfers not mattering, Jack Johnson allegedly cussing, John John Florence’s fake music career, Walton Goggins aura, Kimana’s big-man power surfing, soft top chaos, public breastfeeding disasters, seaweed trauma, and the possibility of a future wave pool tour with DJs, celebrities, pool parties, and actual entertainment.
Is the ocean tour in trouble? Are wave pools the future of surfing? Can the WSL survive flat contests? Is Tom Carroll secretly the first wave pool champion ever?

Luke Cederman, aka Raglan Surf Report, joins Pinch My Salt for a hilarious surf podcast episode breaking down the WSL New Zealand Pro, the Raglan contest drama, the lack of waves, pro surfing chaos, surf culture, World Surf League commentary, CT surfers, Gabriel Medina, Filipe Toledo, Jack Robinson, Kelly Slater, twin fins, surf industry rumors, and why this New Zealand event felt like one of the weirdest WSL contests ever. Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan call Luke live from Raglan to get the inside scoop on what was really happening behind the scenes at the contest, from boring heats and bad conditions to pro surfer energy, local New Zealand surf culture, WSL event vibes, and whether the whole thing was a huge fail or just classic surfing chaos.
In this episode of the Pinch My Salt Podcast, Sterling Spencer and Ryan Spencer roast, react, and break down the biggest surf clips of the week, including the WSL quietly selling its stake in the Kelly Slater Surf Ranch, the future of wave pools, Filipe Toledo riding a twin fin in competition, Kelly Slater’s old-school Gold Coast surfing, Tom Curren’s legendary style, Dane Kealoha footage, shark chase clips, garage surf training, skimboarding madness, pro surfers becoming real estate agents, and the eternal question: is modern competitive surfing actually fun to watch?
Luke Cederman brings the perfect Raglan chaos to the show as the guys ask what the WSL New Zealand event was really like from inside the scene. Was the contest boring? Were the waves bad? Were the pros partying? Was Gabriel Medina actually staying in a shed? And is Raglan Surf Report officially the mayor of New Zealand surf comedy?
This episode is full surf comedy, WSL roasting, pro surfing stories, New Zealand surf scene madness, surf industry talk, Kelly Slater jokes, Jack Johnson aftermath, Tom Curren worship, twin fin propaganda, and classic Pinch My Salt nonsense.

Jack Johnson joins Pinch My Salt for a hilarious, deep, and surprisingly surf-core conversation about Kelly Slater, The Surfers band, Tom Curren, Rob Machado, Peter King, North Shore surf culture, Banana Pancakes, Thicker Than Water, Loose Change, Pipeline, Backdoor, Tamayo Perry, surf films, Hawaiian music, and the wild story of how Jack Johnson may have accidentally been left out of Kelly Slater’s surf supergroup.
In this episode, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan sit down with Jack Johnson to talk about his early days as a surfer, filmmaker, musician, and North Shore kid before he became one of the most recognizable singer-songwriters in the world. Jack tells the story of playing bass in the original version of The Surfers with Kelly Slater singing, Tom Curren on drums, Rob Machado and Peter King on guitar, and how somehow he and Curren never got the call when the record happened.
The boys also get into Banana Pancakes, Jack’s surf movie roots, getting roasted by Saturday Night Live, refusing to wear a fedora, surfing with Kelly Slater, getting humbled at Pipeline, Hawaiian slack-key guitar, and why Jack Johnson’s music became the nervous-system regulator for an entire generation of surfers.
This is one of the most legendary Pinch My Salt episodes yet — part surf history, part comedy podcast, part therapy session, and part lost chapter of surf music lore.
Featuring: Jack Johnson, Sterling Spencer, Cousin Ryan, Kelly Slater stories, Tom Curren stories, Rob Machado stories, North Shore Hawaii, Pipeline, Backdoor, Thicker Than Water, Loose Change, Banana Pancakes, The Surfers band, Hawaiian music, surf comedy, surf podcast, and classic surf culture.

Raimana also talks about working with Kelly Slater, the Surf Ranch, celebrity surfers, Prince Harry surfing, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, and the hilarious story behind Cindy Crawford calling him the “Blue Pill.” We get into the Kelly Slater vs Joel Tudor / FireWire surfboard drama, surf industry politics, wave pools, getting beginners barreled, white rice, Tahitian energy, and why Raimana might be the funniest surf legend alive.

The boys also get into classic Pinch My Salt chaos: Sterling’s secret Verizon commercial money, the legendary Dodge Omni trade with Yancy, pro surfer travel stories from South Africa and Brazil, Jonah Hill possibly using Pinch My Salt lingo in a movie with Keanu Reeves, North Shore afternoon energy, Ireland travel plans, marriage, kids, grip strength, conspiracy theories, moon landing talk, surf industry nonsense, and the sacred art of scratching your wax after falling.

What happens when Bert Kreischer sits down with the Pinch My Salt crew and starts firing off stories like a machine-gun… about surfing, comedy, fame, Hawaii, localism, “small waves,” and the one joke **Netflix actually pushed back on?
In this episode, Bert breaks down the moment **Shannon Sharpe basically invented his life story on a podcast (and Bert just… went with it). We talk the burnout of modern podcasting, the chaos of touring, surfing culture and pecking order, why “locals only” energy is so gnarly, and the difference between chasing big waves vs. actually enjoying the small ones.
And then Bert drops the health bomb: blood thinners, a blood clot, and touring sober — while still trying to keep the throttle pinned.

In this episode of the Pinch My Salt Podcast we sit down with Yancy for a legendary, unfiltered, laugh conversation that swings from surf culture and Florida surf life to faith, spirituality, and growing up in strict Christianity—with a hard detour into the most chaotic 90s MTV story you’ve ever heard. Yancy breaks down what it feels like “crossing the bridge” from youthful ego to wisdom, why the fight to be spiritual can get weirder the closer you get to God, and how surf life tests your patience (and your flesh) daily. Then it goes full send: his real-life experience on MTV’s Singled Out with Jenny McCarthy, a blindfold, wild questions, a brutal “set up,” and a date that spiraled into absolute madness. We also hit classic Pinch topics like airline travel rants, old-school surfboard factories, Skip Frye surfboards, and why beach dredging / beach renourishment is wrecking sandbars and surf.

EP 105 | The Secret Art of Barrel Riding | Pinch My Salt
The Secret Art of Barrel Riding goes way deeper than just getting pitted. In this episode of Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan unpack what it really means to progress in surfing—from learning how to ride barrels properly to understanding the mindset of true surf black belts. Using legendary moments from Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, Tom Curren, Bruce Irons, Kelly Slater, Rasta, and Bryce Young, the boys break down why some surfers naturally flow with the wave while others fight it. This episode blends barrel riding technique, surf philosophy, and real-world lessons about patience, commitment, and timing—on a surfboard and in life.
We get into why tail pads can hold you back, how removing them forces better rail work, why Bruce Irons’ knee-drag changed Pipeline forever, and what made Tom Curren’s barrel stance so different from everyone else’s. Along the way, the conversation drifts into dad life, ego, aging, creativity, midlife pondering, learning when to let go, and why chasing titles—or forcing turns—doesn’t always lead to happiness. From body surfing and foils to core-lord debates, pro-surfer psychology, and why waves seem to “choose” certain people, this episode is for surfers trying to surf better and live better.
If you’re learning to surf, chasing deeper barrels, stuck in a plateau, or just love honest surf talk mixed with comedy and chaos, this one’s for you.

In this episode of Pinch My Salt, we start by reflecting on what it felt like sitting down with 3x World Champion Tom Curren. Not a highlight reel interview, but a rare, quiet, sometimes uncomfortable conversation with one of surfing’s most mysterious figures. We talk about why Tom is so hard to interview, his humility, his long pauses, and why being in the room with him feels completely different than talking to any other surf legend.
From there, the episode opens up into classic Pinch My Salt territory — Christmas chaos, working at church during December, bizarre real-life encounters, and the strange contrast between everyday stress and the calm that surfing brings. We dive into surf and skate culture, Pinchy Clippies, Bam Margera sightings, skating debates, dog surfing, and why certain moments still feel magical in action sports.
The conversation also drifts into surf philosophy, why surfing can feel psychedelic, how waves carry meaning, and why the soul of surfing matters more than clips, algorithms, or industry trends. It’s part reflection, part comedy, part cultural therapy — the kind of episode that could only happen after talking to Tom Curren.

Surf legend Tom Curren joins Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan in Pensacola to talk story, Black Beauty, twin fins vs thrusters, and whether Gerry Lopez “sold out” to soft tops by putting his name on Costco foam boards. In this episode of the Pinch My Salt surf podcast, we go deep on core surf culture, style, and the future of surfing while laughing about The Search era, foamie invasions, and “soft top police” writing tickets in the parking lot.
Tom breaks down his iconic Jeffreys Bay waves, the magic of Skip Frye boards and Al Merrick designs, East Coast surf stoke, twin fins coming back, and why world titles and contest wins can’t deliver real happiness the way faith, community, and sharing waves can. We also get into foiling, skim-style boards, soft tops vs hardboards, surf industry problems, and how groupies, perms, and silver wetsuits somehow all happened in the 80s.
If you love core surfing, surf history, or just want to hear the GOAT of style talk story and roast soft tops, you’re in the right place. Hit play, drop into the convo, and let this one get you psyched to ride real boards, call your local shaper, and paddle out with your crew.

In this episode of the Pinch My Salt surf comedy podcast, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan dive deep into surf culture, surf beefs, core vs kook debates, and the legendary rivalry energy between Sterling and Kelly Slater. This episode is loaded with surf stories, surf injuries, surf philosophy, surf progression, localism, corelord wisdom, and behind-the-scenes tales from the pro surfing world. From calling out surf egos to breaking down why Kelly Slater feared Sterling’s comedy, we explore the wild side of the surf industry, surf contests, YouTube surf culture, and what truly makes someone a “core surfer.” Whether you're into surf training, surfing progression, pro surfer drama, Florida surf history, Hawaiian energy, surf spirituality, or hilarious surf lineup moments, this episode hits everything: Kelly Slater’s ego era, Lar’s zesty phase, Andy Irons battles, surf politics, broken-back stories, twin-fin flow state, enlightenment in the ocean, and discovering soul surfing after injury. This is the most unfiltered, funniest, and real surf conversation online right now.
Aloha 🤙 Welcome to Pinch My Salt with pro surfer Sterling Spencer and cousin Ryan—today we dive into the lineup wars: Core-lords vs. Kooks, “Karen surfers”, Gen Z etiquette, peak-hour rules, and why surf schools aren’t teaching the actual rules of surfing. We break down lineup regulation (no refs, no sidelines), how to read local hours at spots like Pipe, and a belt-rank idea for the black belt of surfing so beginners stop paddling into danger. We react to viral clips (fake shark? arrow check!), John John Florence rail power, Mason Ho magic, skim-style wedges, and Pharrell’s Ebony Beach Club wave-pool program. We debate power surfing vs. sauce, why Andy Irons grit still rules, and how to dress/hold your board so you don’t look like a kook. Plus: photographer drama, industry nostalgia (mag days to TikTok), and Sterling’s favorite board right now (JS Flamefish quad). If you surf, skate, or just love surf culture, this episode is for you—like, sub, and drop your worst “Karen in the lineup” story below.
Thanks Pinchers! You’re the real Core-lords holding down the digital lineup. Remember: pick up your trash, respect peak hours, and never fart in the barrel

Sterling Spencer finally apologizes to Gen Z surfers — but blames the algorithm. In this hilarious and brutally honest Pinch My Salt Podcast episode, Sterling and Cousin Ryan dive deep into the battle between core vs zesty surfing, authentic surf culture vs algorithm chasing, and the rise of Gen Z surfers doing it for the clip instead of the wave. From Sterling’s viral “Sorry Gen Z” song to full-blown discussions on surfing’s soul, vaping surfers, skate park clout, surf industry grifters, and why exposure doesn’t pay the bills, this one’s a must-watch for every surfer who’s ever wondered: is surfing still about the ocean—or the algorithm?
The boys also talk skimboarding fails, dad life lessons, gratitude, core surf legends like Joel Tudor, and how social media is mutating the next generation of surfers. Raw, funny, and painfully true, this episode captures the heart of what’s happening to surfing in 2025.
👉 Watch till the end for deep laughs, surf wisdom, and a reminder: Don’t lose your soul to the scroll.

We roast soft-tops, salute the Herbie/Nathan/Christian Fletcher lineage and Astrodeck, debate WSL reform (END the endless qualifying grind, merge storylines, boost media), and ask the hard question: Is pickleball bigger than surfing—and why? We break down style vs. tricks, longboarding at size, and what makes true black belts like John John Florence, Joel Parkinson, Griffin Colapinto, Italo Ferreira, Nathan Florence, Kai Lenny (and yes, Kelly) different. Expect Mavericks walls, Snapper Rocks frontside/backside confusion, Pipeline/Tahiti/Jaws talk, Gen Z “training” on land, and classic Pinch My Clips chaos—plus the “Core-Lord vs. Soft-Top” cage match you didn’t know you needed.

We unpack the chaos of surf culture — from Taylor Swift engagement chatter (and why celebrity news hijacks your brain) to the real top plus-size surf legends and what living inside the Volcom/Billabong houses actually felt like. We debate skate shoes (core brands vs mega-brands), and then drop a blueprint for raising a core-lord grom: single fin → twin fin → thruster. Sterling breaks down why boredom is the secret doorway to style and creativity, how a twin fin resets your rails, and why thrusters still matter when it’s time to sharpen turns. We riff on Dane Reynolds lurking, Jamie O’Brien vlog era zest, and the long shadow of Makaha legends — the “Da Bull” era and beyond. If you love real surf talk (with laughs), nostalgia, and practical progression tips, this is your episode: culture, boards, houses, history, parenting, and how to keep surfing fun without losing your edge.

Hurricane Surf Florida—is chasing East Coast hurricane swell worth it or just hype? In this Pinch My Salt episode, We break down what really makes hurricane surf work in Florida: swell angle around the Cape, offshore wind windows, big tide swings, sandbar shape, and why perfect-looking cams still hide mushy walls. We compare spots from Cocoa Beach and Sebastian Inlet to New Smyrna, Fort Pierce, and Hatteras; talk lineup etiquette and why “the spot everyone lies about” stays quiet; and explain the board choices that matter on storm swell (fish vs shortboard vs glider/noserider). You’ll get first-hand stories from Florida’s surf mecca, quick history on Sebastian’s jetty changes, plus real talk about FOMO, nine-hour drives, and whether you should just fly to Costa Rica instead. We also shout out local shapers (Ricky Carroll, Cronin, Fat Cat), cover wide point forward/back, rails and volume for windy takeoffs, and how drones changed the game.

From surf beefs to split peaks, this episode is packed with hilarious core-lord stories that only true surfers know.
We also get into the rise of drone clips and how adult beginner surfers with drones are buying their way into the lineup, changing surf etiquette, and manipulating pros with the power of footage. Sterling reveals why clips are “currency” in surf culture, and why surfers will do anything for the right angle.
From Florida’s forgotten surf heroes to why there should be a Gulf Coast Surf Hall of Fame, we talk surf history, surf respect, and how the core lords of the sport never get the recognition they deserve. Plus — kickflip struggles, tattoos, kids’ contests that felt like rooster fights, and how generational parenting shaped surfing.
