The WSL is finally listening... but is it too late? In this episode of Pinch My Salt, we break down the biggest shakeup in professional surfing in years: the World Surf League is scrapping the midyear cut, bringing back Pipe, and maybe—just maybe—giving the sport back to the surfers.

We also dig into:

Julian Wilson’s wildcard return at the Gold Coast Pro 🏄‍♂️

Why Felipe Toledo got booed in Australia 😳

The return of style in pro surfing 👑

The end of soft tops? (Core lord opinions inside)

Why surfing desperately needs its own ESPN 🎥

Localism in Hawaii, Ron Jon rage, and the rise and fall of wakeboarding 🚫

This one’s for the purists, the salty core lords, and the kooks with opinions.
Laugh, yell, cry, and paddle out with us.

👇 Let us know what you think:
Is pro surfing saved? Or still totally lost?

From marriage theories to surf metaphors, contest nerves, and the downfall of core surfers, nothing is off limits.

 We dive deep into the hot debate around localism in surfing. Is protecting your home break noble or just toxic gatekeeping? 🏄‍♂️ We share hilarious stories about surf trips gone wrong, filming surf movies with Rob Machado, battling alpha filmer drama, and why goofy footers are like Gen Z travelers. Plus, we uncover how surf culture, skateboarding culture, and even snowboarding tribes view respect and territory differently.

We break down why localism, surf etiquette, and respect for sacred waves are critical — and how greed, resorts, and clout-chasing ruin surf spots for generations. 🌴💥 Should cameras be banned at secret spots? Should local surfers fight for their land before it’s turned into mega resorts? 🌎

Expect comedy, deep surf philosophy, real talk about core surf culture, and plenty of wild side stories (yes, even the naked palm tree farm scene 🌴🤣). If you love surf podcasts, skateboarding, snowboarding, and real convos about protecting surf heritage — this one's for you.
