PINCH MY SALT

Welcome back to Pinch My Salt, the funniest surf podcast on the planet - where ex-pro surfers, core lords, and soft top haters unite. In this episode, we dive deep into the spicy world of surf industry tariffs, aging rippers with paddle priority, and the hidden costs of cheap China soft tops. Is the surf community ready to go core again? Will new import taxes finally kill off the mass-produced foamies? We unpack it all - from surfboard shaping conspiracies to the unspoken laws of the lineup. Plus, Sterling shares his hot takes on board flow, air game vs rail game, and how butt shots broke pro surfing.

We also tackle surf school soft tops, GoPro culture, and whether narcissists are ruining the ocean. This is surf culture comedy at its finest.
