About this episode
Is the best surfer really the one having the most fun—or just the one selling soft tops? In this episode of Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Ryan go deep into the surf culture battlefield, unpacking the viral phrase that’s dividing the lineup. From Florida to the Gold Coast, we talk surf fights, core lords, and the war between fun surfers and those chasing gnarly progression.We dive into surfing philosophy, soft topper gaslighting, surf influencers, WSL conspiracies, hipsters on twin fins, and the sacred art of taming the dragon (aka going left without crying). Plus: Rob Machado wisdom, Jonah Hill’s path to corelordhood, and the Laird Hamilton vs. Shane Dorian beef.If you’re into real surf talk, surf industry gossip, funny surf podcast convos, and insider takes from ex-pros who lived it—subscribe now.
