About this episode
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? 👊 Subscribe for more unfiltered surf talk: #WSL #prosurfing #julianwilson #goldcoastpro #felipetoledo #pinchmysalt #surfcomedy #surfdrama #surfpodcast #surfyoutube #surfnews #surfstyle #corelords #softtops #surfingchanges #pipesurfing #surfsatire #surfespn #boardculture #kookoftheday
