About this episode
Who is the best surfer in the world—and what actually makes someone “the best” in surfing? Is it airs, power turns, getting barreled, or just having the most fun? On this episode of Pinch My Salt, pro surfer Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan dive deep into surf culture, surf comedy, and the eternal debate: performance vs. soul surfing. If you love surfing podcasts, skateboarding culture, beach life, surf edits, and funny takes on pro surfers like Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, or Tom Curren, this is your episode. We unpack everything from underrated surfers, surf localism, soft top culture, bald celebrities (👀 Bieber), Slater clones, and why some surfers are just born blessed with pecs. From wave pools to WSL drama, from longboards to sketchy reef breaks, this surf comedy podcast blends hilarious storytelling with real surf insights. Whether you're a core lord or a casual fan of surfboards, wetsuits, or skateparks, there’s something in here for you.
