Not a highlight reel interview, but a rare, quiet, sometimes uncomfortable conversation with one of surfing’s most mysterious figures. We talk about why Tom is so hard to interview, his humility, his long pauses, and why being in the room with him feels completely different than talking to any other surf legend. From there, the episode opens up into classic Pinch My Salt territory — Christmas chaos, working at church during December, bizarre real-life encounters, and the strange contrast between everyday stress and the calm that surfing brings. We dive into surf and skate culture, Pinchy Clippies, Bam Margera sightings, skating debates, dog surfing, and why certain moments still feel magical in action sports. The conversation also drifts into surf philosophy, why surfing can feel psychedelic, how waves carry meaning, and why the soul of surfing matters more than clips, algorithms, or industry trends. It’s part reflection, part comedy, part cultural therapy — the kind of episode that could only happen after talking to Tom Curren. #PinchMySalt #SurfPodcast #Surfing #SurfCulture #SkateCulture #TomCurren #SterlingSpencer #SurfComedy #ComedyPodcast #SurfTalk #CoreLord #SurfCommunity #ChurchLife #ChristmasChaos #HolidayPodcast #BamMargera #Skateboarding #WestPeak #SoftTop #TwinFin #Shapers #SurfHistory #Pensacola #GulfBreeze #YouTubePodcast #PodcastClips #FunnyPodcast #SurfingLife #SkaterOfTheYear #ChrisJoslin
