PINCH MY SALT
Pinch My Salt is the ultimate mashup of surf podcast and comedy podcast — where surf culture gets roasted, worshipped, and flipped upside down. Hosted by pro surfer Sterling Spencer and his filmer Cousin Ryan Spencer, each episode dives into the weird, wild, and hilarious world of surfing, skateboarding, and everything salty in between.
From soft-top drama and gnarly Pipeline surf house fights to legends like Andy Irons and Kelly Slater, no topic is off-limits. It’s part spiritual journey, part stand-up routine, and all surf-core chaos.
If you love laughing at surf industry conspiracies, nostalgic stories, or just want a break from the serious side of surfing — this is your spot.
Subscribe for weekly drops. Stay salty.
