EP 105 | The Secret Art of Barrel Riding | Pinch My Salt
The Secret Art of Barrel Riding goes way deeper than just getting pitted. In this episode of Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan unpack what it really means to progress in surfing—from learning how to ride barrels properly to understanding the mindset of true surf black belts. Using legendary moments from Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, Tom Curren, Bruce Irons, Kelly Slater, Rasta, and Bryce Young, the boys break down why some surfers naturally flow with the wave while others fight it. This episode blends barrel riding technique, surf philosophy, and real-world lessons about patience, commitment, and timing—on a surfboard and in life.
We get into why tail pads can hold you back, how removing them forces better rail work, why Bruce Irons’ knee-drag changed Pipeline forever, and what made Tom Curren’s barrel stance so different from everyone else’s. Along the way, the conversation drifts into dad life, ego, aging, creativity, midlife pondering, learning when to let go, and why chasing titles—or forcing turns—doesn’t always lead to happiness. From body surfing and foils to core-lord debates, pro-surfer psychology, and why waves seem to “choose” certain people, this episode is for surfers trying to surf better and live better.
If you’re learning to surf, chasing deeper barrels, stuck in a plateau, or just love honest surf talk mixed with comedy and chaos, this one’s for you.
