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.

EP 113 | The Jaws Drama Between Kai Lenny and Laird Hamilton | Pinch My Salt
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Kai Lenny breaks down the real story behind his tension with Laird Hamilton — the miscommunication, the “never meet your heroes” moment, and how they eventually squashed it. In this episode of Pinch My Salt, we go deep on big-wave surfing, tow-in surfing, foiling, stand-up paddling, windsurfing, kiteboarding, and what it actually takes to survive places like Nazaré and Jaws (Peʻahi). Kai shares insane behind-the-scenes stories from the lineup, near-death wipeouts, the chaos between sets, and why the ocean rewards the people who “read the room.” We also hit surf culture, waterman mindset, Red Bull athlete life, sponsorship reality, and the funniest fuel secret ever: Taco Bell bean burritos. Plus: gym/swim drama, relationship “cycle” theory, and the kind of unhinged comedy you expect from the Pinchers. Subscribe for surf podcast clips, big wave stories, waterman talk, and comedy with Sterling & Cousin Ryan.
In this episode:
Kai vs Laird: what happened + how it got fixed
Big-wave reality: towing, barrels, hold-downs, lineup danger
Foiling + alternative crafts + why surfing needs a “new game”
Burritos as performance fuel
