    EP 112 | The Wildest Surf Podcast Crossover Ever ?! BERT KREISCHER | Pinch My Salt

    What happens when Bert Kreischer sits down with the Pinch My Salt crew and starts firing off stories like a machine-gun… about surfing, comedy, fame, Hawaii, localism, “small waves,” and the one joke **Netflix actually pushed back on? In this episode, Bert breaks down the moment **Shannon Sharpe basically invented his life story on a podcast (and Bert just… went with it). We talk the burnout of modern podcasting, the chaos of touring, surfing culture and pecking order, why “locals only” energy is so gnarly, and the difference between chasing big waves vs. actually enjoying the small ones. And then Bert drops the health bomb: blood thinners, a blood clot, and touring sober — while still trying to keep the throttle pinned. If you’re into surf culture, comedy podcasts, Hawaii stories, standup behind-the-scenes, or anything in the orbit of **Joe Rogan-style longform chaos… this one’s for you. 0:00 Bert Kreischer  Surf culture: lineup hierarchy, “locals only,” and why it scares people off Hawaii surf trips, Turtle Bay vibes, and surfing as the most rewarding feeling The “small waves are where the fun is” life lesson (this part hits) Behind the scenes of Bert’s Free Bert writing + the one joke Netflix didn’t love Blood clot, blood thinners, and touring sober surf podcast, comedy podcast, Bert Kreischer podcast, Pinch My Salt, surfing stories, Hawaii surf, localism surfing, lineup etiquette, Turtle Bay surfing, New Smyrna Beach surfing, standup comedy behind the scenes, Netflix comedy series, Free Bert, touring sober, podcast burnout, Shannon Sharpe podcast, Joe Rogan comedy Hashtags #PinchMySalt #BertKreischer #SurfPodcast #ComedyPodcast #SurfCulture #Hawaii #StandUpComedy #PodcastClips #NetflixComedy #Surfing

    EP 111| Pretty People Ruined Comedy!? IAN BAGG | Pinch My Salt

    Pinch My Salt Podcast is back with a heater: we’re joined by crowd work wizard and comedian Ian Bagg for a wild, hilarious conversation that somehow covers stand-up comedy, crowd work, surfing, church video life, marriage advice, gym chaos, and the weird overlap between comedians and surfers. If you love comedy podcasts, surf culture, and the kind of episodes where you genuinely don’t know what’s coming next—this one’s for you. Ian breaks down what crowd work actually is, why some comics hate it, how social media changed comedy, and why staying true to yourself matters more than “playing the gatekeeper game.” We also get into real talk about grief, keeping life moving after loss, and finding your way back to joy—then immediately ruin it with more dumb jokes (as we should). 🌊 Topics in this episode: • Crowd work vs “written” stand-up comedy • Getting told “don’t talk to the audience” (and doing it anyway) • Comedy being an “ugly man’s game” (until the hot people showed up) • Marriage, touring, and what actually keeps a relationship healthy • Surfing attempts, surf culture, and why surfers are built different • The church videographer life + “Kickflips for Jesus” energy • Losing a parent, grief, and learning how to bring color back into life 🎟️ See Ian live + tour dates: check Ian Bagg’s official site (mentioned in the episode) 👍 If you laughed even once, hit like, subscribe, and drop a comment: Are you Team “crowd work is harder” or Team “write the set”?

    In this episode of Pinch My Salt, we sit down with BRICK — DJ, producer, and founder of the Ebony Beach Club — to talk about Black surfers, representation in surfing, and why surfing should be for everyone. Brick shares the real story of how Ebony Beach Club started, what it felt like being one of the only Black people in the lineup, and how a simple idea turned into a massive movement celebrating Black beach culture, surf community, and belonging in the ocean. We get into surf culture, barriers to entry, how to make surfing more welcoming, and what equality in surfing actually looks like when you’re the “only one out there.” If you care about diversity in surfing, inclusive surf communities, Black surf history, or you’re just curious how Ebony Beach Club grew from a meetup into something huge — this conversation is for you. Brick also breaks down the balance between keeping it fun and building something meaningful, plus what’s next for Ebony Beach Club (surf programs, swim programs, camps, and more).

    Gabriel Medina just walked away from Rip Curl after 16 years—and the surf world is officially changing. In this episode of Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan break down the biggest surfing news and what it means for pro surfing contracts, surf sponsorships, and the future of the surf industry. Are legacy surf brands like Rip Curl, Billabong, Quiksilver and Volcom losing their grip? Why are top surfers chasing new deals, luxury brands, and short-term “collabs” instead of lifelong sponsor relationships? We talk Gabriel Medina, Yago Dora, and how “surf teams” and big surf movies are fading while surf vlogs, YouTube surfing, and surf podcasts are taking over. If you’re into surf culture, corelord vs zest, behind-the-scenes surf business talk, and hilarious hot takes, this one’s for you. Watch to the end for bonus chaos, old-school surf nostalgia, and the real truth about where surfing is headed in 2026.Sterling’s got opinions. Ryan’s got questions. And the surf industry’s got problems.👇 Drop your take: Is Medina making the smartest move in surfing… or is this the beginning of the end for the old sponsor era? 0:00 Blading, Tom Curren News 5:05 Ryans Announcement & idea 8:37 PINCH MY CLIPS 17:42 Crystals and Cellulite 21:26 Christmas reflection 26:24 Gabriel Medina! 32:15 Vlogging and Florence 35:04 Modern Pro Surfer 42:39 Kelly and Baywatch 46:35 Kelly Slater and Rasta Beef! 50:20 Future Pro Surfer Entertainer 53:33 Therapy Advice #SurfPodcast #GabrielMedina #RipCurl #Surfing #SurfNews #ProSurfing #SurfIndustry #SurfSponsorship #WSL #YagoDora #SurfCulture #SurfVlog #YouTubeSurfing #CoreLord #Surfer #SurfTalk #SurfBrands #Quiksilver #Billabong #Volcom #StabMagazine #NathanFlorence #SurfComedy

    How Two Pro Surfers Discovered the Fedora | Pinch My Salt Two pro surfers head to California and absolutely lose the plot. 🌴🤣 In this episode of Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan dive into wild California stories, surf culture chaos, skate park madness, and the kind of unfiltered comedy you only get from lifelong surfers.

If you’re into surfing podcasts, skateboarding culture, action sports humor, or comedy podcasts that don’t hold back, this episode is for you.

    EP 105 | The Secret Art of Barrel Riding | Pinch My Salt

    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. #PinchMySalt #SurfPodcast #BarrelRiding #HowToSurf #SurfTips #GetBarreled #SurfBlackBelt #SurfingLife #SurfCulture #CoreLord #JordySmith #DaneReynolds #TomCurren #BruceIrons #KellySlater #Rasta #BodySurfing #FoilSurfing #NoTailPad #SurfPhilosophy #SurfComedy #GulfCoastSurfing #SurfPodcast #Surfing #SurfCulture #KellySlater #TomCurren #BruceIrons #RobMachado #SurfingLife #SurfComedy #Foiling #SurfClips #BarrelRiding #NoTailPad
