PINCH MY SALT

Pinch My Salt is back with Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan diving deep into one of the funniest and most strangely controversial topics in surf culture: the double grab air. In this episode, Sterling breaks down why surfers, skaters, magazines, gatekeepers, and aerial surfing purists have argued for years over double grabs, Superman airs, Taj Burrow, Christian Fletcher, Andy Irons, Kelly Slater, CJ Hobgood, Jordy Smith, Matt Meola, Stab High, Surfing Magazine, old-school surf style, skateboarding influence, and what actually makes a surf trick cool or lame.

The boys also get into classic Pinch My Salt chaos: Sterling’s secret Verizon commercial money, the legendary Dodge Omni trade with Yancy, pro surfer travel stories from South Africa and Brazil, Jonah Hill possibly using Pinch My Salt lingo in a movie with Keanu Reeves, North Shore afternoon energy, Ireland travel plans, marriage, kids, grip strength, conspiracy theories, moon landing talk, surf industry nonsense, and the sacred art of scratching your wax after falling.

This episode is pure surf comedy, surf history, pro surfing stories, Florida surf culture, old-school surfing nostalgia, and two cousins trying to figure out the universe one ridiculous conversation at a time.

Watch more Pinch My Salt for surf podcast comedy, pro surfer stories, surf industry drama, funny surfing clips, WSL talk, skateboarding crossover, North Shore stories, and the strange beautiful world of surf culture.

Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan are back with another unfiltered surf comedy podcast full of ridiculous stories, deep surf takes, old-school surfing debates, family chaos, and weirdly heartfelt moments.
