Episode EP 85 | What Andy Irons Told Me On His Last Surf | Pinch My Salt
This is the surf history episode you didn’t know you needed. We dive deep into the raw, untold stories of Andy Irons, Jay Adams, and the legends that built the foundation of modern surfing. From the rise of the shortboard revolution to the fall of the surf industry post-COVID, Pinch My Salt lays it all out—uncensored, hilarious, and fully core. Hear firsthand stories of Andy’s final days, surf missions with Jay Adams, the evolution from Tom Curren to Kelly Slater, and how the Momentum Generation changed everything. We explore how wave pools, soft tops, and YouTube “pros” diluted the culture—and why the real surfers are taking it back. We expose the surf industry's collapse, the greed during COVID, and the quiet death of the soft-top era. If you’re obsessed with surf history, core culture, and want to laugh through the chaos—this one’s for you. 🌀 Support the rebirth of the surf world. 💬 Drop a comment, like, and subscribe to keep the core alive. 👕 Merch for real surfers: [insert merch link] Hashtags for Reach: #AndyIrons #SurfHistory #PinchMySaltPodcast #JayAdams #MomentumGeneration #TomCurren #KellySlater #SurfCulture #CoreLords #SurfPodcast #SoftTopEra #HardboardsOnly #PostCovidSurf #SurfIndustryCollapse #WavePoolEra #SkateAndSurf #LegendsOfSurfing #SurfersOfInstagram #NorthShoreHistory #SurfDocumentaryStyle
