EP 71 | Is Localism Saving or Destroying Surfing?| Pinch My Salt Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

We dive deep into the hot debate around localism in surfing. Is protecting your home break noble or just toxic gatekeeping? 🏄‍♂️ We share hilarious stories about surf trips gone wrong, filming surf movies with Rob Machado, battling alpha filmer drama, and why goofy footers are like Gen Z travelers. Plus, we uncover how surf culture, skateboarding culture, and even snowboarding tribes view respect and territory differently.
We break down why localism, surf etiquette, and respect for sacred waves are critical — and how greed, resorts, and clout-chasing ruin surf spots for generations. 🌴💥 Should cameras be banned at secret spots? Should local surfers fight for their land before it’s turned into mega resorts? 🌎
Expect comedy, deep surf philosophy, real talk about core surf culture, and plenty of wild side stories (yes, even the naked palm tree farm scene 🌴🤣). If you love surf podcasts, skateboarding, snowboarding, and real convos about protecting surf heritage — this one's for you.
