This episode tells the remarkable story of Duke Kahanamoku, one of the most important cultural and sports figures to ever come out of Hawaii and the subject of the documentary The Waterman. More than an Olympic gold medalist and the man who introduced surfing to the world, Duke was a global ambassador for Hawaiian culture at a time when Native traditions and identity were under threat. Bill Pratt, champion swimmer, outrigger canoe paddler, and Cultural Advisor with the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Foundation along with The Waterman director Isaac Halasima discuss Duke's enduring influence, the true meaning of aloha, and what it means to honor a cultural icon with respect and intention.

On the 11th Nightmare Before Christmas... On a sunny November morning in 1971, best friends Debbie Ackerman and Maria Johnson, both just 15, set out for a day of surfing near Galveston, Texas. The two girls were inseparable—bonded by their shared love of the beach, the waves, and the promise of youth. Maria, a newcomer to Galveston, had already endured a turbulent childhood. After her parents split, she bounced between homes and schools before settling into Ball High School. Shy but friendly, she quickly found her place. She loved water skiing, dated a local ski jumper, and spent her weekends at the beach. Debbie, by contrast, was a lifelong islander, what locals called a BOI (“born on the island”). With one brown eye and one blue-green eye, she stood out immediately. She was bold, competitive, and passionate about water sports, often making the local news for her water skiing competitions. Surfing was her favorite pastime, and her friends remembered her as fun, magnetic, and endlessly outgoing. That Sunday, November 14, they planned a short trip to Houston, just over an hour's drive away, to spend the day exploring. Since neither girl had a car, they decided to hitchhike, a common and almost carefree practice in the early 1970s. Witnesses later reported seeing them outside a Baskin-Robbins near Stewart Beach, laughing and chatting as they bought ice cream. A white van pulled up to the curb. The driver asked where they were headed. “Houston,” one of the girls said. It was his route, he told them. They climbed in. They were never seen alive again.

In this episode of The World of Wishes Podcast we meet wish alumnus Lauren Potter. A top junior Olympian at 13, Lauren was a relentless competitor—until a rare, unnamed autoimmune disease left her gasping for breath. After months in Boston Children's Hospital and six rounds of chemotherapy, she chose hope over fear. When her doctor recommended Make‑A‑Wish, Lauren celebrated her recovery with an active, adventurous wish: surfing her first wave on Waikiki Beach, ATV trails through Kualoa Ranch, ziplining across thousand‑foot valleys, and a sunset on the North Shore that felt like peace. Years later, she committed to Yale volleyball, mentored other pulmonary patients, thanked her wish sponsors from the stage, and found her career intersecting with our Miami home—the Finker‑Frenkel Wish House—bringing her journey full circle. In this episode, Lauren shares how positivity, family, and a single wish can fuel a decade of momentum—and why she proudly wears “Wish Kid” as a badge of honor.

The Fact: Those are Figure Skating jumps. In competitive Ice Dancing, athletes are actually forbidden from performing these types of multi-rotation jumps. It is a common mix-up, but the two are separate disciplines! Surfing as a “One-Off” Showcase The Claim: Andrew thought Surfing was a one-time showcase sport for the Summer Olympics, similar to breakdancing. The Fact: Unlike breakdancing (which was only for Paris 2024), Surfing is a permanent Olympic sport. It debuted in Tokyo 2020, appeared in Paris 2024, and is already confirmed for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. The History of Ski Jumping The Claim: Luke suggested that ski jumping started at the Calgary 1988 Olympics with Eddie the Eagle. The Fact: Ski jumping is actually one of the original Winter Olympic sports. It has been in every Winter Games since the very first one in 1924 (Chamonix, France)—64 years before the Calgary Games. When the Games “Staggered” (The 2-Year Gap) The Claim: Andrew and Luke discussed the Games being “staggered” (Summer and Winter in different years) starting after 1988. The Fact: The change actually happened after 1992. Both the Summer and Winter Games were held in 1992 (Albertville and Barcelona). The first time the Winter Olympics were held in their own separate year was Lillehammer 1994. Canada's 2010 Gold Medal Record The Claim: Luke estimated that Canada won about 10 gold medals in Vancouver 2010. The Fact: Canada actually won 14 gold medals in 2010. At the time, this set a world record for the most gold medals ever won by a single country at any Winter Olympics.

Get $10 Off at BRUNT with code: SALTY  at https://bruntworkwear.com/salty  #bruntpod In this episode of Pinch My Salt, we start by reflecting on what it felt like sitting down with 3x World Champion Tom Curren. Not a highlight reel interview, but a rare, quiet, sometimes uncomfortable conversation with one of surfing's most mysterious figures. We talk about why Tom is so hard to interview, his humility, his long pauses, and why being in the room with him feels completely different than talking to any other surf legend.From there, the episode opens up into classic Pinch My Salt territory — Christmas chaos, working at church during December, bizarre real-life encounters, and the strange contrast between everyday stress and the calm that surfing brings. We dive into surf and skate culture, Pinchy Clippies, Bam Margera sightings, skating debates, dog surfing, and why certain moments still feel magical in action sports.The conversation also drifts into surf philosophy, why surfing can feel psychedelic, how waves carry meaning, and why the soul of surfing matters more than clips, algorithms, or industry trends. It's part reflection, part comedy, part cultural therapy — the kind of episode that could only happen after talking to Tom Curren.#PinchMySalt #SurfPodcast #Surfing #SurfCulture #SkateCulture #TomCurren #SterlingSpencer #SurfComedy #ComedyPodcast #SurfTalk #CoreLord #SurfCommunity #ChurchLife #ChristmasChaos #HolidayPodcast #BamMargera #Skateboarding #WestPeak #SoftTop #TwinFin #Shapers #SurfHistory #Pensacola #GulfBreeze #YouTubePodcast #PodcastClips #FunnyPodcast #SurfingLife #SkaterOfTheYear #ChrisJoslin

In this episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with transdisciplinary artist Stephanie Dinkins about AI as a container for preserving oral history, tradition, and the kinds of community knowledge that rarely make it onto the internet.Dinkins shares how a chance encounter with Bina48 in 2014 reshaped her practice. They discuss how this connects to her push for small, community-driven data that protects nuance and self-definition, especially for Black and Brown communities, against the homogenizing pull of large corporate models.They also cover Not the Only One as a “living archive” of family memory, the politics of access, privacy, and consent, and why Dinkins treats imagination (and hyperstition) as a practical method for building the AI futures we actually want.Monday's editorial (Beeple on Robot Dogs as Canvas): https://www.lerandom.art/editorial/beeple-on-robot-dogs-as-canvasChapters

Today we surf the creepy crawly waves, then ones that lurk in the background. We clear out these fearful waves, and fill up with bright energy.

Born in Hawaii in 1961, Danny Kwock rode his first waves at Waikiki when he was ten. Surfing took a brief hiatus when he moved with his family to the San Fernando Valley, but picked up soon thereafter when they moved to Newport Beach, right at Wedge, which is where Kwock made his mark, charging big waves and becoming one of the brightest, flashiest surfers of the Echo Beach scene, wearing pink boardshorts and riding polka dot twin-fins when most Californians followed a far more understated ethos.  Kwock was featured on the cover of Surfer and Surfing magazines in the early 1980s, did a short stint on the world pro tour, but soon became a forerunner to what we now know of as a professional "freesurfer." But he also saw the virtues of the long game. When the opportunity arose to work in a behind-the-scenes role at Quiksilver, he jumped at it, and he hit his straps as the marketing director, a position he held from the early 1980s up until the mid-aughts. (It should be noted that Kwock's relationship with Quiksilver began a few years earlier, when he and his Echo Beach buddy Preston Murray got caught stealing boardshorts from the warehouse.) Kwock's early team captain/marketing position started in what were wild days.

In this episode of the Pinch My Salt surf podcast, we go deep on core surf culture, style, and the future of surfing while laughing about The Search era, foamie invasions, and “soft top police” writing tickets in the parking lot.Tom breaks down his iconic Jeffreys Bay waves, the magic of Skip Frye boards and Al Merrick designs, East Coast surf stoke, twin fins coming back, and why world titles and contest wins can't deliver real happiness the way faith, community, and sharing waves can. We also get into foiling, skim-style boards, soft tops vs hardboards, surf industry problems, and how groupies, perms, and silver wetsuits somehow all happened in the 80s.If you love core surfing, surf history, or just want to hear the GOAT of style talk story and roast soft tops, you're in the right place.

"The song 'Sloop John B' is sung in many languages and countries, I have sung it with friends in a pub myself, and the tune belies its gritty somewhat tragic lyrics as often happens in the folk tradition. I mused long and hard about how to treat it and decided as it is very much the type of song that becomes an 'ear worm', one that you only remember a few phrases of but sing incessantly, and that it would be perfect as a song that gets sung in the shower.  "I recorded myself singing in the shower to the song being played on my phone, mixed it with the downloaded recording, and some seascape field recordings that I made for an oral history project about the fishing fleet here in Hastings, a kind of sound twinning." Original Fishtown Singers reimagined by Mary Hooper.

Hang loose! In episode 149 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about all things surfing. They explore the long history of wave-riding across the globe, from Peru to West Africa, and consider how surfing helps us to reimagine social issues and what surfing reveals about the connection between flow and freedom. Is surfing the pinnacle of human life? How has the sportification of surfing directly contravened surfing's anti-capitalist ethos? Why is the average surfer an image of white masculinity? And how is this image tied to indigenous erasure? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss the similarities between surfing and skating, surfing as an art, and the existential risk of surfing.Works DiscussedDaniel Brennan, Surfing and the Philosophy of SportKevin Dawson, Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African DiasporaWilliam Finnegan, Barbarian Days: A Surfing LifeAaron James, Surfing with Sartre: An Aquatic Inquiry Into a Life of MeaningPeter Kreeft, I Surf, Therefore I Am: A Philosophy of SurfingAileen Moreton Robinson, “Bodies That Matter: Performing White Possession on the Beach”Peter J.
