We mean the waves, of course. Head high? Double over? 30 ft? 100? An Irish beer brand will be the judge of that, in 3-4 business years. After discussing the new How Surfers Get Paid ep, Mikey and Buck debate whether or not Saquarema is a good wave and discuss the passing of San Diego surfer Patrick Phillips after an accident at Teahupo'o.

This week on Pinch My Salt, we sit down with the legendary Raimana Van Bastolaer, the iconic Tahitian surfer, Teahupo'o waterman, surf guide, wave pool coach, and one of the most beloved characters in surfing. Raimana tells wild stories from the early days of Teahupo'o, growing up around Manoa Drollet, switching from bodyboarding to surfing, hosting Hawaiian surfers like Pancho Sullivan, Noah Johnson, Andy Irons, and Bruce Irons, and helping bring big-wave safety, jet skis, and surf culture to one of the heaviest waves on earth.Raimana also talks about working with Kelly Slater, the Surf Ranch, celebrity surfers, Prince Harry surfing, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, and the hilarious story behind Cindy Crawford calling him the “Blue Pill.” We get into the Kelly Slater vs Joel Tudor / FireWire surfboard drama, surf industry politics, wave pools, getting beginners barreled, white rice, Tahitian energy, and why Raimana might be the funniest surf legend alive.This episode has everything: Teahupo'o stories, Tahiti surf history, Kelly Slater stories, Andy Irons and Bruce Irons memories, celebrity surf coaching, surf comedy, wave pool madness, FireWire surfboards, Joel Tudor opinions, and pure Raimana joy.If you love surf podcasts, surf comedy, surfing stories, Teahupo'o legends, Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, Bruce Irons, Tahiti surfing, Surf Ranch, wave pools, or just hearing one of surfing's most joyful humans tell insane stories, this episode is for you.Drop a comment for Raimana, tell us your favorite story from the episode, and let us know who we should have on Pinch My Guest next.Subscribe to Pinch My Salt for more surf comedy, surf culture, surf industry stories, legendary guests, and salty conversations from the weirdest corners of the surfing world.KeywordsRaimana Van Bastolaer, Raimana surfer, Teahupo'o, Tahiti surfing, Tahitian surfer, surf podcast, surfing podcast, surf comedy podcast, Pinch My Salt, Pinch My Guest, Kelly Slater, Kelly Slater Surf Ranch, Prince Harry surfing, Cindy Crawford surfing, Jonah Hill surfing, Matthew McConaughey surfing, Andy Irons, Bruce Irons, Joel Tudor, FireWire surfboards, Kelly Slater FireWire, wave pool surfing, Surf Ranch, celebrity surfers, big wave surfing, Tahiti surf guide, Teahupo'o history, Manoa Drollet, Pancho Sullivan, Noah Johnson, surf industry drama, surfboard industry, bodyboarding to surfing, getting barreled, surf guide, surf coach, surfing legendsHashtags#Raimana #Teahupoo #KellySlater #SurfPodcast #PinchMySalt #Surfing #SurfComedy #TahitiSurfing #SurfRanch #WavePool #AndyIrons #BruceIrons #JoelTudor #FireWireSurfboards #PrinceHarry #CindyCrawford #SurfCulture #BigWaveSurfing #SurfLegends #PinchMyGuest

“My ego and my common sense still argue with each other.”  For someone who's spent decades stress-testing the edge of what's survivable, Nate Fletcher talks about his surfing career like it was mostly something that just happened around him. His impact on surfing is undeniable, across airs, big waves, and board and fin design. And though he carries it like a man overdue for a cigarette, nursing a permanent headache, each sentence beginning with a reluctant exhale, he also seems largely without ego, even as he admits it still tends to argue with his common sense.  To muse on the impact he's left behind is to treat his career as a finished painting, something to step back and admire, as if he isn't still out there at 50, dragging a wet brush across the canvas. He does, however, admit to being done with big wave surfing, after a life spent learning intimacy with death, including being towed into one of the heaviest waves ever at Teahupo'o, and producing one of surfing's more deranged frames: suspended for a second, then gone. “I have nothing left to prove,” says Nate. “The only reason I did it was for the rush. I don't get that rush anymore. At some point you've got to ask why you're doing it. I don't really care what people think. I helped set the bar, but you can't do it forever.” Nate has never seemed to care much what people think. He was laughed at for riding colourful boards and for experimenting with four fins, even by Kelly Slater, who later ran the setup in competition and said he hoped it might stand as his legacy.  “I like colour,” Nate says, simply. This week, Dooma and Dane talk to Nate about the state of surfing and its drift toward wealthy hobbyists, how he became a pro surfer by accident, the debt he owes his mother for surviving him and Christian, and the generations of background misogyny she endured, the impact of social media on kids, and his continued admiration for Kelly Slater. We also debut a new segment with a WSL insider. Enjoy the episode.

Olympic gold medalist and Challenger Series champion Kauli Vaast joins Joe Turpel for an in-depth conversation ahead of his highly anticipated Championship Tour rookie season. Kauli opens up about growing up in Tahiti, learning to surf near Teahupo'o, and traveling solo to Europe at just nine years old to sharpen his competitive edge. He reflects on balancing school and surfing, choosing to go all-in on a pro career, and the mindset that helped him qualify for the CT. He also dives into the powerful coaching team guiding his rookie campaign, including mentorship from Jeremy Flores, strategic support from Joan Duru, and collaboration with Tomas Mallem. Kauli explains how rotating between coaches, building trust, and focusing on mental performance helped him handle pressure and perform at the highest level. The Tahitian standout also shares stories about his family's influence, surfing heavy waves with his siblings, and living a deliberately “off-grid” lifestyle while traveling the world. From the pressure of qualification to his goals of Rookie of the Year and ultimately a world title, Kauli breaks down what drives him as he prepares for his debut season. Plus, Kauli talks equipment, his coaching team, the upcoming CT stops, and why winning at home in Tahiti remains his ultimate dream. Learn more about Kauli and follow him here.

Born and raised on Oahu, Kelia Moniz is a two-time world longboarding champion, freesurfer, wife, mother, and entrepreneur. From a deeply rooted surfing family, Moniz rode her first waves around the time she learned to walk. She started competing at age 15, racked up a string of victories, and turned pro shortly thereafter. She is the 2012 and 2013 world longboarding champion. She spent much of the 2010s as a traveling freesurfer. In 2015, on a trip in Tahiti, she rode serious Teahupo'o on a longboard. Now 31 and a mother of two, Moniz and her husband, photographer Joe Termini, recently opened the Honolulu Pawn Shop, which sells clothing and Joe's work. In this episode of Soundings, Moniz talks to Jamie Brisick about competing, longboarding, her Town roots, living out her dreams, her most memorable trips, overcoming self-doubt, Rell Sunn's legacy, starting her own business, and surfing as a universal language.

In a special two-parter episode of The Lineup, Dave Prodan sits down with fearless big wave charger and YETI ambassador Tom Lowe for two powerful conversations – one from before his nearly fatal incident in Tahiti in June 2025 and one after. In the first part of the episode, Tom rejoins us from Tahiti, still in recovery, right from the very place where he describes everything went very quickly from a dream to a nightmare. He walks us through the day it happened, at least all the moments he remembers. He recounts the locals' heroics, catching a few mid-sized waves himself, gaining confidence, and feeling ready for a big one. He speaks candidly about the mental toll of this injury versus the physical, and the emotional weight of what he's put his loved ones through. With striking vulnerability, he opens up about the recovery, the guilt, the gratitude, and the commitment to keep moving forward. The second part of the episode was recorded just before Tom's most recent mission to Tahiti, a trip that would culminate in a near-fatal injury at Teahupoʻo. Lowe discusses both the clarity and the nerves he was bringing into the swell, feeling ready to return since his first nearly fatal injury back there in 2023. He discusses life as a dad, the rhythm he's found chasing waves around the world, and the emotional toll of leaving behind his young family to pursue swells as a professional big wave surfer. He reflects on his latest film with YETI, Let Me Live, a raw and beautifully captured portrait of identity, purpose, and a life on the edge, produced by the legendary Keith Malloy and Bimarian Films. Follow Tom Lowe here. Let Me Live is out on YouTube everywhere TOMORROW (6/25). Watch it ASAP. Stay tuned to see the best surfers at the VIVO Rio Pro Presented by Corona Cero, June 21 - 29.

Legendary surfer, filmmaker, and environmental advocate Chris Malloy joins us on The Lineup. Known for his no-nonsense attitude and deep connection to the land, Chris dives into what it truly means to live authentically and reconnect with nature. He shares his views on modern conservation efforts, the surf film industry, and what it was like to watch legends like Tom Curren at Rincon in the early days. From hammering nails, cutting wood and driving tractors to fund his surf trips to taking a leap with Patagonia, Chris recounts how stepping away from big sponsorship deals was met with skepticism but ultimately led to a fulfilling path of making purpose-driven films. He offers an inside look at the surfing world before the internet, when curiosity was the fuel for adventure. Chris looks back at his upbringing, moving from Los Angeles to Ojai in the late '70s—a place he describes was filled with hippies, cowboys, and the Hell's Angels. He reminisces about the early surf trips to the North Shore, scraping by with couch surfing and car camping. Recounting stories of Pipeline, Teahupo'o, and the Mentawais, he paints a picture of an era when surfing's greats carved out a living on the waves and off the grid. Chris also reflects on the changing surf culture, the “passing of the torch,” and how while the younger generation's progression may be incredible, he worries they may be missing out on the raw, unfiltered experience that shaped his own career. Chris continues by discussing the evolution of his filmmaking journey, from his early appearances in Taylor Steele's films to creating impactful surf documentaries with his brothers. He discusses his partnership with YETI and their shared ethos of practicality and purpose. He shares how YETI gear became a staple on his ranch, highlighting the importance of quality tools that allow you to do what you love just a little longer.

Dryrobe ambassador and the first female German surfer to ever qualify for the Olympics Camilla Kemp join us on the podcast. Calling in prior to the start of the EDP Ericeira Pro Presented By Estrella Galicia, Camilla talks to us about her competitive mindset for the year, confessing that while initially her goal was to compete in the Challenger Series in 2024, she opted not to do all the events this year in order to focus on preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics in Teahupo'o, understanding how it important it was to her country and her team. She talks about the incredible support she has received from the German Federation, the team she and Tim Elter had around them, and the preparation they had to take in order to be ready to surf a wave like Teahupo'o. She talks about being a Dryrobe ambassador, and their dedication to telling her story through their film together, CAMILLA. She discusses her upbringing, having been born and raised in Portugal to Dutch and German parents, and the struggle of finding her identity. She reveals having once been in the circus, juggling and monocycling until she discovered surfing. Camilla and Dave muse over the unsuspectingly rich surfing culture in Germany, particularly in Munich, home of the Eisbach River, a popular surfing destination for locals and tourists alike. They discuss Camilla surfing in the German Surfing Championships to be held at the newly opened wave system in Munich, the 02 Surftown MUC from October 11 - 13, her involvement in the SWOX Empowerment Surf Retreat, and her goals moving ahead, before closing out the pod with Instagram Questions, revealing the best place to get an apple strudel in Germany, and the Lightning Round.

La journée du lundi 5 août 2024 restera gravée dans l'histoire du surf français. Ce jour-là, le Tahitien Kauli Vaast décroche une médaille d'or sur l'incroyable vague de Teahupo'o à Tahiti, tandis que Johanne Defay s'impose avec une médaille de bronze chez les femmes.Jugées trop éloignées pour accueillir des épreuves olympiques, les plages de Tahiti ne faisaient pas l'unanimité pour délocaliser le surf pendant les Jeux. Malgré d'autres candidatures en métropole, le comité olympique a souhaité que cette épreuve se passe à Tahiti pour offrir une belle image aux spectateurs, pour faire rayonner tous les territoires français et pour des questions météorologiques.Cet épisode de Code source est raconté par Eve Chancel, journaliste au Parisien, qui a rencontré le médaillé d'or lors de son séjour à Paris.Écoutez Code source sur toutes les plates-formes audio : Apple Podcast (iPhone, iPad), Amazon Music, Podcast Addict ou Castbox, Deezer, Spotify.Crédits.

On this episode of the world's greatest action sports podcast, Chris and Todd somehow manage to cobble together and impressive show from opposite sides of the globe. Chris from Paris, Todd from Monday M.A.S.S. HQ in Encinitas, California. Of course these two talk Olympics, the whole damn world is talking about the Olympics, so why wouldn't we? Anyway, Surfing and skating happened and both were insanity. The Surf event at Teahupo'o was off the charts incredible with some of the biggest, scariest, heaviest, straight-up murderous waves we've seen in a contest in Tahiti in a long time. Skating was nuts as well and since Todd has ADD and probably wasn't paying attention, he called up Alex White who is always on point and knows her stuff. This is a pretty rad show, international intrigue and stuff.
