Morgane Herculano is a professional high diver, Harvard graduate, and one of the most fascinating athletes you've never heard of. Born and raised in Switzerland, Morgane turned a love of flips at her local pool into a global career, diving from cliffs and platforms towering nearly 60 feet above the water. Now based between Boston and Montreal, she joins The Lineup fresh off a season that took her from Japan to Iceland to Italy, competing across the world in conditions that test not just athletic precision but nerve, adaptability, and trust in yourself. Morgane opens up about the mental side of diving with the fear never really goes away, what it means to balance intellect and adrenaline, and how social media has created new ways for niche athletes to make a living. She reflects on her journey from traditional diving to the extreme world of high diving, the challenges of growing up as the oldest of five in Switzerland, and earning her spot at Harvard without an athletic scholarship. She discusses how the NCAA NIL law changed the game for college athletes' opportunity to earn income, the unique camaraderie within the cliff diving community, and the accomplishment of a top-five World Cup finish in 2025.

Happy Halloween from Pinch My Salt—the surf-comedy podcast with Sterling Spencer & Cousin Ryan. Tonight we summon North Shore myths, Pipeline nightmares, Santa Cruz sketchiness, church hell-house stories, and the eternal debate: is gatekeeping surfing good for the culture or a kook move? We roast foilboarders, praise core lords, confess to bowling with Australians, and ask why the scariest waves make us feel the most alive. If you love surf history, wipeouts, haunted swells, Kelly Slater & Laird Hamilton lore, Hawaii surf culture, Pete & Pete nostalgia, and ridiculous Halloween bits, this one's for you. Hit LIKE, drop a

Conner Coffin sits down for an episode of Cold Beer Surf Club with Santa Cruz legend, Mavericks pioneer, and all-around surf icon Peter Mel. Recorded just a day after the Big Wave Awards and with Conner's dog Finley curled up on Pete's lap the whole time, Peter reflects on The Eddie, the celebration of big-wave surfing, and the highs and lows that come with chasing the world's heaviest waters. He talks through his 2021 Ride of the Year at Mavericks, a wave 30 years in the making, and how the pure bliss of that moment was followed by days of solitude and introspection. The conversation dives into what it means to truly commit to a life in surf, the peaks and valleys, the recovery, and the discipline it takes to keep catching your best waves at 55. From growing up in Santa Cruz and pioneering Mavericks, to his battles with dark times, addiction, and rediscovering joy through surfing, Pete opens up about resilience, purpose, and gratitude. He also shares stories about the new generation of big-wave chargers, his relationship with Channel Islands Surfboards, Darc Sport Athletics, owning Freeline Surf Shop, and how surfing has evolved from the early Santa Cruz scene to the YouTube era of surf influencers.

Nic von Rupp joins The Lineup with Dave Prodan as he prepares for another Big Wave season, coming off one where he earned the 2025 Best Team Performance Award and added to his growing legend as one of big wave surfing's most complete athletes. Calling in from home after a ten-foot barrel session, Nic reflects on how far his country and his career have come. From an era when it was “unthinkable” to be a professional surfer from Portugal to now representing his nation at The Eddie Aikau Invitational, Nic shares how Nazaré transformed not only global big wave surfing, but the identity of an entire coastline. He dives deep into his path from Nike and Monster-sponsored competitor to free surfer and filmmaker, why he walked away from chasing jerseys, and how the “Von Froth” persona came to life. Nic talks about chasing barrels at Mavericks and Jaws, pioneering sessions with Tom Lowe, and how his background in competition taught him the consistency and discipline to handle big days at home. Together with Dave, Nic discusses the state of the surf industry – from the rise of athlete-driven content to the decline of traditional surf sponsorship – and what he thinks the next generation of pros really needs. He also opens up about his creative process, balancing the froth with perspective, and how staying healthy and curious keeps him charging forward.

Big-wave surfer and Dryrobe® ambassador Laura Crane joins the pod to talk about her rise at Nazaré, the power of resilience, and finding identity through the heaviest water on Earth. Fresh off her second full season in Portugal, Laura reflects on the highs of qualifying for the WSL Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge and the lows of breaking her ankle during one of her sessions. She opens up about the rehab process, slowing down after years of intensity, and what she learned from navigating injury, recovery, and expectation. Laura shares how Nazaré has become her “classroom” over the past three years, training with Tony Laureano, and even stepping up to rescue her hero Maya Gabeira. She looks back on her journey from a 12-year-old national champion from Devon to a sponsored Billabong pro, and how the surf industry's obsession with image left her battling mental health challenges and an eating disorder. Her story is one of rediscovery — trading modeling sets and TV screens for big waves, community, and purpose. Now, through her Crane Surf Co. ocean wellness retreats, Laura helps others harness fear as a tool for growth. She also pays tribute to the women who've inspired her – from Maya Gabeira, Justine Dupont, Michelle des Bouillons to the new generation of chargers redefining what's possible in women's surfing.
