Have you ever heard Sterling Spencer talk? If so, I doubt I need to convince you to click on this video.

If not, nothing I write here will do justice to the caliber of surf-oriented comedy which spews from Sterling every time he opens his mouth — so you might as well just go watch it.

In the fourth episode of his new podcast ‘Pinch My Salt’, Sterling explores a variety of topics including Laird Hamilton pooping while shooting the Malibu pier, growing up as a centaur, and how it felt to write the hit song “Banana Pancakes”.

He is the pinnacle of surf humor, but it hasn’t been a simple road to comedic glory. We’re currently working on a documentary about Sterling’s comeback from a TBI, which should be out in late February.

For now, enjoy his inspired rambling.
