EP 128 | Who Would Actually Buy the WSL? | Pinch My Salt

Is the World Surf League actually for sale… and if so, who in the world is buying it?On this episode of Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan dive into the possible sale of the WSL, the future of professional surfing, and whether competitive surfing lost its core audience when the ASP became the World Surf League. Could ESPN buy the WSL? Could wave pools, YouTube surf content, or a UFC-style reality show save pro surfing? Or is the surf contest world too niche, too expensive, and too disconnected from real surf culture?We talk WSL business rumors, surf industry drama, why nobody watches contests live anymore, Kelly Slater, Jack Johnson, Tom Curren dream trips, core lords, surf skating, Hawaiian surf culture, surf addiction, and why surfing might be the most magical and destructive sport on earth.If you love surfing, surf comedy, surf podcasts, WSL drama, pro surfing history, wave pools, surf culture debates, and two Florida surf cousins trying to figure out who ruined the tour… this episode is for you.Drop a comment: Who should buy the WSL?#WorldSurfLeague #WSL #Surfing #SurfPodcast #PinchMySalt #ProSurfing #SurfCulture #KellySlater #SurfComedy #WavePools #ASP #ESPN #SurfIndustry #SurfContest #CoreSurfing #SurfDrama #SurfNews #SterlingSpencer #CousinRyan #SurfYouTube
