Episode 18
Thursday, 15 January, 2026
Conner sits down with 2018 World Junior Champion, CT threat, and certified 805 Authentico, Kirra Pinkerton. Kirra opens up about growing up in San Clemente, chasing down world-class right-handers, and how that gritty surf education shaped her into one of the heaviest rail-surfers of her generation. She and Conner dive into life on the Championship Tour and the highs and lows of competing at Pipeline. Kirra talks about the self-belief it took to carve her own lane, her drive to keep evolving her surfing, and the influence of legends like Carissa Moore and Lakey Peterson – women she grew up watching and is now battling in heats. She shares her love for long California pointbreaks, explains how kinesiology studies keep her body firing through a packed season, and looks ahead at where she wants to take her surfing next.
