EP 114 | Was Kelly Slater Wrong to LEAVE?! | Pinch My Salt
Episode 114
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
In this episode of Pinch My Salt, we break down the Kelly Slater drama, the Channel Islands vs Firewire controversy, and the latest conversation around Stab in the Dark. Was Kelly Slater wrong to leave Channel Islands Surfboards? Did he “betray” Al Merrick and Britt Merrick, or was it a smart business move after everything he gave to surfing? We get into the history of Kelly Slater and Channel Islands, why so many surfers are calling him a snake, and why we think the story is way more complicated. This is a full Kelly Slater podcast discussion with surf industry talk, board brand politics, sponsorship money, Firewire surfboards, Quiksilver, and why legends don’t always get paid what they’re worth. If you’ve been following the Kelly Slater Stab in the Dark debate, the Britt Merrick comments, or the surf world reaction, this episode is for you. We also talk surf culture, podcast backlash, family, healing, and some absolute chaos along the way.
