As a 60+ year old trying to re-become a surfer, this training program has been fantastic! It has not only taught me about (finally) understanding the body positions that the best surfers use, but its also about the various types of land training that I can now work on to get better when I’m not in the water. If you want to get better, and if you want an integrated coaching program to teach you and inspire you, I can’t recommend this enough.

As a beginning surfer, the OMBE Surf training program has really helped me understand what I need to do at my level to improve my surfing. The OMBE program teaches proper surfing technique and I think this focus separates the OMBE surf training program from the rest.

Wow! This is the missing link in our surf universe! Not only is the presented content pure gold but the approach of openly sharing professional knowledge and uniquely wanting to create a world of better surfers is just next level!!! Thank you so much for your extremely open and generous approach. You're setting a new bar about how sharing works in the most unpretentious and professional way!

I've been surfing for almost 20 years and before starting the program, I thought I was surfing good. I would go fast, fast, fast on a wave and try to make a huge turn, pushing on the back foot and I thought it was good. But for some reason, I couldn't tell why when I see pictures or some footage of my surfing, I wouldn't like it. Since the program I learnt my stance was wrong and how to actually do turns and hold them longer, to throw more spray and I look more stylish now. Now people say to me, my surfing looks better, what have you been doing? Thanks to OMBE, Clayton and the crew.

What training program is right for me or where should I start?

There are multiple different programs and this is designed to help you achieve what you want in your surfing.


If you are unsure of where to start, follow the guided pathways for either a beginner or intermediate.


These two programs are our biggest and will introduce you to new training that follows from the previous training, building small wins and either establishing the fundamentals or mastering the fundamentals of surfing.

These two programs will show at the top of your dashboard.

Otherwise you can dive into manoeuvre deep dives and opt to focus on one manoeuvre, mastering it, with training split based on skill level.

If you identify bad habits you can dive into individual programs based on fundamentals of surfing.

What is OMBE and what does it mean?

OMBE stands for Ocean, Mind, Body and Equipment.


It is an approach with a focus on syncing all four major aspects within your surfing. When all four are in sync, your surfing will improve and you will easily enter a flow state within the ocean.


Most surfers will focus on their equipment first and expect an immediate improvement in their surfing but there is an order to OMBE and a reason for it.


You first must pay attention to the ocean and what it is doing, then calm your mind, relax and remove tension, as well as understanding how to do the manoeuvres, then you give your body the chance to effectively do the manoeuvre and your focus is on removing tension in the body and doing it more effortlessly. The board will either amplify or mute your movements and then it is a case of right tool for the job.

What new programs are coming soon and how do I submit an idea?

You can see our public OMBE Roadmap of what we are working on now, what's next and what we are considering. You can also vote for what you'd like to see the most, submit an idea and see what has previously been completed.


Click on the "Submit an Idea" tab and let us know what you'd like to see!

What if I'm landlocked or only get to a beach every so often?

That is fine. all of the programs are created with that in mind. If a program includes water-based training, simply save it up until you have the chance to get to the beach.


There is a lot of land-based training designed to get you to feel the movements so when you get to the surf you can easily replicate the movements and understand how they should feel.


The land-based training is designed to break patterns and add in the repetitions. This is vital in building the muscle memory and neurological pathways to learn and develop skills. The idea is by simulating surfing on land, we can rapidly develop these systems. When we enter the surf, we can further build upon them and allow our bodies to follow the muscle memory we have been training.


Surfing is great but the amount of training in a 2-hour surf is minimal compared to 30 minutes of land training.
