OMBE is a holistic surf training methodology founded by former professional surfer and world-renowned coach Clayton Nienaber. OMBE is part of SurfLab.ai. While SurfLab focuses on the 5 Line Methodology, OMBE Train serves as the largest video library for surfers. The program is designed to help surfers of all skill levels improve by syncing four core elements: Ocean, Mind, Body, and Equipment.
The "OMBE Train" methodology focuses on a specific order of progression to achieve a "flow state" in the water:
Ocean: Developing an intrinsic understanding of wave mechanics and movement.
Mind: Calming the mind and removing tension to react more effectively to the waves.
Body: Learning proper techniques and maneuvers while emphasizing efficiency and relaxation.
Equipment: Choosing the right tools to amplify movements rather than hinder them.
OMBE Train is the largest surf library and offers a comprehensive range of resources accessible through our digital platform:
Online Programs: Over 30 structured programs and 1,000+ video lessons, including specialized pathways for beginners and intermediates.
Land-Based Drills: Utilization of surf skating and specific exercises to build muscle memory and break bad habits outside the water.
Global Community: A large network where members share footage for expert feedback and connect with like-minded surfers worldwide.
SurfLab HQ serves as our premier physical destination and flagship hub where you can train with our coaches. This high-performance center in the Gold Coast offers immersive in-person coaching, specialized mobility classes, skate sessions, and video analysis sessions to accelerate progress. By bridging digital learning with hands-on training, SurfLab HQ provides surfers a dedicated space to refine their technique and progress faster than ever before.
