Hi team! Just went to the wave in Bristol and looking for any pointers to take my surfing to the next level. Thanks :)

Hey everyone. I just had a client drop out of a Mentawais boat trip planned for October 2026. Send me a message if anyone is keen. I can do it at a reduced rate.

Recently I made (well, didn't make) a takeoff on a heavy wave. The wave was not even head high but had a lot of power on a shallow bank. One of my quad fins went through my calf muscle to the bone.Β 

I should have stuck to my single fins lol.

Anyway, I've since put those proteck fins in that board. They're hard plastic with a soft rubbery edge. They perform well enough for me.Β 

Thought I'd post this as a reminder to remember to take the edge off sharp fins, beware of your fins when falling, and consider safer fins as an option.

Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹

I have a couple of questions regarding my OMBE Lifetime Membership and was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issues.

When I try to watch The OMBE Method content (Trim Lines, High Lines, Turn Lines, and Vertical Lines), I get a message saying I don’t have access and inviting me to purchase a membership. As a Lifetime Member, I was expecting to have access to this content. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you resolve it?

Where can I find the Monthly Challenge content within the app? I can’t seem to locate it.

I’d really appreciate any advice or guidance from the community. Thanks in advance! πŸ™πŸŒŠ

Be injured a while from surfing, finally getting back, any tips for the top turn? Or actually i should do a deeper bottom turn to reach more the lips?

Hi, I think my problem is that I surf to low in the wave and don’t go to the top sufficiently; any suggestion to improve doing it? Thanks

This is me at progressive turn rights.

I struggle a bit on my backside and really struggled to capture speed on this session.

My feeling is that I’m surfing too flat and thats slowing it down but I dont know how to keep things on rail for such a weak and small wave.

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

I am sidelined for a bit with a broken toe (non-surfing injury), so I've been taking some video of my friend surfing using my phone.

Really has reinforced how the body automatically wants to follow the eyes.Β  Every single time I looked up to actually see him in the water rather than through the phone screen, the phone tilted up and I was filming the sky.

Really hoping my board will follow my gaze the same way when I look back at the foam on a cutback once I am back in the water!

Going to wait till my follow up dr appt. before I try surfing, but anyone have experience with getting back to surfing after recovering from a broken toe?Β  Assuming it won't make much difference as long as I don't rush back into it before it fully heals.

Hey OMBE heads,

Ive stiched two videos together here on intermediate lefts at URBNSURF Sydney

The first clip I thought looked nice and the second was less nice.

Trying to figure out why I couldnt get any speed/flow going on the second and what i should do to keep looking nice.

Thanks πŸ™Œ
