Hello - My eldest daughter Lucy moved to London a couple of years ago. She is advanced intermediate (Shortboard longboard and Log). She is contemplating joining a boardriders club to get more waves. i told her i’d post here and pass on any wisdom that comes back. Any local knowledge or contact would be appreciated.
Hey ombe crew ! I just came back from Sydney urbnsurf with some footage. I have been working with all the fantastic coaches at the bowl lab on the GC in the last couple of months and I really switched my surf from flat to almost a full top to bottom, which is incredible! I feel like I’m still needing more work on getting vertical and move my body efficiently! What’s your thoughts ?
Thanks in advance 🤙and big thanks to Jack and Ray for taking me to a different level !
Hi everyone! Any advice on my snap/end turn? I’m pretty happy with my timing, bottom turn, and the initial arm movement, but I’m really struggling to complete the second half of the maneuver. I know I need to stay a bit more compressed, but aside from that, any tips? Really appreciate it!
I should add that this session was the first time I have gone left in the pool. My previous session was a right hand wave and as I am reasonably happy with my take off now I decided to move on to Trimming. After about 20 waves I don't think I got on rail at all.
Was it me, the small wave or the board volume. Without any OMBE insights I decided to try a left wave for a change. I found heading down the line difficult, I either surfed or fell off the back of the wave.
But when I played back the video I just thought while I was lying down trying to get behind the surfer in front I actually managed to momentarily get on rail.
Thanks for commenting Graham, Alessandro and Scott I am going to go get on my bosu ball right now.
Do I get on rail while I am trying to get around this young man?
I am struggling trying to trim on this high volume board
Hi, I have been following the intermediate course and the skateboard videos so far. The surf footage is from a surf pool in Rotterdam, the beginner wave. I have been trying to go back to the pocket after the pop up. On the skateboard I have been trying to wiggle less and compress/extend more.
I know there is a lot to improve that’s why I am posting it.
I would be grateful for tips I should immediately focus on, or mistakes I should try to avoid!
Hi everyone!
I'm new to the Ombe community and would really appreciate some general feedback on my surfing. I feel like I need to work on compressing and extending more, holding my turns longer, and staying on rail — but I’m not quite sure what to prioritise. This was filmed at the intermediate point setting in the new wave pool in Munich.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Cheers, Nico
Apparently I now qualify for an Over 60s Bus Pass in the UK!
Can you take surf boards on buses...? 😁
Has anyone got experience of these new settings? If so what are your thoughts? Is it still 50% off for same day surfs ?
First video post. I would appreciate a tip to utilize more of the wave. I feel slow to generate speed, and missed the turn opportunity once passing the person dropping in. OBME has helped me alot so far, hoping to be ripping at my full potential by hurricane season this fall. Thank you in advance, John from Point Pleasant NJ USA.
