Happy Birthday matey 🍾🥂🎉🎈🎁🎂🍹🍷🍻🥳🍺🍺🍺🍺
Hey team - brand new to Ombe, just starting the beginner class (I'm more beginner/intermediate but going through it to beat bad habits). Even though I'm right handed and my strong leg is the right one - I prefer to surf with my strong leg in front (goofy) as it's where my weight should be - can anyone answer if that's weird and why? And should I focus on relearning stance or just keep on going with what's comfy? Cheers heaps
Hey everyone! Live session is coming up next week Tuesday, the 18th! Please don't forget to submit your surf and training footage to get a chance on getting them reviewed. Make sure to preregister, so you get a notification when it's about to start: https://train.ombe.co/programs/live-hd4zdc6u_8u...
See you next week!
What got you in to surfing?
During 2nd big Covid Lockdown (November 2020) I went to check on my Mum in North Devon and never went home. Now her full time carer, I started surfing, initially for my own mental health and fitness, aged 56.
Joined OMBE during The Pandemic and progressed from 9ft to 8ft and then a 7ft foamie. Now, June 2024, I'm on a 7ft 8 Ryan-Marco performance mini mal and a 6ft Mayhem Puddle Jumper - trying to perfect my rail game whilst fighting stubborn meniscus and rotator cuff injuries. Is this a sign of addiction? 🤔 🤪
Is anyone else having problems trying to follow the discussions on here?
There doesn't seem to be any sort of proper message threads like you get on regular bulletin boards/ forums and the default setting is "popular" rather than "newest" which doesn't help either ☹️
I find it very difficult to figure out which message a reply is referring to.

Sorry for the late submission of my week 2 video of my superman. Note I forgot to compress on the shortboard step up, but
I really need some more clarity on what the back foot is supposed to be doing. Maria, you were instructed to keep your rear foot
flat (I think?) at some point in your video, in Ant's demo the heel of his rear foot lifts off the floor when he compresses. So have to play
some more with C&E.

Please ignore the landing, this video is about launching myself up off the ground using as little
hip movement as possible. Which feels impossible! :)
