Exciting Changes Ahead! 🌊We’ve restructured our footage review process to make it more beneficial for everyone. While live sessions will be on pause as we adapt to new dynamics with our two candidates, we’re thrilled to announce a fresh approach: your submissions will now be reviewed and shared here in the community!Here’s why we’re embracing this new method:✔️More Engagement: Posting reviews here encourages interaction and brings our quieter members into the conversation. Lives were limiting, as only those free at the time could participate.✔️Flexibility for Clay: With a packed schedule of retreats next year, this setup allows Clay to review submissions remotely during his downtime—ensuring faster and more consistent feedback.✔️Easier Access: Every review and takeaway will be visible to everyone, making it simpler to learn and improve without sifting through past live sessions.✔️Focused Feedback: This organized system will help you concentrate on specific areas to improve.🔔 A few reminders: • Submit one video at a time to give everyone a fair chance for feedback. • Avoid submitting distant or surf-cam footage—Clay needs clear visuals to provide effective, actionable advice.We can’t thank you enough for your support, patience, and understanding as we work through these changes together. Your willingness to adapt and grow with us means the world, and we’re so appreciative of this amazing community. 🙏P.S. I’ve added a Google sheet in the comments for tracking your submissions. If you’d like your older footage skipped, simply select “Y” in column F. This will indicate you’re uploading newer training footage. If you select “N,” Clay will proceed with reviewing your current submission. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hey Ombe crew,
First time caller long time listener.
I have been skating on a smooth star for years now (i know don't judge me yet) as i didn't wanna fork out the funds for a new board as mine wasn't that old.
I am now in the market for a new board and am going to make the transition to carver CX trucks.
I have an email saved that Luke sent out in 2022 where he discussed his own carver setup. He mentioned that he used a pool board deck. As I really only skate in the park or the pool nowadays I think it makes sense to get that. Do you guys have any recs for pool boards decks atm? I am 6'3 so hoping to get one that is 33"/34" inches is possible.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Clayton Nienaber, Luke Hardacre

Hi all. Lucky enough to be asking this question from El Transito, Nicaragua 😎 (on one of my 2-3 trips per year, the only times I can surf)

What do you use for ear plugs (if you use them)? I have ear issues and so use earplugs but am not happy with them. Suggestions? Anyone try SurfEars?

Can someone tell me why it's called the "Oreo biscuit/cookie" technique for catching waves?
I think it works great and use it myself. I just don't understand the name/connection to the Oreo

Hey guys !
Board question for a surfer looking for a board to nail « the line 2 » as Clayton say :
Between the CI MID TWIN 6’10 and the boss up 7’0 which board would fit better for waves condition between 2 to 5 ft ?
I’m 5’11 / 190lb and wants to work on my turns

Thanks guys !

Hey guys I have a board question,
I watched the choosing the right board series and I’m still a little confused as to which board I should buy.

Im currently at the upper beginner level riding an 8 foot soft top. I can paddle out the back, position, catch waves and pop up with no problem but im having a real tough time turning the soft top to start cutting across the face of the wave.

I would like to move to something smaller because Id like bottom turns to be easier. Also Id like to invest in a board that im going to use all throughout the intermediate stage where I can eventually start working on turns and surfing the wave from top to bottom.

I surf in south florida most of the time, where we get mainly mushy wind breaks. However I do go to some of the better breaks in centeral and north florida usually around like once a week.

Also Im 5’8” and weigh 200 lbs

Any reccomendations for what kind of board I should buy?
