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?
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?
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.

I think you need to make a date for the first live of September soon if you are going on a trip?
Day one of the make a wave challenge and well... I did not get to surf today. Work stuff... Been a month of work stuff putting everything else on the back seat so I have been rather unprepared and a lot to catch up with.
Lucky the make a wave challenge allows for any surf related activity in the water, and out so I figured I would at least prepare for the month a bit. So I got the old... old...oooooold wax off the board and made a few reminders for the month to come. I don't remember ever seeing this surfboard so clean and shiny before... I didn't want to put back in the sock 😂
As for the stickers, arrows are to remind me of feet positioning, the other a coffee cup of course and another to get it up with my hips forward.
On the bright side, the forecast was not surfable for today anyways, after this week, the weekend free up again.
