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 everyone thanks for your feedback a few weeks back, we’ve had another dry day here although the bowl was still a pond. I’ve tried to work on slowing the turn down and controlling both arms. I’ve exprermented with a few trigger words, the first one was “breath” to help slow me down and the second one was “armpit” 😅 it felt more fluid

Surfing Stance
I'd like to get some opinions of surfing stance. A lot of advice (that I'd previously followed), advised to have the front foot at 45deg angle, and the back foot at 90 deg.
I see that clay has both front and back feet at 45 degrees. To me this feels much more natural. Is there a reason for the differing advice?

Hello Ombe community!

I’m back to surfing / skateboarding after 3 years and I’m loving the content of the courses. I’m focusing into surf skating to improve my surfing.

I would love a feedback on my movement here. I’m still feeling tight and not able to go higher on the ramp nor generate enough speed continuously. Any suggestions? (I’m doing the beginner surf skate course)

Thanks guys! :)

Hello OMBE Community! :)

After the feedback I got in my last video skating on a ramp, I decided to regress and master the turn on a flat ground. Can you guys give me a feedback on where to improve? Thanks!

Hi !
After finally moving closed to the ocean, I progressed a lot since then but I feel like I struggled to fix some of my mistakes and it leads to a lot of frustration 😅
I struggled to be right at the peak, often too much inside or to much backward.. When I'm well placed, often I take off to late and I'm behind the section, I never really surfed down the line and this is really frustrating 🥲
I tried the Oreo biscuit technics and it worked well on couple waves but sometimes I do it too early
If you have some tips 🙏🏼
Maybe my board is too demanding for my low intermediate level, it's a 6'7 and I'm 6'4 and 83 kilos what's your thoughts ?
