Possible future OMBE Surf training in America?!?
Just found out Myrtle Beach, South Carolina will be building a wave park by 2026, if I recall the news story correctly. It will be less than 5 miles from my house. We also have a small bowl to skate at the local skate park.
Clayton, if you ever wanna expand some surf training to the US.... and this park ever ACTUALLY gets built. I would LOVE to be the first student to sign up. Brah...you could even crash in my spare room if need be and if you can deal with my crazy kids yelling all day.
Myrtle beach doesn't typically get good ocean waves outside a few during the hurricane months (Aug-Nov). But a surf park would make that a non-issue. And I've already been preaching the OMBE method at the local skatepark and bowl to some of the local boys.
Think about it bro..... you got plenty of time to work out the details.
Let me know....LOL
Hey everyone! Working on my frontside turn today, first time at the ramp. I was so excited that I was losing my fear of falling each time I tried a turn hahaha Any tips? Thank you in advance đ¤
Hi! I'll be in Indo in one month approx. I am looking for help selecting the board I should choose. I am a intermediate/lower intermediate surfer, I can do non radical turns in the waves (which I would like to improve/radicalize) and I can get inside of barrels but haven't properly gotten out of one.
I like decently sized waves and I'm looking to get into bigger stuff while there, though I haven't ever been in anything proper big, and probably won't be on this trip.
I am 1m83cm and weigh around 80kg and I am in good(ish) paddling shape.
I was thinking Indo rocket from Jim Banks, around 6'2 6'3 but this is my first time in Indo and first time surfing proper shallow reef so I am totally open to suggestions and recommendations.
I am looking for all rounder that shines when the surf is good and one I can get a proper barrel if the opportunity arises.
If there's any more info needed please let me know, thank you very very much in advance.
Best,
Trufa

Thoughts on adding a tail pad to a mid length? Â Just got a 7â custom mid length that is geared a little more toward the performance side. Â So plan on doing more than just trimming down the line. Â But if we are mostly weighing to the front foot on our turns, does it make sense to still have a tail pad?
Hi guys, Im surfing a beach break which closes out 99% of the time. Im thinking about the positives such as working on my pop up, duck diving and bottom turn before the wave closes out.
Is there any other areas which I could work on? Many thanks.
Here's a good article, especially for those of us who don't live near "perfect" breaks...
