Hi guys I’m a beginner/low intermediate & am really finding it click when doing the Oreo and finding the shoulder… however at my local surf spot a lot of other surfers manage to get on full slow rising waves even on short boards they seem to be paddling quite hard and kicking to assist and have got their chin further down than I’d expect based on what I’m learning here… are there any teaching resources on riding different types of conditions or wave like dumpy/close outs???
This weekend I accomplished to not only paddle out with some of Victorias best surfers into 8ft+ surf, but also comfortably ride many of the waves.
Its taken two years to create and fine tune new surfing techniques thanks to OMBE.
Its been a hell of a journey with major knee injuries at Ulus, lower back and wrist injuries from learning to skate and freezing my ass off in the pool during the cooler months. However, its all been worth it 😀
Thanks to the team at OMBE and everyone in this community for your continuous support and good nature. Keep having fun coaching and learning, enjoy your next session surfing and I wish you all the best in progressing. 🙏😃
A little clip of the surf attached for your enjoyment. Best I can say for location is west coast.
Is it possible that a person's board can have too much bouyancy for them? Because my gut is telling me I do. Despite being a Beg.
Anybody in the NYC area that wants to meet up? I’ve been following OMBE for a while and have made great strides to my surfing (Thanks Clayton!). I usually surf by myself and would love to share the stoke with more people! Leave a comment here or hit me up on ig (@brianyin). Just looking for someone to surf/surf skate together or just hangout and talk about surfing! Sharing a wave of me doing a top turn for the first time!
Doing the beginner pathway and focusing on the walk up. Still very unstable. Putting a rolled blanket under the board really forces me to slow down. It gives me instant feedback on how the weight is distributed on the board while walking up. I hope this will help me maximize my oereo game 😁
Are you noticing anything I can fix right away before I start repeating the drill in the coming weeks?
Hi everyone! Been surfing for 10 years now and have gotten in a weird funk where every surf session I catch maybe 1-3 waves max. Never seem to be in tune with the ocean. I’ve tried to take a break of 2 weeks to a month, positive head space, different boards, different waves you name it haha but everytime I go out I seem to still not be able to turn on and catch more than a few waves. It’s been 5 months and I’m starting to feel like surfing isn’t fun anymore. Any tips?
Wearout of wetsuit Neoprene at Knee (Front foot)
Do any of you ever have an issue with the knee wearing out on your wetsuits? Specifically the front foot knee Neoprene? This could be something I am doing wrong with my pop up but I can't see a solution when your knees have to touch the board to push upwards.
Would be interesting to see if anyone has this issue also.
