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

OMBE Gang in Uluwatu?!
Hi,
I was wondering if there are any OMBE students in Uluwatu? We can go surf together, analyze and help each other learn better.
Hit me up if you are around.
Cheers!

Are Referral links still working? Here's one I posted recently but it doesn't appear to mention the 2 weeks Free Access?
You won't regret it. Use this link for 2 weeks free access to Ombe Surf

Just came across this on the Basics podcast… not had time to watch it yet ( up for a dawn surf tomorrow) but I’m sure it will be good. Clayton Nienaber of Ombe Surf : Understanding, speed, power, and flow.

Any thoughts on this line for training a forehand cutback? I highlighted some ridges in the ramp from the built in quarter pipes which I have to bypass in the flats. This is with Carver C5 trucks. Also have CX trucks that would probably allow for a little more lean and tighter turn.
