Here’s part 2 of Clay’s video, along with some exciting updates on what we’ve been working on lately!

We’d love to hear your thoughts on what content you’d like us to cover next. We’ve received some great feedback about adding more mobility-focused content, but we’re open to any other ideas you might have.

Also, we’re planning to expand our retreat destinations next year or 2025, can you share to us where your dream surf trip destination is?

Let us know in the comments section! Thank you!🙏🏾

Which board should I be looking to buy next?

I currently ride an 8 foot soft top and am able to ride down the line in both directions no problem just from angling my takeoff. Im looking into purchasing a midlength to start learning how trim properly and generate speed.

I’m 5’9” and weigh 195 lbs. Also I’m surfing in Florida where the waves are generally pretty mushy. Does anyone have any recommendations for either specific boards, or at least some dimensions that I should be looking at buying?

Thanks guys!

(Also I completeded the beginner pathway, which was awesome, and have moved on to the intermediate pathway. Which is another reason why i think its time to graduate from my soft top.)

I would consider myself a line 2 surfer at this point, actively looking for opportunities to practice bottom turns and connecting them with cut backs.  I do feel that I struggle with the concept or feeling of riding the rails.  And as a surf enthusiast, I'm intrigued by all board shapes and sizes.  I currently ride a 7 footer pin tail mid-length mostly.  Would riding a smaller fish help or hurt the process of learning to ride the rail more?  Thoughts?

Hi all!
I’ve finally started getting more video footage of myself surfing since the wave pool opened up. I have been working on trying to use the whole wave by going top to bottom but one thing I have noticed is that my right hand/coffee cup hand seems to be mostly stuck in place. Any advice?
Thanks,
Paul

Hey OMBE community, I'm hoping to get some advice. I usually ride a 7'4" midlength (Harley Ingley Moe) and through OMBE method, have gotten very comfortable doing the OREO method and catching a ton of waves and doing some maneuvers.  In order to progress and work on getting more vertical, I got a narrower 6'8" board (Lost Crow Killer).  Last few session on this board has been a challenge.  Mainly because I don't feel the lifting of my feet like I usually do with my 7'4" when I'm paddling into a wave.  This was typically a signal for me to arch my back and glide.  Now, all I feel is a lift under my chest.  I'm guessing this is to be expected with a shorter board.  But when I feel this lift under my chest and try to glide by arching my back, the wave tends to go under me.  Of course, a lot of Youtube videos say to paddle harder and lean forward, which I know is not the OMBE way.  Rather than continuing to struggle and create bad habits, I wanted to see if any of you out there went through something similar transitioning to shorter boards.  Thanks in advance!

Couple of turns from this morning.

Working on fixing my twist and passing the coffee cup at the top and the timing of the compression/ cardboard slide on the way down.

I feel like it's getting better... could just be fooling myself.

Surfing the advanced setting at the wave today. I often lose momentum. Looking at the photos I think I need to stack more over the front foot and get on rail. Any other input gratefully received

Trying to focus on breathing and coffee cup.
I know it’s flat surfing. Waves were knee to thigh high. Surfing on a DHD Phoenix 5’8” 31.5L
Any advice is welcome.

Hey OMBE Community,

We hope you’re all having a great weekend. Heres a quick video update from Clay regarding the live session that was scheduled for Tuesday.

Unfortunately, we have to cancel the session as Clayton will be undergoing surgery next week. We deeply apologize for the change, and we know many of you were excited for the session. Your understanding and patience mean a lot to us during this time.

We’ll keep you posted on when the next session will take place once Clay is back on his feet.

We wish you a speedy recovery Clayton Nienaber!
