Hey Clayton Nienaber and community sharing a couple of recent frontside waves. I’m always eager to hear where I can improve. I definitely feel more relaxed on my forehand, but I know there are still areas I can work on…Thanks as always! Yewhh

First day practicing in the water! I’m in Santa Theresa, CR surfing for the next week!! I took it right back to basics (no egos allowed) practicing in the white water. No stress, thinking about Oreos and Coffee. Made it out back for a couple green waves but honestly I was having way more fun practicing in the white water today. Zero stress, no pressure, just fun!!! Honestly, I should have joined OMBE sooner!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Is this Bosu Ball on steroids?
Progress update, practicing backside everyday lately. The problem is still the same, side on, too much weight on back foot, didn’t open the shoulder and look to the lip when trying to bottom turns. Shall i use surfskate to fix all the basic stances and posture or any other suggestions?
Hi, would need your advice for my 1st hard top...
I'm using 8' soft top & I have 5x session on 7' soft top to get used to a smaller board, so I have a smoother transition later...
The wave I'm surfing probaly for now would be Malaysia Cherating Point break & Bali Batu Bolong Reef break. Usually 4ft, occasionally 5-6ft high.
I wonder should I go with a mid or a shortboard?
Mid I'm looking at CI Mid 6'8" 20 3/4" 2 5/8" 40.2L, is this a good one? Or there's better fit for me?
I should also start with plastic fins right? Even with soft top I get fins hitting my leg here & there...
I have a bad habit outsource my question to chatgpt which i really donno it's really telling the truth or crap, I think I need to make use of the community power here more...
Hi wanna get ur advice, this wave is pushed into by my local coach.
I should be kissing my knee more?
How exactly is the trimming timing? My shoulder fixed facing down the line? I look and point to the left to go up gain speed then look and point to the right to go go down, but down stay down too long else will be hit by the whitewater like me?
Clayton Nienaber saw a YouTube video on someone else's channel, Jade, where she comes out to Australia for your coaching.
Just wanted to say it was enjoyable watching it from the "person needing the coaching" perspective. Telling her she was un-coachable- after her 1st session made me LOL cause it's exactly what I would expect you to say based on all the OMBE/Surf lab stuff I've watched.
I think it's absolutely brilliant if you could get more people to do this. Ie people with a youtube channel or social media following that can come out and get coached by you. And have them post it for everyone to see.
That is all. Keep up the great work.
After couple weeks surfing, finally get some videos, any suggestions for what i should improve at the moment? Thanks a lot!
Hello! I’d like to introduce myself to the OMBE community. My name is Sarah. I live/surf in Newfoundland, Canada. I started my surfing journey when I turned 40 a few years ago. I love the ocean and being in it, on it, and around it. I’d say I’m not exactly a beginner, but definitely not intermediate yet. I do surf here when I can but I’d say the majority of my surfing improves while I travel. I joined OMBE just yesterday and I do feel like I’m probably in the right place! I’m looking forward to learning, getting to know people, maybe some in person meet ups, and catching waves!!! Hope everyone is having a great day!
Posting a clip from last April and one from today. Same spot, same board, and very similar rides. Not my best turn today, but was curious to compare it to the one from April because the lines and turn were so similar.
I feel like I at least got slightly more on rail on the turn from today versus last April. Still tend to trim along the bottom of the wave rather than pumping top to bottom, but honestly still feels fun.
One thing that happens a lot is my hands tend to go over my head as I am dropping back down the wave. Not sure what is causing that.
