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 Clayton Nienaber and community, looking for any feedback on this cruisey wave. The one thing I keep noticing is my posture and not happy with my walk-up — I notice I keep standing slightly side-on. Any suggestions on that, or anything else in my surfing that I’m missing or can improve is always welcome. Yeww!

Hi, looking for some feedback to improve my surfing, any comment is welcomed. In this particular case I lost speed and failed when trying to go back to the pocket. Thanks for the help

Rarely watch youtube videos. But today I stumbled upon this clip. Brought a smile to my face. Awesome. Hope it does the same for the community

Found this in my iMovies. Never posted it. Went with my son's to an Advanced session at Urbnsurf. No surfboard for me. Here's why?

Clayton Nienaber Perhaps it's time to shut down the https://community.ombe.co site as it's getting virtually no usage now apart from spammers trying to flog crap clothing etc.

Also it appears to only be accessible from the web, the app just keeps saying that I need to update it, but there's no update available for it in Google Play Store.

A wobbly take-off has plagued me since I started surfing last year. I just got back from Urbn surf and finally got some footage which is in the link below. I would be eternally grateful for any advice on how to fix this. The board is 6'10" x 20 5/8" x 2 3/4" : 43L.

Dear Community - I always get hung up in the lip and then drop in late...how can I re-program 30 years of surfing to stop stress paddling, get front on, and stop bending at the waist?
