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!

Breezy and quiet. Found a few fine ones. Feeling the difference lately — grateful for everything I’ve learned through OMBE.

Si - I think you call it a double concave. Maria, I don't use wax. I hate it melting in the car and sticking to my wetsuit. The front black pad is just a rubber traction mat. The hexagon's are a type of grip and are called RS Pro. Do I slip on this. Sometimes but rarely, certainly not enough to send me back to the wax option.

This clip is a few months old and maybe too zoomed out to see enough detail, but this type of fall at the end of the wave drives me crazy. Some variation of that fall happens about 50% of the time I go for a cutback/carve. Used to be 100% of the time, so there has definitely been some progress. What's the number one thing to focus on to prevent digging the rail and/or flopping backwards on the cutback? I can see a few things I did wrong in this attempt but what was the biggest issue?

Hey guys Ive got a question about foot placement right from the pop up.

Ive progressed my way down to a 6 foot groveler which works well for my mushy waves here in south florida. Im noticing when I do the walk up off my knee my back foot always lands right in front of my tail pad. Here in florida our waves are quick and fairly weak, and im trying to work on turns. That second that it takes me to move my back foot back onto my pad really kills all my speed and momentum and by the time my foots in the right place to turn the wave is usually over. Does anyone have any tips on how to practice getting up with my back foot landing right on the tail?

In terms of everything else my pop up is real solid, my eyes are always looking where I want to go not at the board, and my feet land right over my stringer so Im not concerned with working on getting my feet centered on the board. I always also pop up with my weight forward in my neutral stance just like you guys teach here. I just really need help getting my foot on my tail immediately because theres not a lot of power coming from my waves and id still like to work on bottom turns, top turns, and cutbacks without constantly bogging my rails.

Hey guys!  Maybe a silly question- there's a lot of great content- but... how do I figure out where I should start and concentrate on?

Here's the board Clayton made for me. Tried it out for the first time today. Loved it! Can't wait to get to know it better. Dimensions 6'6", 21" x 2 3/4" 42ltrs. Thanks very much Clayton, I am so looking for to start Line 2. 

PS Turn around time? Felt quicker than I can make a ham sandwich.

Need to work on my feet at takeoff. They are flailing around all over the place (video linked). With the OB method, are just to my knees on the board? and the idea is to have the weight focused towards as back on the board as poss?

Also - while we are at it, my right/back knee is too outwards, ya?
