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!

Hi, I have been following the intermediate course and the skateboard videos so far. The surf footage is from a surf pool in Rotterdam, the beginner wave. I have been trying to go back to the pocket after the pop up. On the skateboard I have been trying to wiggle less and compress/extend more.

I know there is a lot to improve that’s why I am posting it.

I would be grateful for tips I should immediately focus on, or mistakes I should try to avoid!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the Ombe community and would really appreciate some general feedback on my surfing. I feel like I need to work on compressing and extending more, holding my turns longer, and staying on rail — but I’m not quite sure what to prioritise. This was filmed at the intermediate point setting in the new wave pool in Munich.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers, Nico

Apparently I now qualify for an Over 60s Bus Pass in the UK!

Can you take surf boards on buses...? 😁

Has anyone got experience of these new settings? If so what are your thoughts? Is it still 50% off for same day surfs ?

First video post. I would appreciate a tip to utilize more of the wave. I feel slow to generate speed, and missed the turn opportunity once passing the person dropping in. OBME has helped me alot so far, hoping to be ripping at my full potential by hurricane season this fall. Thank you in advance, John from Point Pleasant NJ USA.
