Hey OMBE fam!! How’s your summer been? Have you been getting out? Practicing your drills? Are you progressing?

So amazing today. A sea world dolphin 🐬 show while patiently waiting for waves like 75 of us. A bit anxious due to the last fin to the head accident but went back out with the crowd with helmet this time. Worked on “ looking to go”. Doing better. Breached dolphins and flying in the air so spectacular. Grateful.

Iconic San Onofre fun. Crowded but 15 waves that day. Here is my handicap. KNEES since such a low energy no push from oreo to pop up ugh. Knees bad habit in small waves

Stock of OMBE boards at our Currumbin Hq suited to the 4 lines we surf.

Hi.
I've been surfing sporadically for years and guess I am a lower intermediate surfer according to the lines I take.
I am working on the oreo biscuit technique and I have two questions I can't seem to find the answers to:
1) can the technique be used on all kind of waves? I manage to use it on steeper "well-breaking" waves but on fatter and flatter waves I really struggle even when I'm right where they start breaking.
2) Does using the oreo eliminate the need for step up boards on bigger/faster waves? I often see that step-ups (with more foam under the chest) are recommended to get more paddle-power but if I don't need to paddle (much) to get waves that is not needed?

I’m struggling with catching waves on my backhand (I’m goofy foot), especially when it’s steep or dumpy. I’m fine on forehand in any conditions. Help!!

Maria Molè dm me on messenger.

Almost in Nicaragua. Yew!
Jet lagged but excited for the OMBE retreat !
