Hi !
After finally moving closed to the ocean, I progressed a lot since then but I feel like I struggled to fix some of my mistakes and it leads to a lot of frustration 😅
I struggled to be right at the peak, often too much inside or to much backward.. When I'm well placed, often I take off to late and I'm behind the section, I never really surfed down the line and this is really frustrating 🥲
I tried the Oreo biscuit technics and it worked well on couple waves but sometimes I do it too early
If you have some tips 🙏🏼
Maybe my board is too demanding for my low intermediate level, it's a 6'7 and I'm 6'4 and 83 kilos what's your thoughts ?

Following Nicaragua Session 2 I'm heading north to:
EL Cuco, El Salvador from 4/27 - 5/2
El Zonte, El Salvador 5/2 - 5/7
Sipacate, Guatemala 5/7 - 5/12
Puerto Escondido, Mexico 5/12 - 5/16
Sayulita, Mexico 5/16 - 5/20
If any OMBE members are in the general vicinity hit me up - I'd love to 🏄‍♀️ with you.

Hello. It says I have to pay to watch the april feedback session. Also it said I had to pay to join. How do I watch it please? I paid for lifetime

Thanks

I'm interested in getting a board shaped by Clay. Is https://www.claytonsurf.com/ the best place to get started with with?

Had a Puncture in the bosu. Have repaired it with this vinyl repair kit. You need a vinyl specific repair kit for vinyl because most glues won’t work due to the oil used in vinyl products.

Pass the coffee y’all

Hi all, Any thoughts on the best surf forecast online for East Anglia (UK)? I used to use Magic Seaweed and it was pretty good, but when it moved over to Surfline the forecast never seems to be that close to actual conditions.

Just came across this on the Basics podcast… not had time to watch it yet ( up for a dawn surf tomorrow) but I’m sure it will be good. Clayton Nienaber of Ombe Surf : Understanding, speed, power, and flow.

Just curious if anyone that has been bowl/ramp skating with their Cx or C5 trucks has switched to riding regular skateboard trucks like Indys or the like.
I've been enjoying my transition skating so much as I've become more comfortable with it but have a new found desire to try some normal skateboarding tricks like Ollie's, maybe grinding a few rails and just utilizing the features of my local park more every time I go.
Recently switched my deck from the Carver Quill, with a 17" wheelbase, to an Andy Anderson Heron deck with my C5s trucks. But the Heron deck does have a 2" shorter wheelbase, which is made even shorter with the reverse kingpin of the C5 front truck.
So now I'm considering throwing some Indy trucks on that to widen that out to the 15" wheelbase the Heron deck has. Was wondering if anyone has switched to standard skateboard trucks and how that compares to the C5s or CX trucks, since we are all probably skating to improve our surfing.
Any thoughts or experiences are welcome as I've never really ridden a normal skateboard truck.
Also for anyone trying out new wheels on their surfskate. The powell peralta dragon wheels are mindblowing amazing. Highly recommend! I don't think I'll ever skate a different wheel after trying these.
