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!

Are there any OMBE courses for long boarders who don’t want to move to a short board?

I have a permanent back injury so small surf is all my body can handle so my goals are to improve my surfing skills on a long board.

Is there a video discussing angling the take off along with Oreo biscuit? Feels like the Oreo wants to be pointed straight to the beach

Anyone struggling with making the transition from simply gliding across the face of the wave to going straight down the wave to set up for bottom turns?  I feel like I'm going back to my beginner days by going straight down.  Any advice on how to make this transition?  Should I still be angling my takeoffs and look for sections to drop and try bottom turns or initiate bottom turns with all waves?  I don't see any videos about this specifically.  Thanks in advance!

Was so stoked I wanted to share. My 7 year olds first proper wave. Forgive the overly excited Dad yell... honestly it was enough to bring me to tears. My 9 year old, that didn't want to do Surf Camp got a couple bombs as well.

Hoped they get hooked for life and give me 2 permanent surf buddies. Is it too soon to order them a couple of Grom Sci-fi boards?
