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!

Hey friends, I'm going up for a week holiday to the Gold Coast, 2nd week of the school holidays, which falls on the first week of October. We will be staying in Burleigh Heads, so I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a surf school up there? OR if there is someone that might like to meet up or any other suggestions. How can I make the most of being up there? I've never been there to surf ever. I think I'm a progressing beginner, but would like to get better at going down the line and things like that. Anyway I've google a few places, but  I'm after recommendations from someone who might know what's up there. TIA!

I have a 31.5L Dominator 2, 5'9 and find it great to duck dive and when up and riding. However I struggle to get onto waves unless overhead. I also have a Hypto Krpto 5'10 33.4L and this is hard to duck dive, easy to catch waves but a bit too much board and slow when riding. So I am looking at a:

  1. RNF96

  2. DHD Phoenix

  3. DHD Black Diamond

What do you reckon? Surf 1ft overhead and under, punchy

I took a leap and booked a place on the Nicaragua trip in 2024. Equal parts stoked and nervous. Who else is coming? Anyone from Melbourne?

Hello all, OMBE promotes the Oreo bitcuss method to take off so the wave can push the tail of the board forward.
Some short boarders prefer using their chest pushing the front of the board down while taking off. What is the good and bad of this method?

September is my favourite month in Scotland, good waves & warmer water

I took out my membership about a month ago and I haven’t seen much action for video analysis or workshops in August.

Does anyone know what’s happening in September?

I am really enjoying going back to basic fundamentals with the online training.

Looking forward to connecting in community & getting some feedback.

Thanks,
Sally

Hey all! I’m pretty new to this app. Does anyone know of the OMBE Community app still works or is this the only app that is currently active? I am having trouble signing into the OMBE community app, nothing I’ve clicked on works with my password and the magic sign in link from my email. Is there a tech person to contact about this? If we do have video footage, do we upload them here? Thank you!

Hey beautiful people! Got a great OMBE story to share with you all! 😉
Despite the fact that my regular board is under repaid, and the massive wind we had today, I decided to go surfing today! And I am so glad I did! Was the best breakthrough moment for me ! And it’s all because of OMBE ✌️
As I said my board is getting fixed so I used a shorter board which I got as a gift, fish board, 6’1, 35 litres. I usually surf a 7’4, 56 litres. So pretty big difference ! 🤪
As I walked on the beach to the surf spot I saw the surfers from the beach and I thought this could be me, I could be doing that too!
And guess what?! I managed to catch waves, stand up on the fish board and even felt the board going on rails for the first time !!! It was sooo amazing the feeling on carving the water on the board! Wow! I can see the potential! 🙂
My short board was going so fast, I could only pop up once today, I had to hard time coordinate all the movements with so little time and so much speed! 💨
So I just watched the board course which is absolutely fantastic! And I now know the fish Board really picks up on speed!🤯
Now I may want to get a mid length board, lighter and rounder to work my turns, so that I can get on rails 🚃!
I just found this board for sake at the local surf shop where I got my board fixed. It is a 7’0 board with 50 litres volume. Round tail. Round nose. Looks pretty good! It’s locally made so the shaper knows the local waves.
Any tips to help me decide if this is the right move? 🙏
Thanks for everything!

Hi!
I'm looking for someone, who could film my sessions at The Wave tomorrow (17.08) at 8AM and on 18.08 at 7AM. I know it's short notice, but maybe I'll have some luck ;-)

Paid job ofc!

Cheers,
Aleks
