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 legends!
I'm pretty new to surfing, only about 10 months. I started on a minimal and have since gone down to a 6'2". It's one of Hayden Cox's Atelier performance cruisers. Pretty wide and lots of volume (45L). I love it a lot, it was a great board to move on to.

I'm now trying to work my bottom turns and cutbacks and getting more on rail. For a while I thought the board was stopping me but then I managed to do it a few times (although I'm sure it didn't look as great as it felt), so I reckoned it wasn't so much the board and I just needed to work more on the technique.
But I do feel like I can't quite get it all the time, especially if the wave is fast doesn't have a nice big face to do that drawn out turn.
So my question to the group is, do I need to move on to a more responsive board?
And, any thoughts on what direction to take with that board choice?
I'm 180cm, 75kg, realistically low intermediate but looking to get to that higher intermediate level. I surf at Queenscliff and Bondi beaches in Sydney (my wave knowledge is pretty limited, but I hope that helps with the types of waves I'm surfing).
Or am I being impatient and should just keep trying with my current board?
Really loving the programs, and can see massive improvements within just a couple of weeks of using the OMBE method.
Really appreciate any help! Cheers

Is all of the latest Ombe material in latest releases section of the app? Or if not, what is the best way to see what is new? Thanks guys.

Hey everyone! Wondering if there’s any OMBE people in the New England area? Would love to link up if so. This has been an amazing program so far. I’m an advanced long boarder but intermediate short boarder and the program has helped so much with all aspects of my surfing.
