Hi Ombee friends,
With the front facing posture but feet needing to be angled somewhat sideways for balance, any thoughts on how to keep knees healthy & in proper alignment?

Hey all. I am 58 with an arthritic back, so it makes perfect sense to start skating! Jokes aside, I want to start giving it a go. I went to a local shop, and discovered that traditional surf skates have a pivoting front truck. I was thinking I was going to walk out of there with just a road cruiser, but the pivoting front truck through me off. They seem squirrely. Is this what I should purchase? The guy in the shop was saying, they are too squirly for the slightest of declines, and are NOT suited for ramps in parks either. Are Clayton and Anthony using skates with the pivoting front axle or more stable road cruisers? Any suggestions for Brands and dimensions are welcome as well. Thank you!
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
Hello! I am new here, and excited to be starting the OMBE programs! I am now based in South Brazil, and just starting to surf!
Yesterday I have been applying for the first time what I learned here, and it felt so much better!
The coffee cups, the sprint stance, all of that really made a big difference, even if I am still a beginner surfer.
I can understand better what I need to do to be more in control of my surfing and to have more fun and flow!
I am really enjoying the materials!! Thanks for everything!
With a slight smile ;)—and more important—a nod towards Clayton Mark Nienaber and the Ombe Surf team, I present to you the "Ombe changed my Life Documentary" real investigative surf journalism
Thanks to anyone who spends time watching this :) I hope it was able to make you smile a little https://www.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR3fX8MpUSUsJ1cCOQDNG13kUe15DwHoLvIlMkxNcCuqaaJN9aU2nRI5CjM&v=h4f7jNA4lHw&feature=youtu.be
Howzit guys, im heading to the Phillipines and Indo in a couple months, any surf tips for the trip?
Cheers, Jason
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.
Hi Folks,
I have a question I bough this skateboard Carve 540 Bird OXELO from Decathlon. I used the trucks that come with the board and mounted them on top of waterborne adapters see photos. I am not sure whether I overdid it. My goal is to emulate surfing as close as possible. However the adapters plus trucks provide almost too much motion range. Any advice is appreciated folks.
Best Regards

Hi guys,
I live in Adelaide and would love to go out surfing with some other like minded people. Still in the beginner leaning towards intermediate stage but would love the company :)
