Hi wanna get ur advice, this wave is pushed into by my local coach.
I should be kissing my knee more?
How exactly is the trimming timing? My shoulder fixed facing down the line? I look and point to the left to go up gain speed then look and point to the right to go go down, but down stay down too long else will be hit by the whitewater like me?
Clayton Nienaber saw a YouTube video on someone else's channel, Jade, where she comes out to Australia for your coaching.
Just wanted to say it was enjoyable watching it from the "person needing the coaching" perspective. Telling her she was un-coachable- after her 1st session made me LOL cause it's exactly what I would expect you to say based on all the OMBE/Surf lab stuff I've watched.
I think it's absolutely brilliant if you could get more people to do this. Ie people with a youtube channel or social media following that can come out and get coached by you. And have them post it for everyone to see.
That is all. Keep up the great work.
After couple weeks surfing, finally get some videos, any suggestions for what i should improve at the moment? Thanks a lot!
Hello! I’d like to introduce myself to the OMBE community. My name is Sarah. I live/surf in Newfoundland, Canada. I started my surfing journey when I turned 40 a few years ago. I love the ocean and being in it, on it, and around it. I’d say I’m not exactly a beginner, but definitely not intermediate yet. I do surf here when I can but I’d say the majority of my surfing improves while I travel. I joined OMBE just yesterday and I do feel like I’m probably in the right place! I’m looking forward to learning, getting to know people, maybe some in person meet ups, and catching waves!!! Hope everyone is having a great day!
Posting a clip from last April and one from today. Same spot, same board, and very similar rides. Not my best turn today, but was curious to compare it to the one from April because the lines and turn were so similar.
I feel like I at least got slightly more on rail on the turn from today versus last April. Still tend to trim along the bottom of the wave rather than pumping top to bottom, but honestly still feels fun.
One thing that happens a lot is my hands tend to go over my head as I am dropping back down the wave. Not sure what is causing that.
Just wondering will tutorial about floater be made in the program? Seems like floater is an important skill for intermediate or early advance to link up and ride a longer section?
East Wittering has been looking fun recently. You been in Graham Marsden ?
I am a relative beginner at surfing but have been making slow steady progress over the last 6 months.
Bosu training has been really useful, and I am thinking of adding surf skating to it.
I want a beginner set-up, as context I am 6ft1 and about 80kg, used to skate a bit when I was younger but it's now 30 years in the past so I'm basically starting from scratch. I am in the UK.
Would a board as in the link here be suitable for me?

What features should I look for / avoid as a beginner? I saw a general article on this, but would really appreciate any specific advice.
Thanks!
Shitty run of surf so am trying out some park turns.
2nd attempt so looking to what I feel I need to work on. I’m wondering if my tailing arm needs to wrap around at the top more so I’m opening my shoulders on re-entry? I’ve tried to reduce my arch but man that’s tight and bail everytime.
Ho hum ☹️
Following my previous account suspension on Facebook, they have now, in their infinite wisdom (or because of an arbitrary and capricious "AI" system, more like), decided that my account was somehow (but they won't tell me how) "in violation of their Community Standards" and disabled it completely with no way to appeal 😡
I'm trying to find a way back on there again, but, until that happens, I won't be able to Admin the Surf Hacks FB Group.
This is a total pain in the proverbials, but I'll get it sorted as soon as I can 🤞
