Hey Rick

OMBE usually recommends the Carver surf skate with CX trucks.

I know they are a little more expensive but I had one as a Christmas present. Best present ever!

By the way, learning to skate in your 50’s is soooooo much fun. It really engages physically and mentally

Good luck

Clayton usually tells people to ‘stack their bones’ which takes the pressure off your muscles and joints.

If you post this question in the community app, you will probably get lots of responses

Hey Aleks

I would recommend that you post this in the community app - you are more likely to get a response on there.

I’m not able to get there for those sessions unfortunately

Ian Warren I hope that helps.

Any more questions, just ask (here or in the community app)

Ian Warren in the community app, there is a section for ‘events’. Once the zoom sessions (there are two - one for Europe time zones and one for USA time zones) are scheduled, they will be posted in there. Recently, an email has been sent out with all the info, including the link to submit footage, so keep an eye out for that. (It usually comes from Luke@ombe.co I think)

If you mark yourself as ‘going’ in the event section, it usually sends you a reminder notification that it’s starting about half an hour beforehand.

The training app is for, well, training! It like a catalogue of all the programs and previous zoom sessions in one place.

The community app is a place to ask questions and post footage if you are looking for general feedback from everyone. Say you are surfing today and you get film of it but you can’t wait until the zoom which is three weeks away - post it in the app. You will usually get responses pretty quickly and can get back out tomorrow and work on your surfing.

Hey Ian

Why don’t you send in some footage of yourself surfing to the next zoom session? That way, you’ll get a ton of feedback and can ask Clay any questions that you have.

From personal experience, it’s a worthwhile thing to do

Chris Genau this is the training app. There’s another one dedicated to community. It’s where people post their surfing videos for feedback and ask any questions (it’s a greenntile instead of a black one in the App Store).

Hey Jason,

I can’t help you with any tips for your trip but you might get some good feedback if you post in the memebrs community app (green tile). It has a lot more engagement than this section.

Have you checked out the communities section of the members app? There are groups there designed just for this

I’m posting this in the main app. It’s soooooooooo good
