Replied on North shore Oahu. Hoping for a little...

Sep 23 at 02:34 PM

Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday this week are looking decent. I get what I get. Trip has been planned for over a year so hard to predict conditions, BUT I took the wife and kiddos to all the tourist stuff already. My last duty as a husband is the photo session the wife wants Monday sunset, that means Tuesday through Saturday are mine to surf. Yeeeewwww.

Y'alls oreos must be different than ones here in the states. Our cream does not squeeze anywhere. But they name is catchy so it's whatever. The sloppy Joe or tube of toothpaste just isn't as catchy.

Maria Molè it's apparently been in the works for a while. But a few months ago they got final approval so hopefully soon.

Maria Molè that seems insane for a membership and fees. For 15k a year I'd just take a nice vacation to Hawaii.

I'm from NJ originally, South NJ, like Atlantic City and Ocean city, we're my go to surf spots. Now I live in Myrtle. The water is warmer, haven't even worn my 4/3 since being here.

We do get less waves than NJ, but I just drive an hour north to Wrightsville Beach for decent swell. If it's really going to be good, I can also hit up the outer banks in NC, if I'm lucky enough for the swell to be on a weekend.

Myrtle beach is getting a surfworks pool supposedly in 2026. It's less than a 2 hour flight from NY. And even in winter here a 3/2 wetsuit would probably be enough. Also it is less than a 10 min drive from myrtle beach Airport to where the park will be. I've already got a cone holding my spot in line to be the first to sign up for the lifetime membership.

Short video of me doing my daily morning bowl ride. I know the angle is horrible, unfortunately at that time in morning no one available to film me. I am going to try to get a better video for next month's live reviews, if I can get my wife to video me. It is a relatively small bowl with a decent hip on one side, just working on my stacking and compression/extension.
Criticism welcome. Thanks in advance... yeeewwww.

Caught some decent sized hurricane swell in Wrightsville Beach today on a brand new Machado Cado at 38L... big step down for me. Smallest volume I've ever ridden, caught a decent number of waves in a 3 hr session, definitely improving. Don't surf as often as I would like due to lack of waves in myrtle beach area most times, but I've been surf skating the local bowl at least 10-15 mins a day between dropping my kids off at school and being at work myself. The lessons and program and the surf skating tutorials are helping make me that small % better every time I go out. For sure need to work on my paddle endurance and low back endurance though... 3 hrs is gonna have my old man bones aching tomorrow. Today was a good day... Passing on the stoke... thanks for all that you guys do if it can help me it can help anyone. Yeeewwwwww!

Possible future OMBE Surf training in America?!?
Just found out Myrtle Beach, South Carolina will be building a wave park by 2026, if I recall the news story correctly. It will be less than 5 miles from my house. We also have a small bowl to skate at the local skate park.
Clayton, if you ever wanna expand some surf training to the US.... and this park ever ACTUALLY gets built. I would LOVE to be the first student to sign up. Brah...you could even crash in my spare room if need be and if you can deal with my crazy kids yelling all day.
Myrtle beach doesn't typically get good ocean waves outside a few during the hurricane months (Aug-Nov). But a surf park would make that a non-issue. And I've already been preaching the OMBE method at the local skatepark and bowl to some of the local boys.
Think about it bro..... you got plenty of time to work out the details.
Let me know....LOL
