A few of us in the community decided we need a study group so we are creating the OMBE 6 Week Beginner Focus Group. We're kicking it off on May 26, over at OMBE INSIDERS. All Insiders are welcome. Look for the first post, depending on your time zone, between this Saturday night and Monday. We'll go week by week and immerse ourselves in magnificent OMBE theory, practice our land drills and then post our drill videos and discuss with one another. All you have to do is show up (digitally that is). We hope to make this fun for everyone and an amazing learning experience between our community. We're excited, we hope you are too! Please share with your OMBE friends. The 12 Week Intermediate Path starts right after we finish the Beginner Program. Roxy Susanne Gunther Dee Pnak Coryn Daniel @LibbyStano Graham Marsden

This is in the Surf Smart-Intermediate Pathway. May be ahead of where you are but it’s S1. Fun things ahead 🤣

I definitely want to see!! 🛹👏

That’s awesome, I’d love to see it. It’s definitely a bit gnarly at first, on a skateboard. The water doesn’t hurt nearly as much. I’ll have to dig out my videos of that, too.

A spreadsheet of weekly drills to practice and add to baseline land drills such as the walk up, short board walk ups, cardboard slider, duck dives on bosu, the ever challenging walk up on bosu!!

I can get started on that right away and share the file with you and Roxy to help organize it and then organize the weekly practice drills posts.

I know for me, my learning style is immersion so I love this idea of being all in. Roxy Susanne Gunther said she is in. 😀

It is very confusing. What’s the benefit to posting on OMBE Insiders vs OMBE Community?

This session went a bit better for you? A little more familiarity with the wave?

Wow, do I understand your pain!! I just took this video two minutes ago right from my balcony

It is disheartening for sure, at times. I’m sorry you’re disappointed.

I am in a similar situation as you. I haven’t surfed in about five years, just started again March. I had a hip replacement and after all of that and the healing time, the muscles in my upper thigh still cannot support my weight alone in a bent position. So it’s definitely a struggle but I do see I am getting stronger and wiser every dey by doing my PR and OMBE land drills. Chin up, it’ll get better. 😀🙏

Can you play in the whitewater, Roxy?

We have sloppy, wind blown beach break going on here. 👀

So, I’m wondering, Roxy Susanne Gunther Libby Stanos, Dee Pnak Coryn Daniel and anyone else who’d like to participate, if they’d be interested in going week by week through the program where we are working on the same thing, then posting it here where we can give each other feedback. Like a study group. So, while I moved on from my 6 week beginner, I’d be ok with starting the 6 week beginner land training drills over.

This is not by any means a replacement for the monthly video feedback but to progress in our land drills and provide a bit of structured support.
