Hi everyone! 👋🌊

I’m hoping someone in the OMBE community might be able to help me with a few questions regarding my OMBE Lifetime Membership, the OMBE app, and the upcoming 2027 Mentawai retreats.

I’ve tried contacting OMBE by email a few times, but unfortunately haven’t received a response, so I thought I’d ask the community in case anyone has experienced the same issues or has some information to share.

1. The OMBE Method

When I try to access The OMBE Method content (Trim Lines, High Lines, Turn Lines and Vertical Lines), I get a message saying that I don’t have access and inviting me to purchase a membership.

As a Lifetime Member, I was expecting to have access to this content. Has anyone else experienced this, or knows how to resolve it?

2. Monthly Challenges

I also can’t seem to find the Monthly Challenge content within the app. Could someone point me in the right direction?

3. 2027 Mentawai Retreats

I submitted the waitlist form for the upcoming 2027 Mentawai retreats on 3 July 2026, but I didn’t receive any confirmation after submitting it.

I’d therefore really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience:

Has anyone else submitted the 2027 Mentawai retreat waitlist form and received a confirmation email?

Has anyone received any further information about the 2027 Mentawai retreats, such as possible dates, availability, or when more details are expected?

I’m based in Portugal, so having some information in advance would really help me plan flights and time off work.

I’d really appreciate any help or guidance from the community. 🙏

Thanks so much, and wishing everyone plenty of good waves! 🤞🏄‍♂️🌊

Also want to post my backside surfkate turns.

Lmk what I can improve on! Thanks

Would love some feedback on my forehand carver surf skate turns. Where can I improve and what else can I try? Thanks.

I'm going to be at Croyde Bay in North Devon from the 14th to the 24th of August, so if anyone is interested in meeting up at some point, please get in touch 👍

Stoked to say it clicked finally.

Went out this morning for my first proper surf in what feels like forever. The wave here are always sub par so went into it with no expectations, just wanted to get in the water and ride a real board (Firewire Revo max 6'9" twin-fin midlength) instead of the usual foamie on family beach day.

Third wave of the day and the extension and compression just started happening. I can't even honestly say I was trying to do it, it just felt like it was happening naturally and was so easy. Even tried bashing a turn into the close out section cause it just felt right. The sun broke through the clouds just as it was all happening, like the surf gods were smiling down on me.

Because of the terrible typical surf conditions here in Myrtle Beach, SC. I've honestly only been skating the bowl everyday for weeks. Till that extension and compression also became so natural. And today in the water that carried over. The wave slowed down. It felt stylish, though I doubt it looked as good as it felt to me, but it opened up my day into trying actual turns and cutback attempts for the first real time ever.

Unfortunately the surfline cam stares into the sun that time of the morning so no decent clip to share but im stoked. The midlength really helped slow me down I think, I'll be sticking with that till I progress more.

Just super stoked.... wanted to share.... yeeewwww

Hi team! Just went to the wave in Bristol and looking for any pointers to take my surfing to the next level. Thanks :)

Be injured a while from surfing, finally getting back, any tips for the top turn? Or actually i should do a deeper bottom turn to reach more the lips?

Hi, I think my problem is that I surf to low in the wave and don’t go to the top sufficiently; any suggestion to improve doing it? Thanks
