Exciting Changes Ahead! 🌊We’ve restructured our footage review process to make it more beneficial for everyone. While live sessions will be on pause as we adapt to new dynamics with our two candidates, we’re thrilled to announce a fresh approach: your submissions will now be reviewed and shared here in the community!Here’s why we’re embracing this new method:✔️More Engagement: Posting reviews here encourages interaction and brings our quieter members into the conversation. Lives were limiting, as only those free at the time could participate.✔️Flexibility for Clay: With a packed schedule of retreats next year, this setup allows Clay to review submissions remotely during his downtime—ensuring faster and more consistent feedback.✔️Easier Access: Every review and takeaway will be visible to everyone, making it simpler to learn and improve without sifting through past live sessions.✔️Focused Feedback: This organized system will help you concentrate on specific areas to improve.🔔 A few reminders: • Submit one video at a time to give everyone a fair chance for feedback. • Avoid submitting distant or surf-cam footage—Clay needs clear visuals to provide effective, actionable advice.We can’t thank you enough for your support, patience, and understanding as we work through these changes together. Your willingness to adapt and grow with us means the world, and we’re so appreciative of this amazing community. 🙏P.S. I’ve added a Google sheet in the comments for tracking your submissions. If you’d like your older footage skipped, simply select “Y” in column F. This will indicate you’re uploading newer training footage. If you select “N,” Clay will proceed with reviewing your current submission. Let us know if you have any questions!

Recently I made (well, didn't make) a takeoff on a heavy wave. The wave was not even head high but had a lot of power on a shallow bank. One of my quad fins went through my calf muscle to the bone.

I should have stuck to my single fins lol.

Anyway, I've since put those proteck fins in that board. They're hard plastic with a soft rubbery edge. They perform well enough for me.

Thought I'd post this as a reminder to remember to take the edge off sharp fins, beware of your fins when falling, and consider safer fins as an option.

Hi everyone! 👋

I have a couple of questions regarding my OMBE Lifetime Membership and was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issues.

When I try to watch The OMBE Method content (Trim Lines, High Lines, Turn Lines, and Vertical Lines), I get a message saying 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? If so, how did you resolve it?

Where can I find the Monthly Challenge content within the app? I can’t seem to locate it.

I’d really appreciate any advice or guidance from the community. Thanks in advance! 🙏🌊

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

This is me at progressive turn rights.

I struggle a bit on my backside and really struggled to capture speed on this session.

My feeling is that I’m surfing too flat and thats slowing it down but I dont know how to keep things on rail for such a weak and small wave.

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

I am sidelined for a bit with a broken toe (non-surfing injury), so I've been taking some video of my friend surfing using my phone.

Really has reinforced how the body automatically wants to follow the eyes. Every single time I looked up to actually see him in the water rather than through the phone screen, the phone tilted up and I was filming the sky.

Really hoping my board will follow my gaze the same way when I look back at the foam on a cutback once I am back in the water!

Going to wait till my follow up dr appt. before I try surfing, but anyone have experience with getting back to surfing after recovering from a broken toe? Assuming it won't make much difference as long as I don't rush back into it before it fully heals.

Hey OMBE heads,

Ive stiched two videos together here on intermediate lefts at URBNSURF Sydney

The first clip I thought looked nice and the second was less nice.

Trying to figure out why I couldnt get any speed/flow going on the second and what i should do to keep looking nice.

Thanks 🙌

I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism on this video from my surf on Sunday.

One thing I've already noticed is that I need to drive further up the face of the wave after my bottom my bottom turn, but I'd love to hear what else stands out to you and what you think I should focus on for my next few sessions.

Also, I'm working my way through OMBE at the moment. Based on where my surfing is currently at, are there any specific OMBE programmes or modules you'd recommend I focus on?

Thanks a lot!
