Jack and Alex were amazing. I felt like I learned more in an hour on the skateboard bowl with their coaching than a year in the water.
Mark Cooper
Great experience, wish I had booked a 3 day instead of just 1. I will return. Coaches were just brilliant so much positive energy.
Toby Beard
The OMBE team were excellent as always, providing coaching and advice in the bowl, helping me to fix my bad habits in the surf

Being a 42 yo myself, Jack from OMBE blew my mind with his capacity to get inside my head and clean it out. replacing it with a brand new vision for waves and how to interact with them. He answered questions I didn’t know I really wanted answers to. Epic 60 minute surf skate session. thank you Jack and OMBE I’m looking fwd to practicing this knowledge going fwd and sharing it with my children. Highly recommended for any surfer who wants to enjoy and appreciate surfing more!
Andrea Champoux
Great experience. Highly recommend!

It was amazing it really makes a huge improvement on your surfing with just one session. Thanks a lot and will start my classes soon ☺️
Shelly Lynch
I got some great tips that I’m already implementing and hope to see improvements in my surfing soon. The coaches were super helpful and broke the information down for easy remembering. I can’t wait to come back and have another go. Alex was great with helping me gain confidence and the bowl and Clayton came over at the end and showed me the value of keeping my arms up and a light bulb went off. Thanks heaps guys, I really appreciated the time I spent there.
Gav Smith
Mind blown. Was such a good session i came away with so much useful information and practical advice to better my surfing. I will definitely be heading back for more sessions in the bowl. Clayton also allowed my wife and kids a turn in the bowl too and gave them all some great feedback too.
Thanks again OMBE team

Timothy Steele
The whole team cares about your progress. They all chip in to help with tips and advice.

I came to OMBE because I was snapping my boards pretty regularly. In one session, Clayton identified the problem, told me how to fix it and then it was just a matter of me undoing years and years of repetition and muscle memory to change my bad habit.
Once I did that everything changed for me. I could surf faster, I don’t break boards like I used to. Pretty much every aspect of my surfing increased dramatically from my training with Clayton at OMBE. If you wish to progress as a surfer at any level, I cannot recommend this team highly enough.

Enjoying the OMBE videos after spending 2 days before Christmas with Clayton. So much to learn and rewire even though have been surfing for 47 years.

the best of the best. Seriously. OMBE changed my life better. I am learning so much every time, my surf improved a lot and now, I am a better coach thanks to OMBE.

I did a surf skate lesson with Alex and it was fantastic. It was my first time in a bowl, I learnt so much in 1 hour and had a lot of fun. It was so good that I decided to book another session, which was with Clayton this time and was awesome too! I live in Sydney and was only in Gold Coast for a few days and they managed to fit me in outside their normal operating days, which was amazing. Thank you!

The OMBE crew are terrific and their holistic approach to training is refreshing. I had been enjoying the insights in the online courses since not long after starting my surfing journey and found it helped my understanding of surfing immensely. When I saw a week long surf camp locally I jumped at the chance and WOW!!! that completely changed surfing for me.
The video analysis and dryland training worked wonders on picking up my trouble points and working on corrections. However, some of my biggest gains came through a deeper understanding of what I was trying to do with my body, on my board, in the ocean. At the end of the week I had a very clear understanding of what I wanted to work on to improve my surfing.
Thanks again to Clay and the crew!

I have been following OMBE on IG for some time. My son loves surfing and me too! He can ride both a long and a short board but is not well-practised on his Smooth Star ( Skateboard).
I could see that my son needed an intense session on both the skate board and in the water. I could also see that his surfing needed a tweak, some decent critiquing and instruction. He really needed to move his upper body more to free up into the movements he wanted to succeed with; turning sharper, body position, position on the wave, aiming for cut backs, floaters and his ambition was to read the wave more.
Well, all of this happened!
I booked my son (age 14) into two full day camps with Dru via the amazing Cath who was fasiciliating and oraginsiing things for us. He had a break in between sessions to think and get back out on a wave to practice more.
The level of instruction and interaction was amazing! My son felt like he was seen, that both Dru and Clay could see straight away what was holing him back and what to work with.
He found it so enjoyable and with easy instructions for his age, it has changed the way he surfs, has progressed his comprehension of his body position on every wave. but most importantly he said he felt that " Clay and Dru could see what he was apprehensive about, scared and how he approaches every wave and finishes it" .
In my sons words, " thanks mum for organising my sessions with OMBE, thank you Dru and Clay for teaching me, you guys helped my surfing heaps. I can't wait to see my surfing improve with me practising what you said. My favourite was the bowl because it really helped my arm technique and legs. I can't wait to come back in a couple of months to see whats next".

OMBE is simply the BEST surf training out there. I've scoured the internet and consumed pretty much everything surf training related - and OMBE is a very distant first place. Their ability to take such a complex sport and simplify it down to core concepts (ex: "coffee cup") is proof of that. I've watched their YouTube videos for years which has improved my surfing tremendously. Most importantly, it kept my knowledge ahead of my ability. I was able to self-assess and see everything I needed to work on. I think that's key to improving. Recently, I took it to the next level and participated in one of their new in-person OMBE Retreats on the Gold Coast. It was awesome. Before it was over I was already asking about the next one. Coming away from the retreat, I have learnings that I will be reflecting on for years to come. The OMBE team is a special group of humans and I can't recommend them enough. Thanks to Yoda & the whole OMBE family! Yeeeeeeewwwwwwww!!

OMBE is the real deal with such a broad coaching panel of experts that sincerely want the best for your surfing. You will walk away with tools and strategies to take back to the ocean and also in everyday life. I could not recommend OMBE highly enough.
Tim Kirkham
If you want to know what's wrong with your surfing and how to improve then do this course. Clayton and his team leave no stone unturned on and off the water to help you progress.
James Cousins
If you are wanting a comprehensive instruction and progression OMBE are really good. I have been a very casual surfer for a lot of years but decided to start putting more time in. When I was a kid there were no lesson so I was well overdue. These guys really give you the how, why, when and more importantly how to to enjoy surfing more. Very thorough technical explanations but with an emphasis on what you should feel and how to keep it simple. Video, skate surf bowl and dry land training exercises as well. These guys really know their stuff, make a positive learning environment and a fun group experience. I will totally do so more with them if I am lucky enough to get a chance.
