Wish this was around 15 years ago. Great coaching that’s presented in an easy to understand format. A month into it and already found a good half dozen areas where I’ve been using the wrong techniques. In many cases it’s a simple fix and just a matter of breaking out of the bad habits. Helped provide simple fixes to pop ups, paddling into waves, posture, stance as well as speed generation to name a few things! And it seems the community as well as the coaches on the ombe are all very willing to help. Very stoked to have stumbled onto this. Cheers.

These guys are awesome ..I have taken years of my journey of learning how to surf.. Online stuff is easy and logical explanations of step by step surfing tips.. I can be honest and say if I hadn't have been recommended to these guys i would have given up ..
thanks legends

Best app of its kind by far!

Just had a phenomenal retreat at Urbnsurf with Clay and the OMBE crew. This stuff is truly game-changing. Clay is a gifted and incredibly generous teacher who has very clever ways of helping you to understand what you need to do. The crew are also generous and supportive and have an infectious love of surfing. If you can possibly get yourself onto one of these retreats, do it. It is years of surf progression in one day.

Amazing insight, really useful analogies, top notch surf instruction. OMBE is the gold standard to compare all others, IMO.

So I bought the OMBE program after chewing up all their free videos, and I procrastinated because it was a chunk of change (2/3 of a new board!!). Anyway , best money I’ve spent on my surfing ever. It fixed my stance, improved my popup and takeoff, got me on rail more and smoothed out my surfing. The main thing is I’m doing sooo much land based drills to ingrain better habits so when I get in the water I’ve always got something to work on. In the immortal words of Mr. Meldrum : Do yourselves a favour . . .

Absolute game changer. I’ve progressed more in the past several months than the past several years. The highly relatable OMBE coaches manage to combine their personal surfing expertise and coaching skills with solid evidence based principles from surf science, psychology, neuroscience and physiology to create a clear, accessible and easy to follow program that addresses the scope of knowledge and skills needed to take your surfing to the next level. I’ve had so many breakthrough moments, quadrupled my wave count per session, improved my turns and pop ups, broken bad habits I didn’t even realise I had prior, and most importantly, I have more fun. I’d be blown away if you could find a better training program!

The breakdown of the lessons is great as I can work on one aspect at a time. Having a gameplan on what I am trying to do while surfing instead of lets just see how it goes today makes surfing more fun.

Hello my name is Simon C and I started surfing this year. I have a lot of board sports background but never surfing and it has been a steep learning curve. I was actively looking for a local surf coach to help me but wasn't feeling that confident in the people I met. Then I found OMBE on youtube. I watched a number of videos and they were really helpful. I then checked out their website a few times and after a month or so I actually signed up. At first I wasn't really sure if online learning was going to translate well to real life surfing and what I found was I couldn't have been more wrong. I actually wish I had found this months back when I first started. It would have made my progression way faster and my fun levels higher.
The way Clayton teaches is so different from everyone else iv seen and along with Ant the two of them are entertaining and informative.
I have learnt so much in just one week and it has changed my surfing drastically. Over time I can see this will improve way more.
The cost of the access to this wealth of knowledge and also access to the community is peanuts compared to the cost of getting an instructor in person. Plus I feel the quality of teaching is way higher than I have seen elsewhere also. There is so much that comes with this website subscription that I would be typing here for ages if I listed it all.
To summarize though, if you want to improve your surfing then I haven't found a better place than OMBE. Super stoked I found it. Thanks guys

Excellent Surf Program customized to your level of surfing that helps you develop your skills step by step - both on and off the water. Really enjoy it...

The best surf training program ever. Clayton's knowledge and wisdom is off the charts. I've been surfing wrong for 20 years. At least now I can correct the next 20. I've had so many lightbulb moments. Surfing is starting to become easier, I'm taking off deeper and having a ton of fun. Deirdre

Hi from San Diego, CA! OMBE's online surf course has been a game changer. I love that it's subscription based and I don't have to commit hundreds of dollars up front. The course is well laid out teaches the most critical information needed at each stage of surfing. I'm a beginner making my way into lower intermediate and am so excited to continue learning on their platform! I've progressed really fast and can't wait to keep getting better!

The best surf coaching ever! Breaks the technique down into simple terms and gives drills that you can do at home. Most importantly it tackles how you can overcome any fear or anxiety that might be holding you back.
I can’t speak highly enough of this product!

I started to follow the program and my live in the water has changed completely. I'm quite a beginner and I was struggling to catch and pop up consistently. After following the online basics program I managed to go from a 20% success rate to catch almost everything on small surfs in barely a week. I started having so much fun. I was focusing on the wrong things, and as soon as I applied 4, 5 of the key concepts of the program, everything changed. I can paddle a wave with barely 4 to 6 paddles by just being in the right place and applying the right technique. Which has given me the ability to stay in the water for much longer.
The surf science and explanation of how surfboards are built and why has helped me understand much better what I'm trying to achieve at the level I am at the moment. Not to mentioned that it is really interesting. I look at boards and waves with different eyes.
Thank you for putting together the comprehensive path. I am an engineer and they way things are presented to learn incrementally really aligns on how I learn.

Really good and systematic instruction!

Amazing surf school~! I learned so much from OMBE online courses, and I am still learning. Effortless surfing is my goal, and my style of surfing. Highly recommend this surf courses!

not been surfing very long, however I'm so glad I found OMBE! my progression is fast and streamlined. I'm almost on par with a friend who has been surfing for years, just by implementing the lessons and techniques (which are really easy to follow) each session.
One of my favourite things about OMBE are Clayton's analogies! simple, clear and always leave you guessing why didn't I think of it this way before!

Amazing programs that really helps to improve your surfing!

This online surf training and coaching platform is truely one of a kind... I learned so much that everytime I think back to the times a was in the water and had no clue what was going on... It allows the users to get a deeper understanding of what is going on, around you but also in your own head and body whilst surfing. I would absolutely recommend this OMBE method to absolutely everyone who wants to learn surfing with more ease and style.
A very psyched OMBE adapt who is progressing everyday
