Very impressive content that feels like it's tailor made for me - an intermediate surfer that wants to keep progressing. I've learned a lot from Clay, and enjoy watching the funny dynamics unfold in the online sessions. I also like the community aspect, and the insiders sessions. Joined for the content, am staying for the fun ;) For me it was a few aha moments listening to Clayton that made me a believer - pop-up (walk up/oreo biscuit) and new way of thinking about the upper body & lower body connection...

You can't read the label from inside the bottle. I got the 12-week OMBE program to teach my kids to surf and it has transformed the experience for the better.

The phylosophy is based on the 4 core elements of surfing : Ocean, Mind, Body and Equipment so you can work on and refine each area to improve your surfing. Clayton has an amazing wealth of knowledge as a world class coach. He uses a very different and fun approach with analogies to others sports and everyday life situations in funny ways which really simplifies things and makes them easy to understand. This helps break bad habits and makes you aware of the movements you are doing. They offer plenty of great land based drills for repetition and muscle memory so you can take it into the water without thinking too much giving you more confidence so you can focus on having fun. What I also like is that there is a focus on style which I hadn't found anywhere else, so it will make your surfing less ugly and more pleasing to watch. Ant is also very funny and entertaining he is the average surfer getting better everyday thanks to Clayton with OMBE and they really make a great team ! I love watching there lives. You can really feel the team is dedicated to help people around the world to surf better and have more fun in the water and they froth on other people's success. They created an awesome community where everybody helps each other out along there surfing journeys. So whatever level your at if you want to improve your surfing in any aspect this is worth it 100%. The best material I have come across.

If your serious about improving/progressing your surfing then this course is a must investment. Forget the new board for now, improve your skills so that you can buy the right board as your skill level increases. Team OMBE will get you there.

I started watching OMBE via the free lessons and the coaching methods were a revelation to me; I"m now a 12 Week Program person! I've had a few coaches over the years but for me, Clay's methodology is the one that really resonates with me. He's unpacked it and made surfing accessible to anyone who want's to learn and get better. As a yoga teacher, I understand how difficult it can be to desribe an experience. Clay certainly has the inner knowledge and wisdom of this sport and he so generously shares it with us. A big shout out to Ant as well. You and Clay together make me laugh and smile.

OMBE has been a great eye opener for me- I've learnt so much about the nuances of surfing! I had been surfing for over 10 years but have developed more skill and insight over the past 6 months than I had over my entire surfing career- thank you OMBE!

OMBE programs are incredible. The reason is that the programs have accelerated the understanding about surf knowledge and skill. Before I met OMBE, I had to gotten obscure technique through others surf. It was very difficult to figure out. However, OMBE programs have guided me simply and clearly. In fact, more I practice, more I figure out about surf. My understanding for surf has improved a lot. Then it is helping my surf to be enjoyable. I am so happy to meet OMBE and Clayton!! I really appreciate him and the OMBE programs.

As a late frustrated 40s man who got into surfing late in life, I recently signed up for the Accelerated Surfing Program, and I'm really impressed so far and purchased other programs . I cannot speak highly enough of OMBE, and specifically the 12-week Accelerated Surfer Program and surf psychology. Clayton's insight and format of the program really helped me clean my surfing up, Clayton and Anthy and OMBE countless tips and explanations that provided almost immediate improvement in my surfing. OMBE has hands down changed my surfing like nothing else has in the last 5 years. I wish I had had all this information when I started. Although I have had a lot of fun, my surfing stopped progressing years ago at an intermediate level. Over the last year I have noticed The land based drills are golden and has given me much more confidence as a surfer. If you want to progress your surfing and stop getting frustrated and start having fun, then OMBE is the way to go. Thanks so much to all the OMBE team!

Been watching ombe for 6 months now, as my surfing was plateauing as an intermediate surfer and was looking for a way to improve as trying to figure out issues mid wave was going nowhere. The way clayton breaks down movements resonated with me, and my understanding of how to surf and correct issues has been incredible. As I watch other surfers now can see the issues and find myself critiquing them, and understand why some surfers are surfing so much better than others. Signed up for the advanced surf program, now 7 weeks in and have notice great improvement in my surfing. Some of the drills seemed silly at first but now starting to click on the wave like cardboard slide, other day dropped in got on rail compressed and extended up wave and just felt the acceleration and released it now made sense. Taking the time to practice drills is key, rather than trying to get wave of the day and midline down the beach. Highly recommend ombe, Cheers Jason

The OMBE training is turning my surfing around. I am becoming more aware of everything, the environment, my body, what I’m thinking. Before I was like a bit of a lost puppy in the water, trying to grab waves and guessing what I should be doing. Now on week 4, I understand what I am to do, where to be, and am working towards being a far better surfer. When looking back at the tutorials I used to watch, most of them are surfing flat. There is still a way to go, but the OMBE programme has equipped me with the knowledge and skills that I have been trying to find for the last couple of years. I’ve had lessons elsewhere. They all seem to want to get you up to a green wave and then just let you go. The OMBE team are the only people I’ve found so far that want to develop you as a surfer, want you to succeed and will be with you every step of the way.

I was self taught starting out surfing but realized that there was so much to Surfing that I didn’t understand and couldn’t pickup by just watching my favorites. OMBE is helping me build a solid foundation for myself to build off of by explaining what I never knew. So much depth.

If you are looking for a surf coaching tool, OMBE is the right place for you. Even experienced surfers can learn a lot or improve their skills here. With simple explanations and a lot of background knowledge, it improved my surfing. Especially for landlocker surfers like me it is a enrichment for training on land. Also the water based training tips are amazing and improved my surfing step by step. The whole content is structured logically and makes you think about yourself and your own surfing again and again. From me all thumbs up.

I really love the quality and professionalism. Fun and great communication. Customer service is exceptional. Class act. Who said you couldn't teach an old salty sea dog new tricks! I can honestly say that since I have been using the OMBE program my surfing has significantly improved. I've been a surfer for around 40 years and I had to re-learn a few bad habits. Highly recommended.

OMBE is LIFE CHANGING! Simple as that. Incredible, in depth, and beautifully communicated content and instruction. I feel like part of a new family that is there to support me in my quest, to not only take up surfing, but become a competent surfer whilst turning 50 this year. I could not have done it without OMBE! Thank you!! Life changing from both a physical and mental health perspective. What are you waiting for??!!

Clayton has a great way of explaining things in a very relatable and memorable way. The really exciting part for me is to be able to find ways to practise technique when there or no waves or a can’t get to the beach. The program has helped me progress and is much better value than buying a new board in the hope that will fix any bad habits or make you surf better.

Having tried several surf coaches and programs, the guys at OMBE have nailed it! The programs are practical, in easy to understand lingo, and the land based training drills have helped take my surfing to another level. Thanks and keep up the great work!
