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.
