"Looking at the cost you may think what do I get for the money? The amount of content you have to digest and learn is phenomenal! I have learnt so much from enrolling on this course. Starting back at the basics it totally transformed my surfing. With plenty of drills to learn on land and in the water! The course costs less than a second hand board and by do..." Read more

"Super stoked with the Accelerated Program. Being able to go back and focus on different aspects for an extra week or two has been great. Lots of easy to take in content, have found the land based drills on a rotation. The zoom check ins and regular feedback on posted content is awesome."

"As a late 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. I've viewed videos from other sources, but this stuff is next level. ASP is a deeper-level, more "nuts and bolts" type of program that covers things that good surfers are doing but, for whatever reason, is rarely t..." Read more

"Fantastic course. My surfing has improved quickly in a couple of months and that is without spending a focused period of time in the water! As a surfer living on the east coast of Scotland swells can be hit or miss with long periods of it being flat. The combination of water and land based drills means that you always having something to work on and develop..." Read more

"I'm in the UK and 2 hours away from the nearest surf. The 12 week course, especially the theory and land based drills are a stunning way to not only sustain, but improve my skills when I can't get to the surf. I am progressing well with only 1-2 sessions a month in the water. Can't recommend this course enough."

"As a 60+ year old trying to re-become a surfer, this training program has been fantastic! It has not only taught me about (finally) understanding the body positions that the worldās best surfers use, but its also about the various types of dry land training that I can now work on to get better when Iām not in the water. If you want to get better, and if you..." Read more

"I started surfing late in life (35) after finally moving to a coastal town a dream come true eventually. I got really involved in kitesurfing and SUP surfing but couldn't get surfing right, I mean how hard is it, you paddle in and pop up, my interest waned. Anyway 2 years ago I decided I'm only going to focus on surfing the route of all watersports, after ab..." Read more

"Great Course! I am 47 & only just started surfing. I have been land locked for about 95% of the time since I started my surfing journey but that hasn't been a problem as OMBE have plenty of practical training for you that doesn't require you to be at the beach, in fact the first time I attempted to surf I was up and riding & I'm 100% sure it's because of the..."

"Canāt believe how much my skills have progressed since I came across OMBE and enrolled in the 4 and then 12 week programs. Enjoying more stoke in and out of the water as my surfskate, wave selection, bodysurfing and posture improvements all add to a more enjoyable surfing experience."
