"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 world’s best surfers use, but its also about the various types of dry land training that I can now work on to get better when I’m 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..."

"Can’t 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."

"I have been surfing for a couple of years and had face to face lessons and now use OMBE as an insider member instead. I have developed further in the short time following the OMBE programs than I have with F2F lessons. OMBE also provide frequent feedback and group zoom feedback training tips to discuss all things surfing which is great to help with progressi..." Read more

"I am just half way through the 12 week program and so far I already learned a lot. My surfing has improved and I feel much more confident in the water. Lots of simple but fundamentals things and drills that also removed some confusion in surfing techniques I used to have. From catching more waves to find a correct stance. Clayton is fantastic at explaining..." Read more

"As a landlocked surfer, I have really felt the pain of a very slow progression in my surfing, and wanted to find a way to improve my technique while away from the water. Stumbled upon OMBE and enjoyed the 4-week free course so much that I decided to purchase the full 12-week program. I have learned a ton and now have dozens of land-based surf-specific trai..."

"The OMBE program has been transformational for my surfing. I have been beginner surfer for about 10 years with a handful of lessons and limited time surfing. OMBE has taught me how to learn how to surf at home and now when I get in the water I just have fun and surf. For the price of a beginner board you can buy a bosu ball, a surfskate, grab a piece of c..." 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
