"I am a landlocked surfer from Germany, so training on land to maximize the fun and progress during my limited time in the water is key. I had so many lightbulb moments watching the videos from Clayton it is insane. You can really feel a big difference when you try the techniques he teaches on a Bosu or Surf Skate! I can't wait to hit the water in the Canary..." Read more

"Always looking to improve my surfing and this here is the real deal! Tried a few different surf related online content platforms and almost passed on this one as it seemed a bit more expensive. But in reality there is just so much more high quality content and these guys have put together the A-team of surf coaches to cover every technical and psychological..." Read more

"I've been learning how to surf from your online surf program with my mum and I love it. I really like the Bosu Ball balance practise and the unique cardboard slide concept. And I can also ride a carver skate board properly now."

"I have been coached for many sports as a kids and an adult, swimming, tennis, ballet, highland dancing, flute, piano, horse riding, golf and probably a few other things... and Amazi is the most rewarding coaching out of all those experiences. Thanks to everyone at Amanzi. Best $$$ value ever."

"Learning to surf is stressful. Battling through white water to get out, fighting currents to stay in place, identifying your status in the lineup and having to deal with the alphas, paddling into a looming set-all are just precursors to catching the wave. Then tunnel vision compresses your view, paddling blindly into a wave, feeling it smash behind you, stru..." Read more

"Clayton is a brilliant surfing coach, he has a unique ability to explain to just about anyone what they need to do to improve their surfing. He takes complex movements and breaks them down into simple easy to follow improvement methods...I can only guess that this comes from many years of deep thinking and practical experience. Working with Clayton I and m..." Read more

"I came to OMBE because I was snapping my boards pretty regularly. In one session, Clayton identified the problem, told me how to fix it and then it was just a matter of me undoing years and years of repetition and muscle memory to change my bad habit. Once I did that everything changed for me. I could surf faster, I don’t break boards like I used to. Pretty..." Read more

"I did a surf skate lesson with Alex and it was fantastic. It was my first time in a bowl, I learnt so much in 1 hour and had a lot of fun. It was so good that I decided to book another session, which was with Clayton this time and was awesome too! I live in Sydney and was only in Gold Coast for a few days and they managed to fit me in outside their normal op..." Read more

"I have been following OMBE on IG for some time. My son loves surfing and me too! He can ride both a long and a short board but is not well-practised on his Smooth Star ( Skateboard). I could see that my son needed an intense session on both the skate board and in the water. I could also see that his surfing needed a tweak, some decent critiquing and instruct..." Read more

"OMBE is simply the BEST surf training out there. I've scoured the internet and consumed pretty much everything surf training related - and OMBE is a very distant first place. Their ability to take such a complex sport and simplify it down to core concepts (ex: "coffee cup") is proof of that. I've watched their YouTube videos for years which has improved my s..." Read more
