"Jack and Alex were amazing. I felt like I learned more in an hour on the skateboard bowl with their coaching than a year in the water."

"I got some great tips that I’m already implementing and hope to see improvements in my surfing soon. The coaches were super helpful and broke the information down for easy remembering. I can’t wait to come back and have another go. Alex was great with helping me gain confidence and the bowl and Clayton came over at the end and showed me the value of keepi..." 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

"OMBE Surf Training is a fabulous program, I wish it had been available 60 years ago when I started surfing. After an absence from surfboard riding, OMBE has already given me confidence that even at my age I can reach intermediate level again. If you are determined and dedicated the OMBE coaching and drills can take to whatever level you want to achieve. In..." Read more
