"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

"The OMBE crew are terrific and their holistic approach to training is refreshing. I had been enjoying the insights in the online courses since not long after starting my surfing journey and found it helped my understanding of surfing immensely. When I saw a week long surf camp locally I jumped at the chance and WOW!!! that completely changed surfing for me...." 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

When I was a kid there were no lesson so I was well overdue. These guys really give you the how, why, when and more importantly how to to enjoy surfing more. Very thorough technica..." 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

"OMBE has not only transformed my surfing but has also helped me so much as person. I had kill my ego and peel back years of bad habits. The 12 week course has taken me over a year due to reverting back to old habits. It is finally sinking in and become my new norm. If you're 30+ and tired of being a kook OMBE will sort you out. The stoke is through the roof!..." Read more

"Wish this was around 15 years ago. Great coaching that’s presented in an easy to understand format. A month into it and already found a good half dozen areas where I’ve been using the wrong techniques. In many cases it’s a simple fix and just a matter of breaking out of the bad habits. Helped provide simple fixes to pop ups, paddling into waves, posture, sta..." 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
