"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

"After spending over 50 years surfing these programs have given me more concise, practical & useable tools than I thought possible- similar to my motorcycle training it has encouraged & safety guided through the minefield of overriding the minds desire to survive & instead shown a pathway to improvement & success 🏄🏽♂️🏆👍 well done guys."

"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

"So I bought the OMBE program after chewing up all their free videos, and I procrastinated because it was a chunk of change (2/3 of a new board!!). Anyway , best money I’ve spent on my surfing ever. It fixed my stance, improved my popup and takeoff, got me on rail more and smoothed out my surfing. The main thing is I’m doing sooo much land based drills to ing..." Read more

"The breakdown of the lessons is great as I can work on one aspect at a time. Having a gameplan on what I am trying to do while surfing instead of lets just see how it goes today makes surfing more fun."
