"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."

"The best surf training program ever. Clayton's knowledge and wisdom is off the charts. I've been surfing wrong for 20 years. At least now I can correct the next 20. I've had so many lightbulb moments. Surfing is starting to become easier, I'm taking off deeper and having a ton of fun. Deirdre"

After following the online basics program I managed to go from a 20% success rate to catch almost everything on small surfs in barely a week. I started having so much fun. I was focusing on the wrong th..." Read more

"Loving the revelations from this training, all of it is clear and makes perfect sense. Particularly like that it integrates some psychology into both the learning method and the mindset needed for surfing. Wish I had done it years ago! Thanks to the OMBE team for putting it all together."
