"Awesome coaching! I have been surfing 6 years with very small progression. After, few hours of learning OMBE method(Ocean, Mind, Body, Equipment) suring feels more natural and fun! Thanks coaches!"

"I've been a surfer for 20+ years and the OMBE method is teaching me so many things I never figured out through my own trial and error. It's an amazing program to learn how to surf very well or to fix bad habits. As for me, I'm in the process of both learning new things and undoing bad habits! Absolutely loving the process!!"

"Many thanks for all the contents👍🏻 With this method you understand theory and really improve thanks to the land-based training that you can transfer to your surfing! I purchased the 12 week program and find it much more complete and rewarding than any other surf coaching I did with surf schools. I really like the approach Well done OMBE!"

"Outstanding content. I’ve learnt more in two months of following the OMBE 12 week program than I did in four years of surfing previously. Check out all the free content on YouTube and especially via the OMBE App and the paid programs build off the top of that."

"Should have done it years ago. I have recently signed up for the 12 week program and loving the content provided. I’ve been an intermediate surfer for over 20 years now. I started in my late 20s without ever really having been taught how to surf. Just by watching mates and pouring over magazines (it was the 80s) was the way we learned. I realised that I rea..."

"I was recommended to OMBE by a friend whose surfing was dramatically improving. It was a solid investment for an online course, but within two weeks I already felt I'd received great value from the programme and can easily see how my surfing can progress from being an intermediate to someone who throws buckets!! Cheers, Clayton and the OMBE team"

"I found out about OMBE in 2021 & thought that I would give it a try because I was new to the sport of surfing and still finding my feet. I knew that it would be difficult to get to the beach with restrictions/lockdowns. But within this search/company I have been fortunate to have found a group of great mentors. There is a constant flow of information across..." Read more

"Absolute game changer and genius! I've lost count of the number of breakthrough moments I've had since starting the program, where I'm just thinking "No ways, that did not just happen". When you really get something, the feeling is unreal! And unforgettable. My surfing has improved more in the last couple months than since I began learning a few years ago, a..." Read more

"The 12 weeks program has helped me more than any real time surf coaching that I took til now. The explanations are well structured , they make sense in a mind blowing way and they cover all aspects of surfing. As a landlocked surfer I started to feel a tremendous progress the first time I went surfing after 4 weeks in the program. It's not cheap but worth ev..." Read more

"I have been surfing for over 36 years, but am always looking to improve. After trying many different online surf programs, OMBE is the best, incorporating theory, surf psychology, video analysis, land drills (using bosu balls, cardboard, and surf skates), and water drills. I’m addition to training videos, they host special Zoom coaching sessions and a couple..." Read more
