"The OMBE training is turning my surfing around. I am becoming more aware of everything, the environment, my body, what I’m thinking. Before I was like a bit of a lost puppy in the water, trying to grab waves and guessing what I should be doing. Now on week 4, I understand what I am to do, where to be, and am working towards being a far better surfer. When lo..." Read more

"I was self taught starting out surfing but realized that there was so much to Surfing that I didn’t understand and couldn’t pickup by just watching my favorites. OMBE is helping me build a solid foundation for myself to build off of by explaining what I never knew. So much depth."

With simple explanations and a lot of background knowledge, it improved my surfing. Especially for landlocker surfers like me it is a enrichment for training on land. Also the water based training tips are amazi..." Read more

"I started surfing later in life (in my 30s). I have been fortunate enough to have taken lessons all over the world (US, Nicaragua, Indonesia, Barbados, Costa Rica, Hawaii, etc.) While all of my instruction has been great, NOTHING has compared to what I have learned from the Ombe program. Having been filmed in the past, I now wonder why so many of my mistakes..." Read more

"Clayton has a great way of explaining things in a very relatable and memorable way. The really exciting part for me is to be able to find ways to practise technique when there or no waves or a can’t get to the beach. The program has helped me progress and is much better value than buying a new board in the hope that will fix any bad habits or make you surf b..." Read more

"So great to break all of my surfing down and build strong foundations in. I've loved the journey and have learnt so much. The communication has been great and also the way that the course has been presented. I understand so much more and no longer feel like a novice in the ocean. Thanks to the OMBE crew for transforming my surfing."

"I am currently doing the 12 week programme. It has been a massive eye opener in terms of technique and how to simplify things. All of the drills have proven to be pretty useful so far. The access to the inside knowledge is also very useful as lots of questions are answered there."

"I have tried a few surf programs with more or less success and therefore was a bit skeptical about the 12 weeks program. The free OMBE content is good and therefore I went on to buy the program. Good decision! The content is good, the pace is good and you receive tips that you don't hear anywhere else. It's a good balance of theory and practice and it comes..." Read more

"I've been watching OMBE's free content on YouTube as well as following the Facebook group - OMBE's coaching really stands out among the other surf coaching available out there. I've been learning to surf at 44 alongside my 10 yo son with our local surf school every week, but if it wasn't for the OMBE coaching we would have never made as much progress as we d..." Read more

"I found OMBE while looking for ways to improve bad habits I developed from some serious injuries. OMBE is the best online surfing program available. The high level breakdowns of technique and teaching methods are easy to relate to and to remember. I've noticed an immediate improvement in my surfing after implementing a couple of the techniques."

"Great courses well delivered, the youtube videos give you a great idea of the style, but the courses go into a lot more depth and are structured so you can work through logically.

"Walking up and slowing down my take off has been a game changer for me . For a while now I've felt fine once I'm on the wave but my take off has been my stumbling block. It's ironic how by slowing it down It feels so much easier . Stoked ! Looking forward to discovering more technique improving gems ."

"Been watching ombe for 6 months now, as my surfing was plateauing as an intermediate surfer and was looking for a way to improve as trying to figure out issues mid wave was going nowhere. The way clayton breaks down movements resonated with me, and my understanding of how to surf and correct issues has been incredible. As I watch other surfers now can see th..." Read more
