"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 started watching OMBE via the free lessons and the coaching methods were a revelation to me; I"m now a 12 Week Program person! I've had a few coaches over the years but for me, Clay's methodology is the one that really resonates with me. He's unpacked it and made surfing accessible to anyone who want's to learn and get better. As a yoga teacher, I under..." 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. Seeing a lot of improvements already, but more importantly, I feel like I always have a eureka moment driving home when one of the key words pops into my head and makes sense of th..." Read more

"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 ."

"This is the best surf training program I have found and 100% worth the money. One of the key aspects of the program is that there is a lot of land based exercises and skate drills that allow you to develop the proper muscle memory through repetition on land so that you have the proper surf technique when you are in the water. This allows you to have greater..." 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
