"I'm following the ombe online training course and I'm very happy with the results so far. The surf program is complete and it has valuable information, clearly explained. It is a nice blend of heart, experience and science I have a feeling that expressions such as "coffee cup hand" will be lexicon of surf schools worldwide. OMBE is setting a high standard...."

"Clayton makes surfing sound so easy and maybe it is. I joined the 12 week program after the cardboard surfer program and it is just amazing how much information and golden nuggets there are. The good thing is they don't only explain what to, but what not to do. And more important why to do it. In short 'it is great'."

"I got hooked on some of the free videos on youtube (catching waves/oreo biscuit). They seemed the most thorough and in depth. Decided to take the plunge on the course, although at first appearance expensive. I reasoned I easily spend that much on boards that i think will help me improve, and that much on gas to get to surf spots. (not to mention the time)...." Read more

"I was on the fence about purchasing one of their programs but I finally pulled the trigger and do not regret my decision at all. The program offers insights on areas of my surfing that I would have otherwise neglected. What I like most is the structured training. I would recommend this program for those who are committed and dedicated enough to improve their..." Read more

"Game changer! I have surfed for over 15 years; great waves and great experiences but my surfing really plateaued and I was struggling to get to the next level. Just signed up for the Accelerated Surf Program and already seeing so many things I can improve on. But more importantly than that, through the simple, clear instructions, I’m seeing the solutions.

"Game changing surf program. Not just a beginner program. A complete breakdown of surfing with easy to understand guides and insights. Brilliant land based training drills which mean you can progress out of the water and then apply once you get to the waves. It's a game changer. Hardest part will be realising what you don't know or what your doing wrong, but..." Read more

"I have just started the 12-week Accelerated Surfer Program. I'm a beginner who has been trying to figure it out on my own for a few months. I'm only 2 weeks in to the the program and my knowledge of surfing has skyrocketed, this is translating into greater confidence when I go out into the ocean. The 12-week program covers a lot of the science behind the sk..." Read more

"I can't recommend OMBE and there ASP course enough, I've only just started the course and really impressed with the amount of information there is and the clarity its delivered. As a landlocked surfer there is so much to learn and practice on land, I can't wait to put into practice in the water."

"I can’t imagine where I’d be in my surfing without OMBE. I stumbled upon them a few months ago and have been blown away by how much it’s helped me progress. Clayton is phenomenal at breaking things down and Ant always asks all the right follow up questions. Could not recommend more!"

"I've been using the Accelerated Surfing program since it came out, and it has dramatically helped me improve my surfing! I love the way Clayton breaks each down into non surfing terms that anyone can understand! If you want to improve your surfing or start surfing and learn how to surf correctly from the start and progress as rapidly as possible, this is the..." Read more

"The courses they offer and the training has been simple to follow and implement. I live in Florida, we don’t get a lot of good quality surf, yet I have been able to drop my volume on my surfboard from 48L to 39L following and doing the OMBE course.. I highly recommend if you are looking to catch more waves, win the battle battle, work on your surfing form an..." Read more

"Everything about the OMBE program is great. The lives, youtube videos and the accelerated surf program are all invaluable. Clayton's analogies are creative and entertaining, but more importantly break down surfing into easy, manageable movements that will improve your skill no matter what level you are starting from. Can't recommend enough."

"OMBE Surf is the best surfing program I have ever come across, with its clean cut app and website. High level breakdowns of technique and teaching methods, it’s easy to see why so many people sign up. In just 4 weeks of the 12 week accelerated surf program, I was turning and generating so much speed that I have not been able to do, teaching myself in the las..." Read more

"Loving the ASP program. Taking me all the way back to the beginning and rebuilding from the bottom up. Soooo many bad habits to get rid of. The shore side training is awesome and in particular the surfskate training. Making an old bloke feel like a grom again. I'm having so much fun. Thanks Clay and the OMBE team."
