The ombe surf course is a quality piece of training I have surfed for over 29 years and the insights they give during the course really open your eyes and make you realise the bad habits you have got into. The program is explained in a clear way and broken down really well using good analogy to explain the topics. Highly recommended the best..." Read more

"The free content Clay and Ant put out there is only a fraction of the years of considered instruction that is in the 12 week program. Planning and training on your own is hard, especially if you have a family and a career, but with the 12 week program to help guide you, it is achievable, and sustainable. It's been a great process for me to revisit every aspe..." Read more

"After 20 years of winging it, I picked up the OMBE Surf 12 week program and have learned so much. This is the school I always wanted to go to but never could find. I only wish I would have had access to this when I started my surfing journey. But hey I'm happy I have it now and I can see huge progression in style and confidence Thanks to OMBE."

"A collection of everything you need to know to surf well in the Accelerated Surf Program. Wish I had access to this when I started surfing years ago, it would've prevented a lot of bad habits from forming! Better late than never though, my surfing has improved a lot since starting the program. Looking forward to learning from more new content!"

"I'm not going to lie I originally was really unsure about the programs because it is bit pricey, about the cost of a new board, and some of the things seemed a little corny or gimmicky but I decided to give them a go. And as the saying goes the man with experience is never at the mercy of a man with an opinion. I put a lot of the things to use I I've actuall..." Read more

"The OMBE program was an absolute game-changer for me. While I've had in-person surf lessons over the years, yet I was still making some critical mistakes. The instruction from the OMBE videos provided explanations that fixed my most significant many-year errors, including: 1. Jumping up, not stepping up. Stepping up has far more control. 2. Paddling too har..." Read more
