I've just started the Accelerated Surf Programme after months of following the Youtube channel.

"I used to surf good, or so I thought. I was stagnating. I thought is was a natural part of aging (I'm 58). I looked to the internet to find surf coaching videos to help me out of my funk. I watched half a dozen on YouTube and found OMBE. I resonated with Clayton's simple yet scientific approach to surfing fundamentals. I then realized I had created lo..." Read more

"Just 3 weeks in the program and my surfing has improved tremendously. It's really hard to figure out how to improve, even by watching the rippers in the water. This program breaks down the movements, creates a schedule for progression and is definitely worth it."

"Not someone to usually write a review, but Accelerated surfer has immensely helped me. I was an absolute beginner with a strong background in skateboarding and snowboarding; within just a few weeks of surfing and frequent land drills, I have a strong pop up, can pump down the line on decent sized waves, and beginning to work bottom and top turns. My favorite..." Read more

"As a relative beginner, I love the OMBE structure and approach. The idea of practicing on land with the right movements so that you can create muscle memory and maximize your time on the water makes so much sense. From the walk up to coffee cup to cardboard surfing it has been fun. I am a little intimidated with surf skate, but will get there. I had the poo..." Read more

"I've watched some of OMBE's free content, and immediately was able to apply concepts and improve my surfing and improved my sessions. My friend has been measurably progressing and out pacing me with their paid program, so I finally bought the package. The staff were extremely responsive, even before I paid! Now that I have access to an unbelievable amount..." Read more

"I just completed my first week of the new 12-week program! I am an intermediate surfer and already I feel like I am re-learning the basics/fundamentals (S-Shaped Learning Curve ftw!). Clay, Ant, and the team do a fantastic job of explaining concepts - I particularly find it helpful when they act it out together. I also have found the OMBE community to be ext..." Read more

"It's not easy to find professional, intelligent, and scientific surf coaching like that offered by OMBE. They have created something really special, and I love that it's inclusive of surfers at all levels, from complete beginner to advanced. As well, it's hard to create an online course for a physical practice, but Clayton and his teammates have done an impr..." Read more

"If you are a beginner to advanced intermediate surfer looking to progress, this program will 100% be worth the investment of time and $. Clayton's explanations are very straight forward and easy to follow. You need to work out of the water to progress in the water, and you need to know what to work on. This program provides the support needed to progress."

"I've been a non-progressing surfer for the last who knows how many years, feeling frustrated and despondent. Within a couple of weeks of applying some of the most basic OMBE techniques, my surfing has levelled up considerably. I was in all sorts of bad habits that I hadn't even realised from my inside-looking-out perspective, and many of the things in this p..." Read more

"The most insightful explanations of surfing and surf movement that I have seen so far. Clayton's way of analysing, explaining and breaking down movement patterns is second to none and he will see minute details that most other people cant see.

"Rarely do I ever leave reviews but I'm completely compelled to do so for Clayton and the OMBE team. Clayton happens to be the first ever surf coach that can use simple language and metaphors and explinations to help you realise what's going wrong with your surfing and then how to fix your surfing problems or sticking points with simple techniques.
