Clayton Nienaber is a World Class surf coach and former pro surfer with a truly unique coaching method.
His concepts, techniques, and drills applied on a surf skate will actually make you a GOOD surfer.
Avoid (or get rid of) the bad habits so many people get when surfing or surf skating, such as:
The OMBE method revolves around 5 key points you need to master on a surf skate to truly become a better surfer:
Clay takes you all the way from moving properly on your surf skate, to making effective and stylish turns on flats, to choosing the right lines and surf the skate bowl effortlessly.
You COULD learn to surf skate on your own by wiggling you way around like others do.
But as a result of bad habits, your skating and surfing may stagnate for years - as it has for me.
OR, you can learn and practice SURFING on a surf skate so when you hit the waves, your riding is already effective and stylish.

I watched the three day skate, yesterday and how awesome. So simple, clear and so many golden nuggets. Thanks team

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. Clayton is a magician who is revealing how all the tricks work behind the scenes.

I grew up on the coast in South Africa, but have been landlocked in Switzerland for 6 years, without the means to surf regularly. I recently bought myself a surfskate and tried it out a few times. It felt much like my surfing does, uncoordinated, forced and frustrating. I then bought the Ombe Surfskate online programme, and within only 2 weeks of using the programme, i feel like i am completely reprogramming the way i use my body and mind when skating/surfing. Thanks to the easy to follow descriptions and videos, I can literally feel, as well as see how I am improving my technique and style, and having an absolute blast at the same time! I can highly recommend this programme for anyone that, like me, buys a surfskate with the intention of using it to improve their surfing. In fact, the Surfskate Foundations programme is an absolute MUST for anyone looking to do this!

My favorite part of the program is the real "training" occurs on land, making the water the time to allow the body to execute what you've trained it do and have fun. I've found myself having more fun in the water and progressing much faster than I should be.

Loving the 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.

I live a 100 kms from the coast and get to surf once a week if I’m lucky. The land-based training, creating the correct movements and practicing at home or on a surf skate is great for me. I can maximise my improvement for when I do hit the water. After years of stagnation – I’m really seeing improvement in my surfing and just feeling stoked again. Thanks Clayton, Ant and the OMBE team

I am a landlocked surfer from Germany, so training on land to maximize the fun and progress during my limited time in the water is key. I had so many lightbulb moments watching the videos from Clayton it is insane. You can really feel a big difference when you try the techniques he teaches on a Surf Skate! I can't wait to hit the water in the Canary Islands in 5 weeks and see how this all translates to real surfing.

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.I am a little intimidated with surf skate, but will get there. I had the poo man stance but now am transitioning to the hips rotated forward position.

Living in Iceland means it's not always easy to get into the water, but on days I can't surf I have all the training I can manage between drills I can practice at home in my living room, to skate practice I can do in the local parks. Keeps the stoke high, and gets me excited for every time I can get in the water to see how I've improved. Thanks OMBE team. SOOOOOO appreciated.

I have spent hours in the water trying to get better by myself, I've had a range of coaching and looking at stuff all over Youtube and the internet to get better at surfing. It has been such slow progress for me and, as a woman starting surfing late in life, it has been a real struggle. Surfing isnt like other sports, you need to get the technique right from the start in order to progress. I got the OMBE program and have been watching the easy short videos, practicing the land drills and took the plunge to start doing the carver skateboard drills on the street then on a ramp. My progress in the past few months since doing this has been mind blowing and i can see how much faster i have progressed compared to my friends who are still literally just stuck in the flats. The skateboarding was scarey at first for a 48 year old woman riding a mini mal, but by following the prescriptive instructions it actually was easy to get confident then take that into the water. I feel like i've learnt 5 years of surfing skills in just several months because the program was so focused on what i needed to know, without any of the other stuff which these online training programs often include. I'm even using the stuff i have learnt when i coach my kids, their progress shows just a simple and clear the instructions and drills are - even my 5 year old gets it :)
