About OMBE
OCEAN. MIND. BODY. EQUIPMENT.
Welcome to OMBE. Founded by former professional surfer and world-renowned coach Clayton Nienaber, OMBE is creating a community of passionate surfers dedicated to sharing the joy of surfing. Whether you’re a beginner looking to pop up on your first wave or a seasoned barrel-pig hoping to level-up, our team of expert surf coaches will be there every step of the way as you progress through our specialised training programs.
JOIN A SURFING COMMUNITY
OMBE is all about the power of community. By tapping into a crew of like-minded individuals you’ll be exposed to golden nuggets of information, drawing from a fountain of knowledge not only from our coaches but also your surfing peers. From core skills like paddling and duck-diving to advanced concepts like aerials and tube riding, our range of resources caters to all levels of surfer. By breaking down real-world theories and movements into a toolbox of actionable tips and techniques, we’ll ensure you’re kicking goals every time you hit the water.
LIFE IS GOOD WHEN YOU’RE SURFING
And even better when you’re enjoying your surfing. At OMBE, we’re all about celebrating small wins and embracing the journey. Surfing is about more than bottom turns and cutbacks, which is why we teach ocean IQ to develop intelligent surfers with the basics down pat. As part of the OMBE gang, you’ll learn to surf with effortless style and endless possibilities.
COVER ALL THE BASES
We focus on the core elements of surfing – Ocean, Mind, Body and Equipment (OMBE, get it?) – to deliver a simple method and sure-fire results. With these four aspects in sync, you’ll unlock a flow state within the ocean for a long and stoke-filled surfing life. From online training programs to one-on-one coaching, we’ll help you become the surfer you’ve always wanted to be.
The OMBE Way
OMBE is a philosophy that guides the approach to surfing and life. It emphasizes the importance of slowing down, feeling more, and embracing challenges to improve and grow. By doing less but moving with intent, surfers can improve their ability to feel and react to the four core elements of surfing - Ocean, Mind, Body, and Equipment. At OMBE we also value honesty in our feedback and community, even if it may be difficult to hear, as it is necessary for improvement to be honest with yourself and others. Ultimately, our goal is to help surfers enjoy the journey and embrace the learning process.
