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.
Our Values
1. Get uncomfortable
Surfing is all about pushing boundaries and challenging yourself to try new things. We encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and take risks, whether that's trying a new maneuver, taking a new line or surfing in bigger waves. We believe that's where the magic happens and where you'll see the most progress in your surfing.
2. Community over competion
We believe that surfing is better as a community, and we encourage our members to support and uplift each other, rather than competing against one another. We want to create a space where surfers of all levels can come together, share their experiences and knowledge, and help each other improve.
3. Enjoy the moment
We believe that surfing is a lifelong journey, and the joy is in the process of improving and learning. We want to help our members embrace the journey, celebrate the small wins, and find joy in every session, regardless of the outcome.
The OMBE Methodology
The OMBE approach to surfing emphasizes the importance of focusing on the four core elements of surfing - Ocean, Mind, Body, and Equipment - in the right order to improve your skills and make surfing easier. Many surfers make the mistake of focusing on equipment first and expecting immediate improvements, but this approach often falls short.
1. Ocean
At least have the decency to look at the wave! Understanding & reading the ocean will dictate everything you do, from the line you take, to what manoeuvres you can do.
2. Mind
Learn to take control of your fears, quiet the inner noise and learn techniques to relax your mind so you can actually respond to the wave.
3. Body
Learn to feel the movement and develop the muscle memory. Release tension from the body so you can move with more flow and style.
4. Equipment
You surf a wave, not your surfboard. Equipment is the last thing we change in our OMBE. Your board will either amplify or mute your movements.
