Structured coaching from Clayton Nienaber, the shaper behind boards for Dane Reynolds and Kelly Slater, and head coach to 41,580 surfers across six continents. Free 7-day trial. No guesswork, no wasted waves.
You paddle out before sunrise. The water is glass. A wave lifts you, and for once you are not fighting your back foot or hunting for balance. Your board does what your body asks it to do. You come off the wave, look down at your own shadow across the face, and know: that felt different. That felt like the surfer you always thought you could be.
You have been surfing for 10, 15, 20 years. You can read a lineup. You can paddle into most things at your home break. But the footage your mate shoots still looks stiff. The back foot still sinks. The turn never quite releases the tail.
Most coaching throws you another trick list. OMBE does the opposite. Every session inside the membership starts with how your body is actually moving and works backward through the four elements: how you read the ocean, how you calm your mind, how your body moves, how your board responds. Fix the order and the style shows up on its own.
Former professional surfer. Head coach, South African national surf team. Shaper to Dane Reynolds and Kelly Slater.
Clayton spent two decades on the professional surf circuit before stepping into full-time coaching. He coached the South African national team. He shaped competition boards for Dane Reynolds and Kelly Slater. He co-developed the Spine-Tek board technology now used by Channel Islands across their epoxy board lineup. He has probably spent more time thinking about how a board responds to a human body than anyone else you will meet.
Now he puts that entire library of knowledge into a single structured coaching system, the OMBE Method, that you can follow at your own pace from any beach in the world.

Wayne BartholomewOMBE is not a YouTube channel, and it is not a pile of tutorials you will never watch. It is a training library built around the four elements of the OMBE Method and the 4 Lines drill framework, paired with a private community, two live group coaching sessions every month, and personal video feedback from the coaching team.
A 5.0 Google rating across 354 reviews tells you what current members think. A free 7-day trial lets you find out for yourself.
Every program inside OMBE sits on the same six-pillar structure. You do not pick and choose. You follow a pathway and the pathway takes care of the order.
Three structured pathways, selected on signup, that walk you from your current skill level to the next one. No more guessing which program is for you. No more skipping ahead and wondering why the fundamentals feel shaky.
Read the ocean first. Calm the mind second. Move the body third. Match the equipment fourth. Most surfers try to fix equipment first and wonder why nothing changes. OMBE walks you through the order that actually works.
The 4 Lines Method was designed at the OMBE Surf Lab on the Gold Coast using a custom built surf skate bowl. Every drill inside the library references the four lines, so your land training and your water training reinforce each other instead of fighting each other.
Upload your footage, submit a question, get a coach response. Every month Clayton and the team hold live group sessions where they break down member clips on camera and show you what to change, on your board, in your body, in your timing.
OMBE retreats run across the Gold Coast Surf Lab, the Mentawais in Indonesia, Malibu Popoyo in Nicaragua, Siargao in the Philippines, the Maldives, and Cabo. Small groups of 6 to 12. Annual members earn priority booking and retreat credit.
The private community is where members post their footage, ask the coaches questions, and find local surfers on their same pathway. It is the closest thing a traveling surfer has to a home crew that follows them around the world.
These are the tools annual members get the day they sign up. Designed to close the gap between watching a lesson and actually changing what happens on your next wave.
These are just example free bonuses meant to increase conversion rates on your main offer. This has been the difference between getting a 1x breakeven for my clients and getting a 4x return.
A 14-day reset pack built for surfers who feel stuck at the same level. Seven land drills, four surf skate drills, three water sessions, one single focus cue per day. Designed to break the back-foot habit and reset your stance inside two weeks.
A 24-card deck of the OMBE Method trigger words, one cue per card, printed at wallet size. Pull a card before every session to lock in one focus for your paddle out. Includes a phone wallpaper version.
A 21-day preparation program for members booked on a Mentawais, Maldives, Nicaragua, or Gold Coast retreat. Paddle strength progression, mobility, breath work, and a destination-specific wave prep brief so you arrive confident, not exhausted.
Here's who built it, and why.
I run Facebook and Instagram ads for founder-led education businesses.
My clients are people like you: creators and educators who have built real audiences through years of hard work, great content, and word of mouth. They come to me when they are ready to pour fuel on what is already working.
I'm selective. The business has to genuinely help people, the customers have to love it, and I have to feel proud if someone found out I was behind the ads. OMBE Surf Coaching checks every box.
Not hypothetical. Not from three years ago. These happened in the last few months.
Got a client onto the New York Times bestseller list. He had been chasing that goal on his own for over a decade. I built the campaign that finally got him there.
Generated nearly $1,000,000 in revenue through Facebook ads alone for a single client, in just 11 days. Same client, same product. Better strategy, better creative, better pages.
Ran a volunteer campaign for a live event. Sold out every seat at 3x ROAS. I did it for free because I believed in the event.
Launched ads in beginning of March 2026 and already grossed $26K in the last 30 days.
I don't charge if it's not profitable. That's not a tagline. It's been the deal for over eleven years.
I take a percentage of the growth I bring in, only after the math works. After ad spend. After your expenses. After my fee. If it's not profitable after everything is accounted for, where you make more than I do, I don't charge. That's why I only take on clients I'm confident I can deliver for. I never spend just to spend.
Facebook ads management is the core, but I also build the landing pages, create the ad visuals, and develop new bonuses designed to lift conversion rates on both the ads and the offer. Everything on this pitch page, the design, the copy, the bonus kit, is the kind of work I do for every client.
Every page, bonus, and creative asset I build is yours. Use it for organic traffic, email campaigns, wherever. No exclusivity clauses, no extra percentages. If something I made helps your audience through a channel I'm not running, that's a win.
This is one concept from a set of five. Open meta-ads.html to see the full campaign.
This is one concept. I have dozens more in the full campaign deliverable.
No pitch decks. No high-pressure calls.
