I came across Clayton in the Surf Mastery podcast (Episode 14 & 25) [Highly recommended].

With Clayton's experience as a rider, shaper, and coach, he has a unique perspective to phrase things in a way for any skilled rider to understand.  Clayton has been affectionately described as the Mr. Miyagi of surfing (Karate Kid).
The OMBE group has contributions from Rob Case (Surf Paddling Coach), Twiggy, Cris Mills (Surf Strength Coach), among others.
In October 2020, they started hosting free weekly live video feeds for coaching instruction.  The historical ones are stored as an episode on youtube on the Ombe Surf channel:

Episode 1: The importance of Surf Simulation
Episode 2: Bosu Surfer Perfect Pop Up
Episode 3: Waterman
Episode 4: 10X your surfing in 30 days
Episode 5: Q&A to 10X your surfing

Episode 14: Stress vs Surfing
Episode 15: The Back Foot Debate
Episode 16: Surfboard Size and Paying Your Dues

They are trying to build a community of surf instruction via a facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/ombesurf/
For the more dedicated surfer, they offer a paid online Accelerated Surfing Program:

With topics such as:
Surf Science
Mind Surfer
Cardboard Surfer
Bosu Server
Surf Skate Foundations
Surf Skate Advanced
Waterman
Catch More Waves

None of it is SUP specific, but I hope to bring what I learn into my SUP surfing.

Thanks for this. I have been looking for a new podcast and have never really listened to a surfing podcast before.

Make paddleboarding great again!
