MEET THE GUY WHO’S TRYING TO
HELP YOUR SURFING…
Cris Mills
On a daily basis I help people (predominantly surfers) improve performance, ranging from nutrition, to rehab, and sport specific training.
I know what a surfer needs to work on in order to maintain their interaction with the ocean (surfing). Not only from a personal standpoint, of being a freakish surf-addict who has an intention to keep charging, while also dealing with my own laundry list of injuries, but also having worked with countless surfers from rehab to skill development.
The intention is to keep surfing. In order to do that an individual’s perspective must shift to a focus on health and longevity. Your body is the vehicle through which you interact with the ocean. Keep yourself capable, and invest in your body, it’s movement capacity, it’s joint health, and it’s durability.

You can join the gym and follow a generic program, but if you want to progress in surfing, Chris has all the tips. He is a professional and enthusiast. Money well spent!

Love this app, been following Cris for some time and he puts out the best content. Not only do the programs help improve your surfing but it carries over to everything else. So much up to date and exclusive detail, the instruction in the videos are top notch. The dynamic movement and stretches are worth their weight in gold. Highly recommend this program.

In the last 3 years I’ve had surgery on both shoulders for torn rotator cuff muscles. Recently started using your program to improve my pop ups which as you can imagine have become very sloppy. As I write this review I’m in Lombok and thanks to the strengthening and mobility protocols I’m back surfing as well as or better than before. Keep up the good work.
Cheers William

Loved the program, I’m a kite boarder and couldn’t find anything that would translate well. Love how much functional and mobility work is built in. In 3 months I felt my body change and I was visibly more confident on the water. Can’t wait to see what programs be builds next.

Started to leech Cris free videos on YouTube in the beginning. Bought my first training program in 2012 called STS (Surf Training Success). Back then it was all about PDFs. Been hammering that program ever since but thought it was time to get into a new program. Surf Athlete Training Program is an app in my phone with videos, feels like Cris is in the gym with me guiding me through. No more PDFs.
This is a extremely well formated and solid program. I do not regret one cent spending on this program, nor the STS program. Loving the term “prehab” by the way. Ever since the STS program I have been getting funny looks at the gym performing some of the drills. Six years later look who’s laughing – pain free, strong & mobile.
Looking forward to get to the next level with this program.

Great program. I had a knee injury and I used it to be fit again for surfing. I was able to be surfing again, and with a higher level of strenght.
Chris is also available for questions and doubts during the training journey. Highly recommended!

Been following along with the content Cris has been putting out since I started surfing 7-8 years ago and always end up coming back for more. There is SO much BS in the health and fitness world, I feel like this program has gotten it figured out. While other programs might briefly hit one or two important subjects, this program is well rounded from the importance of breath, recovery, mobility, injury prevention, etc. The guy is all about learning, growing and progression for himself and everyone he comes into contact with. I find myself constantly recommending his content to fellow surfers and any athletes really that are seeking legit health and enhancement of their performance. I have finally figured out some ongoing injuries and gained confidence that I can charge without an exceeded risk of injury. I couldn’t be more grateful.. Cris is an absolute legend and an inspiration on so many levels. This app is an awesome life hack for anyone interested in true health, well being and kicking ass in the meantime.

Really enjoying the program. I’ve noticed a sustainable improvement in both my surfing and general fitness and flexibility. The specificity of the program is great, especially aiming to increase joint mobility under load, rather than a standard stretching program.
Cheers Matt

The app is an amazing tool for anyone interested in increasing performance, both in terms of technical development and sustained health and longevity. You need to take care of yourself if you hope to surf at a high level into your 30s, 40s and beyond; Chris Mills knows his stuff, clearly has done his research, and has laid out clear and well organized plans for keeping your body fit and moving well.

I have surfed for over 20 years along the way I have paid for lessons and have been to several surf camps. Nothing even comes close to the instructional videos and demonstrations from Cris.

For the first time, I feel that my gym workouts make sense! Not only am I getting stronger, but my body moves and feels better. 6 weeks into the program, I know I’m gonna be prepared for my next surf trip. Keep up the great work, Cris!

This program is great! I have been able to go down in volume my boards… and my 6mm winter suit doesn’t feel like a hinderance any more. Why wasn’t this available 20 years ago:P

Every year brings added aches and pains. When you’re in your 20’s and 30’s these changes appear subtile and inconsequential. Once we stagger into our 40’s and beyond, the changes are more noticeable and impactful to overall health. Realizing you’re going through these changes is critical in ensuring you remain healthy and active for the years ahead. Knowing how to extend your bodies functionality is critical. The Surf Strength Coach program delivers on all accounts. It addresses the importance of pliability and flexibility to one’s surfing. It focuses on the key strength muscles needed for each surf session. As a 70 year old surfer, I find Cris’ instruction to be doable and totally applicable to my surfing capability. Cris also encourages direct communications between himself and the client to capitalize on his knowledge and the client’s desire to improve. Growing old gracefully is not an option without dedicating the time and effort to counter the bodies desire to essentially digress into old age. The saying “use it or lose it” sadly has a critical impetus on surfers as we age. We must be able to identify with certainty those parts of our bodies that need special focus for rehab and enhancement as we age. In addition, an overall exercise program that keeps us limber and strong helps us to stroll into the golden years of surfing with minimum suffering — both physical and mental. Cris’ program accomplishes this on all levels. Well recommended !

Since I got lazy the last year, I started the program. It is well structured, easy to follow and it offers something for everybody. Unfortunately I injured my knee badly and had to switch to rehap 🙁 but the breathing programm is still a great resource & got me back on the Wim Hof method as well. I still have a-3-months-break to go and I happy to start over again.

I started seen results right away, a lot of movements that I neglected for a long time. The new app is great, very organized, making it easier to follow the workouts. The instructional videos are awesome to have in the app to use while doing the workouts. This is a game changer.

I have purchased a few apps from Surf Strength Coach and added the Surf Athlete Training Program a few months ago. It is a great program which focuses in detail on training for surfers. I am a middle aged shortboarder and since using Surf Athlete Training Program my pop ups are quicker and I am more dynamic in the water. I would recommend bundling the Surf Athlete Training Program with the Stretches for Surfers for the best results, a combo of fitness with mobility.

This training program is great. Unfortunately, I got about 1/2 way through and my 30 year back issue flared up (unrelated to the surf program). I’m now back at it, starting over, but found it is a really good for progressing through my recovery. The app is decent, the workouts and movements are clear and concise. Looking forward to getting back in the water!

I’m a middle aged beginner trying to pick up where I left off about ten years ago. I’m working through the Surf Athlete Training program and it’s great. It’s helping me in the water as well as out. The increased mobility has actually sorted out back pain issues that I’d been having as a result of too much time sitting in front of a screen. I’ve gotten so much out of this program.

I’ve been having back pain issues for quite a while, tried a lot of different programs etc., but this one did it for me. Not only you get a surf training you never knew you needed, but you get to increase your overall mobility, body control, strength, all in one. I dont go on surf trips as often as I would like, but man, can’t wait for the next one. Thanks Cris!

Been surfing for a long while and was not able to step up my game until I started training with this program. Not only I feel more confident, but I have the capacity to surf better and be ready for when the swell comes. Stoked level has gone up and I am so thankful for the teachings from Cris!
