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.

The surf skate program is great and has helped me make a huge improvement on my surfing technique. It has also helped me to get my partner and kids on to a surf-skate and immediately get them going and thinking about how they need to position themselves. For me it is mostly about getting as much surfing practice in as i can when i’m away from the water – for that it has worked a treat.

Bought this in December. Due to lockdown I’ve only been surfing a handful of times since then. My surfing has improved in the last 5 months about as much as it did in the last 2 years. It’s just such simple things that make the difference: coffee cup, front on, TLC. But without this programme I would never have been able to understand these terms and I highly doubt that my surfing would have improved. I would say I was a beginner/intermediate when I bought this (trying to get my first cutbacks in and learning to pump) and I had never skated before. I would now say I’m getting to grips with pumping and turning on the wave face and am definitely very confident on my surf skate. Lots of other cool tips in there too and in all honesty I’ve had so much fun just skating round the place. Also great for just getting those movement patterns ingrained in to the noggin.

I am 40 years old, I also had miniscus tear injury last October 2019 and I was very lucky enough that it was in the redzone area of the miniscus which it will heal itself. I been surfing for almost 15 years transcending from longboard to shortboard but I felt like there is really missing link in my performance, for this Surf Athlete, surfskate, perfect pop-up and mostly the cardboard surfboard does really unleash my full potential to accelerate where I left my skills at, and it really help me getting back and to progress more the way I surf before. Cris Mills program are just perfect compliment to strengthen our body and to get us ready for the challenging waves once we hit in the water. It’s definitely a game changer. 🤙🏼

The 30 seconds you do spend on the wave you finally catch make sure your muscles have the automatic memory of what to do. Great program to teach you those movements out of the water over and over 🌊

I’m now training my pop-up on a dedicated pop-up mattress (popupmatic) trying to find the best combination of pop-up and stand-up and trying to move more vertical on the bowl with my smoothstar (Johanne Defay). Both programs helped me a lot. Thanks Chris (and Clayton)! Phil

The surf skate program was really good! I loved the concepts and the drill section. Still need to consciously continue the movements to break old bad habits, but these drills are a great start.

To be honest, I haven’t really followed the program more just watched the videos (though I aim to follow it all eventually sometime hopefully).
That said, it’s good! In all honesty, from just watching the theory and mindsurfing with it in mind I have noticed an improvement in my surfing (which I’m sure would be much greater if I actually followed the program).
Highly recommend. Chris will also answer questions if anything is unclear (usually in depth) and is very near nice to everyone!

Just want to give a shoutout at how great the surfskate training is. As a beginner on a Carver, I’ve improved so much in the span of two weeks. From turning to loosening up my knees, hips, shoulders! Great program! keep doing what you’re doing! Can’t wait to try one of the surf trainings.

Hi Chris,
Both my son and I went through the surfskate program. I found surfing later than most at around 40, so the only negative for me is that I wish I had known this then as opposed to now. The key for me is that the methodology and reasoning behind the various techniques and drills is explained well and really makes sense which gives you confidence.
So while my skate style is still better than my actual surfing, it seems you can teach an old dog new tricks, it just takes more time and perseverance

Hi Cris, my wife and 8yo daughter gave me your program for Christmas. Since we all surf together it was really a gift for all of us. We’re watching your program as a family…it’s awesome. We usually watch a video or two on the program before we hop on our boards and practice and critique each other on those drills. No more big effort pop ups. Just to land with feet in the wrong position and have to readjust on a critical part of the wave! It’s wild to get this knowledge after surfing nearly 30 years and see how much more fun we can have in the water by being intentional about our focus for that session. It is such a great asset for my coaching my daughter too. It’s crazy to go out in the water and see how few people really pay any attention to their technique. Glad we’re not in that camp any more. You’ve really got some incredible programs and have put a massive amount of work into putting them together. We appreciate that work, the improvements its already bringing to our surfing and even drawing us closer as a family.

Your surf strength products are the best thing that happen to me in 2020. I believe I have purchased every one product you offer. I’m healthier, more flexible, and surf better than I ever have. Because if that, 2020 was all that bad for me… basically because of your online programs. If you are ever is San Diego reach out and we can grab a surf. You’re a legend.

I was told about Cris and his videos by a friend who was organising a trip to the Mentawais. Initially I just watched the YouTube strength training videos and the ‘packing for a trip to Indo’ which was really useful.
I randomly ran into Cris in the water at Macaroni’s a few days before the Corona virus forced us all home early.
When I was allowed back in the water back home, I purchased his program. His relaxed but quick walk up and totally focusing on looking down the line has massively improved my ability to get waves. I hardly ever fall on take off, and that definitely wasn’t the case in Indo
Once on the wave, the arm/leg/coffee cup positions, no poo man, twist, be like a sprinter feels great, brilliant advice.

Hey Cris, my name is Chris Campbell. The program is excellent and has really helped every aspect of my surfing. Specifically, the Surf Skate program has improved my turns and style. So yes I am a customer. But I am also an exercise physiologist. Because of my profession, I can really appreciate your expertise. You are incredibly good at what you are doing as a surf strength coach. I just wanted you to know that. Hang in there, man. These are tough times. My wife and I are really struggling too. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Coach, you probably get tons of testimonials already, but quickly I want to say that your program is simply awesome. The surfskate program has opened new ideas. I am 43 years old and have surfed only for 3 years but the plan is to keep surfing in my 60s, and with this stuff it is possible. So, thank you and keep up the good work!

I´m generally not one for reviewing solely out of pure laziness, but I am delighted to make an exception for such a fantastic product. This program is the best investment I have made for my surfing – by far.
I am an intermediate surfer not spending nearly as much time in the water as I would like. I’ve perfected my paddling but maintained an awful technique on the wave face. This program has unlocked a path to progression in a way endless YouTubing just won’t. After a vast amount of ‘aha’ moments, I have a clear trajectory for taking my surfing to the next level. Excellent work. Just TAKE MY MONEY! Workout programs are also great.

This program has been extremely helpful in identifying and clearing out those bad habits (you know the ones that hinder progress only after realizing feeling it in the water) and also gaining body awareness. This brings out results in;giving confidence from land traininglooking for & feeling out the power zones of the wavegliding across and making the section or overtaking drop-in’sdrawing out turns with REAL lean and holding the rail engaged back to the power zone still high on the face
I feel these are the results from your program, your App updates keep it fresh.I can recommend the program as applying to real-life surfers all in the preparation in chasing and dialing in for THAT wave, whatever the conditions.

I get exactly what I wanted: how to start, how to progress, what to watch for, and which mistakes to avoid! Tried videos on Youtube but nothing was as structured as the Surf Skate program. I have also taken a few recommendations which have given me huge progress! Thanks a lot for this structure and for the program! It is a great tool that you and Clayton give to all of us. Keep all the awesome content coming!
