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.

I’m a lifeguard on Oahu and an avid stand up boogie/surfer, all of your videos and knowledge has changed the game tremendously. I love sharing all your videos with my coworkers (normally they too cool for yoga or stretching but when they see and hear you, it’s a different package entirely 😆) right on for using your knowledge to help people like me with the long game, longevity!

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!

Coach, you probably get tons of testimonials already, but quickly I want to say that your program is simply awesome. I have done now first 4 weeks of the program and I am already feeling big differences in my body. Earlier I have done crossfit, climbing, yoga etc, but none of these prepare body for the waves or paddling. Also 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.

I really like the breath work. It is definitely something I struggle with and at 51 have tended to avoid surfing past about 2-3 ft because I had a couple of bad experiences with wipe outs and being held under. Today I went for a surf and it was a good 2 – 3 ft (live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney) and wiped out and was held under. I could feel the panic rising, then the breath training kicked in. I focused on holding my breath and started counting and stopped fighting the wave. I popped out of the water at about 8 seconds (like I said small waves). The breath training is building my confidence to be able to surf conditions that I would have avoided. Don’t get me wrong I ain’t ever gonna be a big wave surfer, but I now have a way of feeling better about surfing slightly bigger waves. I now look forward to the 4 footers.

Just to let you know your videos/workouts have made a difference in my surfing. I guess you could say I’m a conscious incompitent and am making the transition to a shortboard now.

I just want to say thanks for the time and care you put into all the videos. I love the attention to detail.
I am recovering from a knee injury (4 years ago:) and my body has never righted itself since. After only 2 weeks of the bodyweight course, I’m getting a deeper understanding of where the imbalances lie. In the short term, I’m already feeling stronger in the water.
