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’ve spent hours looking for clues in youtube videos as I’m learning to surf and it was so refreshing to find this program. It explained in a simple direct way the core movements needed to surf, and the common errors that surfers fall into as they learn the sport. It was shocking to see how I was doing them most of them! The corrective exercises are surprisingly easy and provided a solid approach which I have seen results after just 1 week. So rad!

For the past 17 years of me being a surfer, I’ve always struggled with exactly what to do when I’m on a wave. I’d see other surfers absolutely just ripping and I wouldn’t understand entirely what they were doing and why I couldn’t surf like that. Surfing didn’t exactly come natural to me and having been an athlete my whole life (also an ex NCAA D 1 athlete) I needed specific instruction on how to generate speed and turn my board. Enter The Cardboard Surfer. This program lays it all out. The program’s specific technique instructions were so thorough and precise that surfing finally made sense to me. I had tried using other surf technique instructions on YouTube but they paled in comparison to Cris’s analogy-based teachings like the “coffee cup” and “beer pass.” I’ve already incorporated the techniques on my carver surf-skate and am seeing incredible results (super stoked for the Carver program btw- DEFINITELY going to get that one when it comes out). Since I can’t make it out to the coast due to COVID-19 at the moment (beach closures), I can’t even imagine how much progress I’ve made since learning from the Cardboard Surfer program. I definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to level up their surfing!

The cardboard surfer program provides great exercises and insights into how surfing in the water should feel. It gives many exercises to practice at home (without looking like a kook to everyone) and to get a better feel for the board (and your own body). Cris and Clayton are very insightful and following them has helped me progress my surfing significantly.

As someone fairly new to surfing and being a landlocked surfer, the Cardboard Surf Program is perfect for maximising my time in the water. The program is straightforward to use and as long as you put the time in you’ll definitely see results from dry land practice to being in the water. What has changed my surfing and ongoing progression has been the ‘walk up’; no more ‘pop up’ no more ‘poo man’. Do yourself a favour, if you are relatively new to surfing or have been surfing a while and stuck on a plateau of progression, get this program, it will change the way you surf for the better. The Cardboard Surf Program – simply awesome, 7 stars!

I’m a complete beginner so wasn’t sure if this would be too advanced for me, but it’s been awesome. Rather than teaching myself poor technique then trying to correct it later, it makes so much more sense to try to get it right from the start. Even though some of the skills are beyond me at the moment, I love that I can come back to the drills as my surfing progresses.

I’ve known for a while that my pop-ups were hopeless. Walk to pop-up has improved my wave success 1000%. And that’s just the beginning. Every segment of Cardboard Surfer has been insightful and helped my understanding of how to surf and gradually I’m feeling more success in the water. Thank you

Thanks so much Chris and Clayton for this program. It has opened my eyes and mind to all the things I have been doing wrong but also doing right. Every-time I’m in the water, I try to focus on a particular technique detailed in the cardboard surfer. It blows my mind sometimes when it just works with less effort than my pre-cardboard surfer days. I would recommend the cardboard surfer program to anyone who wants to improve their technique.

I have been able to apply the lessons to my carve boarding and it feels like its helping, it makes pumping and turning feel more natural and easy to understand. Great programs for anyone that wants to improve their surf fitness, or anyone just looking for something different than hitting the gym and throwing some weights around. My wife doesn’t surf…at ALL…and she even loves the programs because the keep the workouts interesting and you can feel your body moving better after a few weeks of using them.

This program is the best 100 bucks I’ve spent in a while. My surfing and mindset changed the first time I got in the water after finishing the first section. I feel like I have all the time in the world now, when “walking up”.
Thank you and Clay for breaking down the popup so methodically.

I am a high school teacher with two teenage boys who have picked up surfing during this Covid crisis. They are fearless and naturals.
I just wanted to get to the line-up and surf some green waves with my boys. This app has everything in once place. It’s awesome.
As a teacher I appreciate the methodical approach to surfing.
I have the cardboard surfer and the surf athlete programs. Both are go at your own pace and designed to help me do what I enjoy, surfing with my boys.
The cardboard surfer app is helping me learn the proper movements in a simple non judge mental way. I can practice at home as much as I want and following great videos and a simple piece of cardboard. Amazing!
The surf athlete is helping my 49 year old body handles the pressures of surfing and more impotently morning t will help my overall health and wellness.
I’m excited to be on this journey and so thankful for Surf Strength Coach!

This program is one of the best I’ve seen to really break down the basics of what you need to become a better surfer. My surfing has progressed just because I knew about these exercises and what to do with your arms and legs (which I probably would not have figured out on my own). I would recommend it to any surfer (beginner, intermediate or advanced) that would like to better their surfing and progress to the next level. This has honestly changed my whole understanding and approach to my surfing and makes me so excited to just get back out in the water and try these exercises in real surf. It’s awesome!!

The “Cardboard Surfer” ist exactlly what I´m looking for because it starts from the beginning (right posture) an I can performed in my livingroom (how good is this) or on a surfskate. Now that I´ve been through the Programm I realised that I´was only told how to catch a wave but not how to surf it the right way (not even by the so called “coaches” back in Portugal). I also have some of the “110% surfing technique” dvd`s but they are virtually useless when you`re not living by the sea.

We have a newborn at home and I have been studying for my Physical Therapy board exam, so I have not had a chance to get in the water and put this to use as of yet. But soon!

I have been a long time struggler with injury and mobility that had taken away a lot of my surfing ability. This program has introduced me to the technical aspect of surfing which I have never been exposed to before. I now have a different way of approaching my surfing which includes stretching, mobility work and surfing my cardboard around the house. It is immense help when you are shown through technique how to achieve what you have been aiming for. Reminded me of what frothing for waves is like….

The information Chris provides in this program is the best and enlightening I ever found on the internet. After struggling with my pop up for years and never knowing exactly what went wrong, following the cardboard surfer improved my surfing and my knowledge of what I was doing wrong. I can recommend this program for every surfer, combine it with one of his other programs and be a better surfer. It won’t come easy though, you need to invest your time and practice a lot. But the result is magic,
