What You Need to Know About This Program.
You Don’t Even Know What Your Bad Habits Are
Most Intermediate Surfers are “stuck” because their bad movement habits are halting their progression. You need a new lens and understanding of what GOOD surfing actually is. This program will give you a true awareness of surfing biomechanics. You can’t change anything if you don’t know what is Wrong, and what is Right.
It’s Your Body, Not the Board
You need to STOP spending 1000’s of dollars on new surfboards. The board isn’t the problem, the way you move your body is the problem! This course will teach you the Fundamentals of surf movement so you can Actually Progress your surfing! Take the brakes of your surfing with GOOD technique.
Practice at Home Then Surf in the Water
Do you think you’re actually going to correct your technique on the 4 waves you get, on your 1 weekend surf, for a total of 30seconds of actually standing on a surfboard? NOPE! You need a way to build repetition, to build motor memory, to FEEL the new patterns. This program is to your surfing like a driving range is to golf. Practice your surfing at home, build the pattern, become efficient, and then you can replicate it in the surf.

What You Need for This Program
All you need is a willingness to improve your surfing, and a piece of cardboard about the size of a skateboard.
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.

Even with 15 years of experience, the cardboard surfer has allowed me to refine my pop up and the way I generate speed. I felt a difference in the water within a week of practicing on land. Thank you Cris!

Break it down, reassemble it correctly. This is the only way to reprogram away bad habits. I teach Chinese martial arts, have a lot of 10 year + students with bad habits that have held them back. Often, the fix is a small thing, but it is hardwired in, below the level of conscious thought. This is what is wrong with my surfing. Without a new process to focus on, I revert to (bad) instincts.
Thank you

I was skeptical about this program because I judged it by the name. Cardboard Surfer?! It seemed too simple to offer any new strategies for me.
I’m very glad I got the program tho! Cris and Clay are complimentary teachers~ Clay puts in every~person terms the info that Cris explains so well more scientifically. The program fun to do, makes a ton of sense and has helped me surf better. Who knew all it was me and not my surfboard that was the problem!!?
