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.

In surfing there is no equivalent to going to the driving range and hitting a bucket of balls; it’s very difficult to work on technique, you’re at the mercy of the ocean of what you can work on in any given session. This program helps make up for that fact; it lays out simple yet profound movements you can work on so you can perfect that muscle memory on land, removing the variability of water. That way once you’re out there you’ll be able to intuitively perform the correct motions. It’s a great program, great for progression, I highly recommend going through the whole thing!

I’ve been surfing for two decades, and I have many bad habits built in that had stopped my progression for years. This program has helped me learn some critical details that will make me a better surfer, and it has shown me the way I can internalise and reinforce those movements, by repetition out of the water, where I can do them hundreds of times. I really think this program is pure gold for anyone interested in developing his surfing, from beginners to advanced surfers.

I have tried this a couple of times in the cold Atlantic waters off Northern Spain on slower 1.5m waves and it worked for me. I still mix it up with classic pop up though. I will try on faster and/or larger waves as soon as I can, probably off the coast of Cornwall. I also make my wife laugh as I slide about the living room on a piece of cardboard, so it is a win-win on the home front too.

Practicing the lifting and weighting that was taught sliding on cardboard worked tremendously while surfing. I couldn’t believe how easily it translated to being on water.

The program is engaging and it certainly makes you think more about the movements that culminate in surf technique.

Surfing is and always will be an “incremental growth” process … Time in water + time + more time …lol I’m a true believer in foundation and fundamentals in surfing are critical to any progress … This is a great breakdown of more than “just do this “ and more of a “do this … and this is why it works , and these are the measurable results”

The program includes great step by step guidelines on how to improve surfing technique. After a bit of practice, it is easy to add these techniques to actual surfing and I definitely benefited from it.

It changes my mind and the way I feel and understand surfing, been a surfer down the deep south part of Chile, with almost not surf culture around. Makes you to do a lot of mistakes and with the cardboard surfer I realizes a lot of them.

I loved this program. It made me realize how I was basically doing absolutely everything wrong. Everything is broken down into small movements that translates into a fluid progression. It has progressed my surfing to a point where I no longer look like a kook.

This program is great! really improved my awareness of efficient posture, movement of my body while surfing. Its been about 6 months since i’ve used the program, and the improvements are starting to become more natural. Old habits die hard they say. I’ve had to constantly check my body position, hand positions and the likes and have had fund doing it, because it shows in the way i move on the water. The program really helped me in understanding those small mistakes that make a huge difference. Cant wait for the surfskate program!
