    Truly Awesome!! Beyond words.

    [email protected]

    Just downloaded and purchased the cardboard surfer. After viewing about 1/4 of the content, I can say that after my board, this is the best investment in surfing I’ve ever made! I’ve learned more here than all the other videos and books I’ve looked and that’s a lot!

    There is so much more on the app that I’m looking into learning as well.

    This is really an incredible set of programs, and I’m grateful to have been exposed to it.

    Really like the Coffee Cup and the Cardboard approach!

    German Llorens

    At first I thought What the heck? a Cardboard Surfboard? But after doing the exercises from the program I really understood the benefits from it. I really improved my techniques with the coffee cup moves and most of all, getting speed down the line with the cardboard deck. This training is a must!!! Way to go Cris!!

    I’ve been watching surfers generate their own speed for years, but haven’t been able to do it myself. My first session after the programme I was pumping down the line.
    Thanks Cris and Clayton

    Alicia King

    This program is ingenious! Who would’ve thought a piece of cardboard could transform your surfing?! Doing the drills in this program has helped me feel the fundamental movements required for good surfing and it is something I keep coming back to over and over. Highly recommended!

    This program improves your wave count by effective body movements.

    David Pettit

    This program identifies correct techniques & required posture to change & improve your wave count by effective body movements. This program can reverse years of poor technique and muscle memory, this needs to be matched with time in the water . Thanks .

    This program my surfing has improved more in the last 2 months

    matthew rosso

    As a direct result of this program my surfing has improved more in the last 2 months than in the last 8 years. I’m making sections that I used to watch run off into the distance, and am able to generate enough speed to actually turn rather than wobble from side to side.

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.

Cris Surfing In Mentawais 2019

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.
