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.

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.

Cardboard surfer changed my surfing and the way I understand how the body controls the board. Can’t recommend this enough.

Cardboard surfer is an outstanding way to improve posture and performance. So much information, even after 20+ years of surfing I was stunned by how much I learned, all of which flowed straight into the next surf. I am still integrating it, using it in dry land practice and in the water. Really solid piece of surfing education. Oh, if you are really wondering if it is worth it….think about how else you could spend a small amount of money to improve your surfing. Here you’ll get loads of lectures demonstrating proper body position, for almost every relevant move. These include exercises you’ll practice on your own cardboard surfer which translate 100% into the water. You’ll have them forever, so you can just keep working on it. Easily worth it.

I’ve been on Chris’ programs since back before the app – shout out the Surf Mastery Podcast!
I continue to enjoy the artfully put together programs mainly down to the fact that Chris takes methodologies and concepts from lots of different disciplines and distills it all down in to concise and simple yet challenging chunks. I only started surfing a few years ago and was looking from the outset to build good techniques, habits and surf specific physicality all of which Chris (and friends) deliver. Cheers mates!

I am only halfway through the class, and it already positively impacted my surfing.
The way Cris breaks down the walk-up process has been so helpful, the cardboard pumping is great too.
Loving it so far!

I am so glad I purchased this program during the quarantine. Like most people, I thought my popup was pretty solid. After working through this program, the walk-up technique taught here has changed my surfing. I’m much quicker getting up on the wave, fluid, and efficient. My friends have noticed how much I’ve improved and asked me how I’ve gotten so smooth. I don’t hesitate to tell them it’s because of this program! The simple biomechanical principles that Chris and Clayton use in this program are no brainers; it makes total sense when they show you more efficient ways to move your body when surfing. If you’re looking to improve your surfing by starting at the foundation, this is it!

I only recently started surfing at the ripe old age of 42!!!. At first I did all the usual searches on the internet and YouTube firstly on how to pop-up etc and then how to generate speed and turn etc. I watched all the videos over and over only to be left confused. Once I found the Cardboard Surfer program all that confusion was replaced with a well thought out plan that just made sense due to the way the body naturally moves. My surfing has improved so much over the last couple of months as I took the time to understand the movements and more importantly practiced them on a continual basis. This is a fantastic program that will improve your surfing no doubt.
