No Matter Your Starting Point, You Will Learn How To Improve & Restore Dynamic Flexibility… Every Joint, Every Muscle, Key Movement Areas, Full Body Movement Sequences, and Tissue Release to Help Eliminate Pain and Stiffness.
Fundamental Surf Stretches
Essential moves to release the tight spots—freeing up joints and muscles that limit fluid, powerful surfing.
After over a decade coaching surfers, these are the go-to moves I teach again and again. Learn how to unlock tight hips, free up your spine, and loosen stiff shoulders. You’ll come back to these stretches for life.
Research-Based Tissue Release
Backed by science and anatomy insight—improve movement, joint health, and recovery, especially on surf trips.
A tennis ball or foam roller can work wonders—if you know the right techniques. On a surf trip, it might be the most valuable thing you pack. Learn proven methods to release tight muscles, boost mobility, and speed up recovery.
Postural Improvement
Give your hips and spine the care they need—undo the damage from too much desk time and restore your posture and flexibility.
The Paddling Archetype program teaches key stretches and techniques to realign your spine, unlock your hips, and release the tension that builds from long hours at a desk.
Hip Flexibility
Tin-man hips holding you back? Unlock your range and ditch the poo-man stance—fluid hips mean better surfing.
In these stretch routines, you’ll focus on the most effective moves to restore hip mobility and support long-term joint health. Better-moving hips = better surfing.
Improved Flexibility & Strength
Surfing demands control, not just movement. This program builds true mobility—strength through range—for better performance in the water.
Flexibility is passive and weak—it’s what happens when someone else moves you. Mobility is different. If you can pull your shin to your face, that’s strength in motion. And as a surfer, that kind of control is key to staying durable. This program builds mobility—strong, usable range of motion—and that’s what really matters.

FREE BONUS #1
FOUNDATION TRAINING
Do you have a spine? Hips? Surf? Then you need Foundation Training (FT). Surfers use FT to ease back pain, build core strength, and boost performance. A strong spine = a better life. This program teaches the essentials to keep your back pain-free and posture solid. Your spine will thank you. Value: $99.
FREE BONUS #2
PRE-SURF WARMUP ROUTINES
A few toe touches and arm swings? Lame. If you’re over 30, your body—and your surfing—need more. Most surfers skip warmups out of embarrassment or cluelessness. Time to grow up and stop caring what others think. With these routines, they’ll be watching you for tips. This program gives you the exact warmups you need—from quick beach moves to full paddle-out preps—so you hit that first wave feeling fast, loose, and ready. A few key movements, the right focus, and boom—you’re feeling like a grom again. Value: $99.
FREE BONUS #3
Dynamic Flow Routines
Fluid strength—that’s what surfers really want. Supple power. Movement like water. Groovy, right? If you’ve heard of the Surf Athlete Program, you know it’s legit. One of the best parts? The Dynamic Flow Routines—like yoga, but built for surf strength, especially in the hips and core. I want you to have them. Use them. They’ll recharge your body and your surfing—and they’re included with the full Stretches for Surfers program. Stuck at a desk all day? Do one of these flows. You’ll feel mobile, strong, and alive. Value: $99.
!WATCH THIS!
I want you to see this Full Surf-Stretching Routine from the program.
This is just one of MANY Routines found within the full program, all specifically designed to help you move into the positions and postures required for higher level surfing. Compression is your ability to crouch into a barrel, lift the legs up for a floater, or slide your legs underneath you for a flawless pop up. This stretch routine is focused on your ability to be a spring, compress easily, and surf fluidly. You’ll immediately see why Stretches for Surfers is the Ultimate Stretching & Flexibility program created specifically for surfers.

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’m blown away by the app, your knowledge, the exercises, and your holistic/applicable approach to this all. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. So so grateful that I found your stuff. I see you’re based in Bali. Take care, and please keep the content, workouts, and knowledge comin’. Phenomenal!

Thank you for the programs.. I am about 6 weeks into the stretches and am virtually pain free. Also, you can see from the pictures I’m improving in my flexibility, hands up and eyes and head focused to my target. Even at 59 years old it’s possible to regain my confidence.

Living in the middel of Germany so I`m as landlocked as you can be. Training on land (especially surf technique) is a need for me, if I want to make the most of my surftrips.
I´ve been through the surftraining sucess and streches for surfers program, the carboard surfer and now member of the Ocean Sports Academy. I can say that all the programms and workoutplans are well designed and thought out. Working with The Surfstrength Coach had and still has a huge postive impact on my surfing and my overall health. It really take`s off the brakes.

Man, you thought of everything, and what’s more, the sequence is so well-thought out. People can learn the physiology and the techniques to gain (or regain) proper range of motion and flexibility to slowly strengthen the joints and muscles.
You are the master of surfing physiology. Your video instruction is so succinct. Fully explained, clearly demonstrated. Very impressive. Plus, you’re just a regular dude who loves the ocean and gives what he knows back to help the rest of us keep moving at a higher level. And you do it all with a genuine enthusiasm.

Dude, your programs are sick. Here’s quick story;
College athlete, 20 years later still lifting and running, good general shape. Stiff, immobile.
Moved to Hawaii years ago and wanted to teach him to surf while I learned. Quickly realized P90x type lifting wasn’t gonna work.
Dude, I’m more flexible than I have been in decades. And my second-grade son and I are surfing together at beautiful Hanalei Bay. Couldn’t have done this without you, brother. Y’all ever visit Kauai, shave ice on me.

A bit of background:
I am a 48-year-old surfing father of two keen grommets (11 and 9).
Always been fit- have done ironmans, ultra marathons, etc.
But the last year I started getting pains and twinges in my legs, and couldn’t run much.
I had always done traditional stretches- straightforward and backward stuff.
Since getting and following your program, the improvement in all physical aspects of my life has been amazing. Heaps of twisting and functional stretching and movement have been the key!
I have zero pains or twinges in my body, I spring out of bed in the morning, and my surfing is still sharp.
I did eight hours in the wave pool over three days, did five hours surfing last weekend, and am chasing waves every opportunity.
I love your App and program. It’s super easy to use, workouts aren’t too long. Easy to follow, and the demo videos are great.
So thank you, Cris! Keep up the great work you are doing. I wish you every success with it, and will continue to follow your programs. All the best mate!

Hi Cris, I have a NASM certification but my flexibility is limited and I realized that during my first surf lesson and immediately bought a few of your products. They work. Your email speaks to me. I am just really getting into the programs. I have been doing some new things I learned in terms of flexibility and dude you are a rockstar. Great communicator, first class instruction. Well thought out. I can’t begin to compliment you enough and I wish we were neighbors, you are my kind of guy. So yes, I am in, all the way. Thank you for creating a system that is bringing joy to my life.

I want to take a well-deserved moment to say a massive thanks for your help via your program, and regular Instagram motivation which has also improved my approach and outcomes to cooking too. Things have been gradually improving and coming together since I started with your program, and…….. I had an awesome surf a couple of days ago, where a few things aligned and I got a bunch of waves and rode them with more focused awareness resulting in better positioning, more confidence, quicker take-offs, more rail time, and longer rides……… so stoked!!!! It’s been many years, and I specifically attribute 99.99% of turning the clock back to my significantly improved SSC training program (including the cardboard surfer) and surf knowledge and awareness that I have learnt in the last 6 months from you
I’m still working my way slowly through the programs so there is still heaps more knowledge and skill work to tap into and I’m loving it. Thanks heaps, and all the best,

An in depth, well thought programme for surfers, water users and those looking to add versitility into their own workouts. Especially useful during the pandemic when water/gym access was restricted.
