Surf Athlete Training Program
Proven, Step-by-Step Program for Better, Faster, & More Durable Surfing
Radically increase Your Wave Count. Because Running Out Of Fuel When It’s Firing Sucks
Is Your Body Holding Back Your Surf Progression?
Would a stronger & more flexible body help you to enjoy your time in the ocean?
Your fitness and health is ultimately the foundation for your surfing. So ask yourself these questions: When you get in the ocean, how does your body feel? Are you fluid, strong, and powerful? Or flailing, out of breath, and frustrated? Gassed out arms and breath? A low back that’s pissed from 30 minutes of paddling? That sounds damn frustrating. The art and skill of surfing can’t be built upon a body that is stiff, weak, overweight, and unhealthy. If that sounds like your surfing and your body, you ARE LIMITING your surfing, and YOU CAN fix that.

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 57 yrs old and still good for a strong session in the water, however what I was hoping to get from Cris’ course was more knowledge on how to make this fundamental pleasure last. The 12 week course is really taking my workouts and body knowledge to where they need to go. All being equal, I’m more optimistic than ever that I will be surfing well into the future.

This program is amazing for people who need to compress the timeline for obtaining the knowledge needed to surf. I’m a busy guy and while I’m in good shape, (ran marathons, lifted weights for years) my flexibility has diminished. Additionally, I needed to adapt my training for this new activity. Chris’ program closed the knowledge gap quickly. I highly recommend it!

I can’t say enough great things about the surf athlete program. Cris has poured years of knowledge into this specially crafted mobility and workout program for the body a surfer needs. It’s amazingly well thought out and easy to follow. Personally, I’ve noticed my surfing improve quite a bit due to my body being able to handle the rigors of surfing, paddling and wipe outs! It’s a really cool feeling to know your body is moving better and feeling stronger doing the thing you love doing!
Also, Cris has added some amazing bonuses in terms of special workouts to improve paddling and some of his thoughts and philosophies and most importantly a full set of recovery routines for each muscle in the body. This alone is worth the cost of the program because going to someone to do this kind of work is expensive and he walks you through each one really clearly, explaining the what and how super clearly.
What takes this all over the limit is the way it’s all put together, you just plug and play, follow along, progressively through for phases, week by week, day by day, and through each exercise. It’s amazing and I cannot express enough gratitude for the feeling I feel when I’m in the water. It truly is like having a different body, that handles surfing so much better!

Chris has put together the ultimate training program which combines a mixture of fundamental stretches, strength training and focused core work specifically aimed for the surfer. The 12 week program sets out a no brainer program to follow which I can honestly say that even at the 3 week mark I am seeing a massive difference in the water. Thx Chris it’s well worth it.

Thank goodness I was drawn to Cris’s surf strength training program. He has given this 61 year old female surfer who lacks time in the water the tools I need in the gym to increase my strength and keep injuries at bay. Cris walks the talk; his virtual interpersonal skills are inspiring and supportive. Right on, Cris, Thank YOU! Leslie P., Rockville, Maryland

What an awesome program to fix years of misuse and overuse on the body! It feels like I have brand new spinae muscles 🙂 My overall strength and mobility has improved in just 3 weeks time, and I feel it out on the water with my board. The app is organized and clean, the video instructions are clutch, and the audio walk throughs are to the point.
