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 haven’t been this motivated to workout in years! I have been really enjoying the program so far, it’s well thought out and organized and the video examples are extremely helpful. I come from a multi-sport background and worked (until very recently) as a competitive gymnastics coach. I completed the NASM PT program and the Corrective Exercise Specialist program, to better help my gymnasts and myself, after undergoing extensive rehab and training, for a series of injuries related to a herniated lumbar disc and subsequent muscle imbalances and inhibitions I have been assessing the program with critical eye, and have found very few flaws in it. Congratulations to you Chris! I really appreciate the amount of time and energy that must have gone into this, having tried for years to make my own exercise programs, it’s worth every penny so far. Can’t wait to see how the rest progresses

I’ve been using the program for about 4 weeks now & the range of exercises & explanatory videos is excellent. Many I’ve seen or done through Pilates or gym training but having them all in 1 location like this & seeing the direct application to surfing is really motivating.
I’ve been using the app at home during COVID but an looking forward to putting it into action in the gym.

I am still in the beginning stages of the training but so far I’ve found the stretches , exercises and surfing techniques super helpful! I’m definitely one of those people that always wants to improve and my surfing, it’s been difficult to find one place that has a full spectrum of options to help grow my surf practice. I personally want to look like that effortless smooth surfer who can gracefully paddle and “walk up” and feel confident in my surfing skills – I’m hoping the home practices, tutorials and exercises can keep me surfing painlessly for a long time. Also! Chris was responsive to my questions I had about the app. Looking forward to checking out more of what the app has to offer 🙂 Here’s to keep on keeping on!

I’m 53 surfed since about 13 and keep fit. But my surfing has been lacking and i found myself more and more surfing my Mal. Whilst i enjoy longboarding my shortboarding was getting frustrating. Lacked the dynamic strength to get onto the waves and felt like i was always trying to catch up. So i did a couple of weeks of the free program and am now on the 3rd week of the surf athlete. Amazing turn around – back surfing a 6″ twinnie and loving it. The program is definitely working – and its fun! Sign up and reap the rewards!!

I completed the cardboard surfer program and now am in Phase I of the Surf Athlete program. I just completed a 1 week surf camp in Costa Rica where we were in the water for 4 hours a day. Coming from home, where sessions were about 1.5 hours, I was worried I whether I could hang with multiple surfs a day. I did the workouts before and during my surf camp and I have to say the dynamic flows were a really great tool to recover and prepare my body for the next surf. By the the end of the surf camp I was amazed that I didn’t feel sore or stiff from all that surfing.

I’m only a couple of weeks in so far but am finding the course good. Physically it is not that challenging yet but there is a good focus on mobility which is definitely easing out a few bunged up areas. Plus the bonus breathwork material has been an eye opener onto a world I hadn’t really thought too much about before. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the course brings and hopefully upping the wave count with some better long term fitness. Cheers Cris!
