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.

Bought the Bundle program so my partner can learn to surf with The Perfect Pop Up, decided to go through the material myself and I am now applying it our my own surf and I can already see an improvement. My hip was stuck and the program is helping to lose it up, which is helping with the movement flow, also fixed my back foot position which made the board a bit more loose ( easier to turn ). Now I am going to finish The Perfect Pop Up before I go into the 12 weeks program. Also the Stretches For Surfers helped a lot, throughout that that I found out about my hip… Great program

I started surfing a few month ago, really liked it, that’s why I started following Cris on social media, then I decided to go with the 12 weeks program. Surf season is finished here but it serves me for wakeboarding. Can’t wait for my foot to heal to get back at it 100%

Been viewing Cris’s free content for some time, top marks for the quality and depth of these, all for nothing ! Took the jump into buying the Surf Athlete programme recently as , although I’ve been training most of my life, my workouts sometimes lacked a bit of direction and flexibility in particular needed lots of work. Only a few weeks into the programme but already seeing benefits in why a particular exercise is beneficial and how to structure these to focus on improving your surfing – which is why we are all here anyway ! If like me you hesitated into paying some cash, don’t be – the knowledge you will gain will be priceless – cheers mate

Really good training system. Perfect for when I have an hour or more or only 10mins, I can find something to do quickly and always feel great for it.

This training is excellent for snowboarding as well. I never surfed a wave in my life (still on my list), but I was looking for a training routine during the lockdown(s) to be ready for the next freeride trip. And thanks to this program, I feel more ready than ever. Thanks, Cris! 🙂

After week one I noticed my weak points right away. Sore oh yeah those stretches help. I’ve noticed my paddling is strong. I had been going on surf trips and need a day to get my strength right for the rest of the sessions. By doing these work outs my strength is at max.

This is a fantastic program for anyone looking for a balanced regimen to enhance their skills out of the water. Cris provides excellent instructions with the right amount of exercises focusing on core, flexibility, strength, and rehabilitation. Love it, app is great also.

We can easily see in the explanatory videos that Cris Mills completely dominates the science of surfing, and the presentation of the training is intuitive and the explanation of the exercises is very detailed.
Excellent job.

Love this program! I’ve never really been a “gym” guy so I have done (and completed) a variety of at home work outs. I’m on week 3 and like the logic of the workouts and areas they’re targeting. I have regularly used the recovery as well post surf and find the videos clear and easy to follow. Plus…man can’t tell you how much better I feel completing and targeting some of those really sore areas with the recovery workouts. Though I’m just starting the program…I can already see added benefit in my shoulders as well in thoracic mobility (something I’m working on). Great program and highly recommmend!!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
