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.

At the ripe old of age 40, i have been watching surfers in amazement and thought – I need to try this. But I had no idea where to start. After some research, I stumbled across some fantastic Youtube videos by Chris and they left me wanting to learn more from him. I then found the Surf Strength Coach – and was WOWED!! It provides a profound understanding of what is required to get up and surf, starting at the very beginning. It is like having my very own personal coach on demand in my pocket.
I am only new to it, and am very slowly progressing – but this is due to my level of fitness and time demands. The program allows me to go at my own pace, which again is what I need. At this age balancing work/life balance is a challenge – but knowing I have this little gem in my pocket, am confident I will be up and surfing in no time.

Living far from the easy is not easy for a surfer. When I happen to go surfing I want to be as ready as possible in order to fully enjoy my time in the water but usually I struggle during the first session as my mind and my body aren’t ready due to the long inactive period. I’ve never done a surf focused training so I decided to give surfstrenghtcoach programs a go. I started with the perfect pop up training and then moved to surf athlete program and I can tell you that I’ve noticed changes since the first week! Now, every time I go surfing, I feel ready to surf at my best since the first wave of the session and I feel at ease also in more challenging situations. Furthermore, Chris is very clear in explaining every aspect of the training and he also teaches the technical know-how of the surfing act. Definitely worth the investment if you want to improve not only the quality of your surfing but also your body!

I’m 5 weeks into the Surf Athlete Program and feeling great. As a guy who doesn’t get to surf that much due to my location, training before trips is extra important. Surf Strength Coach provides great surf specific workouts that I can see myself using throughout life! The workouts target small muscle groups, build flexibility, balance, joint strength… The fact that the workouts are surf specific keeps you motivated. – I’m stoked to program exists. Highly recommended.

I am only in week 3 and have only got in the water once so far since starting, but I already feel a difference in my mobility and overall strength. Truthfully, this has taken me past just being stronger for surfing but being more capable of playing with my 2 year old. Well worth the investment.

Chris is legit. I have trained with pro coaches before and Chris is right there with them. Surf specific whole body movement workouts with a detailed explanation as to why and huge emphasis on proper form. Mobility is center-stage along with pre-surf and workout warm-ups. I want to be the best surfer I can be and this program is what I need to get me there.

Not only are Chris’ programs exceptionally well designed and he does a great job of explaining the movements, positioning, and how they relate to each other, it’s just fun to do the exercises and follow along.

I have practiced Cross Fit and Yoga for 7 years now, but I was stuck in my surfing like the typical intermediate surfer you can see in the videos. (card board surfer). I am stoked with the program which helped me to improve my surfing a lot and gave me a lot of benefit. Especially flexibility, stability and of course my posture. All of the exercises really matter to surf. Thank you.
Cheers Axel

I’m on my early 40s, started working with the “SURF ATHLETE” program a few weeks ago and already started noticing major improvements in my mobility and strength. The targeted and ramp-up approaches really focus on the physiology required for surfing and the educational parts really interesting. The training is challenging but fulfilling!

Really enjoying the program. As a 60 yr old looking to make sure I am at my maximum potential for my next Costa Rica surfing trip, I have found the Surf Athlete program an excellent decision. The workouts are clearly laid out and the descriptions/tips really help. My overall balance (esp one legged) and flexibility are improving measurably already, and I am just 2 weeks in. Luckily I will complete the 12 wk program just in time to head to CR and jump on a longboard! Already stoked! Aloha, Marty

Great training programme focusing on what we surfers need the most and also explaining why we need to train these muscles, and more importantly, how – to make the most out of our bodies and surf as well as we can! Thanks Cris.
