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.

This is a complete program that you can use to stay in surfing(or really general) shape. Cris’s stuff is some of the most thorough programs that I have seen with all aspects, mobility, strength, cardio , breathing that I have come across. He also explains in detail each exercise and it’s purpose so that you have the tools to figure out what might be holding back your surfing, and how you might improve it. It is well worth the money for the amount of information that you get with this and all of his programs

I completed the twelve week programme during NZ’s Covid lockdown in 2020 when our beaches were off limits for surfing. A year previously I’d subluxated my shoulder resulting in super annoying aches and pains during surfing and in my work as a builder. Long story short, I’ve been surfing every week pain free since completing the programme and definitely going to keep a regular routine going based on Cris’ exercises. Cheers!!!!!

Got out for my first surf today since checking out your Paddling 101 videos. All the tips you cover in those videos are so good and different to what I’ve had going on in my head all these years! Thanks again for making so much of a difference to my surfing already!

I had to move inland for a few months for work and I knew I wouldnt be surfing much, so I picked up the 12-week training program in hopes that I’d stay in shape and be able to get right back to it when I my tour was over. I just started week 4 and have thoroughly enjoyed the program. It’s so much more than just a workout regimen – the short videos explaining each movement are extremely helpful in ensuring correct form. The only thing I would be conscious of for this program is that you do need a few equipment items to completely all of the workouts, but it’s reasonable. I also picked up the bodyweight program for when Im staying at a hotel and don’t have my normal equipment/space. It also seems like a great program!

Started surfing at 48 and quickly hurt my shoulder. Took me a while back to return to the water and struggled to improve my surfing. I’m following the twelve week program and already manouvering in the waves and feeling much better. It’s a really well thought and put together program to help you improve your resistance in the water: surf more waves and enjoy them much better!

46 years old and recovering from a neck injury. It was a wake up call for me to change my lifestyle and get back to what made me happy. I wanted my stoke back and in order to do that I needed to get my strength back. And I also wanted to come back better than before. After checking out some of the free stuff I decided to pull the trigger. I had already started self training a few months ago so I was on my way but this program has started to take it to the next level. I just finished week 2 of the surf strength program and I can already feel the difference. Check it out. Try it out. And be honest with yourself. A really coach has lots to offer that I never realized before. Much gratefulness!!!

Aloha. First review I’ve ever written. This guy is legit and these programs are tremendously helpful. I’m in my forties and live in Hawaii. Wanted something to help me learn to surf and to surf well. These programs are all wonderful. Challenging workouts and a skilled instructor. And the APP is easy to use and very informative. Give Chris a shot. Won’t regret. Mahalo.

This is the perfect balance of strength and mobility. It’s obvious a lot of thought went into creating the program, the result is a clear structure and progression that prevents injury while increasing the challenge over time. The benefits to your surfing will also translate beyond to overall health and posture in every day life. This is not only the best surf training program, but probably the best training program period. The videos have high production value, the app is great, and the bonus content on breath work and paddle training are fantastic. I have zero hesitation recommending this, get it now!
