Bodyweight Surf Athlete 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 blown away by the app, your knowledge, the exercises, and your holistic/applicable approach to this all. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. So so grateful that I found your stuff, and I can’t wait to enlist in your other modules, too. Very impressive man. I see you’re based in Bali. My wife and I took our honeymoon there, I miss it. Take care, and please keep the content, workouts, knowledge comin’. Phenomenal!

I have had lower back problems for years and can get quite stiff through the hips with limited movement and yes a lot of pain at night after work (concreting). Since starting the surf athlete program I have had a huge transformation through this area, the stiffness has greatly reduced my range of movement has increased and i feel like a grommet again. I can’t thank Chris enough.

I’ve been a fan of Cris Mills for a while. As a lifelong surfer with a shitload of injuries I am always looking for knowledge to keep the body functioning. I can say Chris is legit. He seems to care about everything he speaks about. There is so much info to absorb you almost don’t know where to begin. I recommend the program to most of my clients.

Hey Chris! I just wanted to send you a personal note saying thank you! I am improving big time. I just wanted to say thanks man, tonight was a classic socal sunset session, glass conditions, south + NW mix swell and cardiff reef was pumping. I was catching waves, going down line, making sections, making turns, and smiling ear to ear. As a coach myself, a heart felt thank you to you! My surfing has progressed more in the past four months then it had in the first 40 years of my life. I can’t wait to feel the progression over the course of the next decade… Not sure when we are going to get back down under or if you ever make it up to San Diego but one day I want to shake your hand, share a surf, and buy you a beer. Love your work dude! Respect!

I have learned so much from your training videos that I have seen on Youtube. I am trying to speed up my pop up. I saw better surfers at my local break doing the both feet landing on the board at once type of pop up. At that point I was trying to copy them and it really screwed me up. I am so happy because your video confirms that I have been on the right track all along. All of the other details that enable a person to have the proper mobility really make a difference. I had been doing some of those exercises because of instructions that I got from your videos on Youtube. This course has it all in one place and I am so grateful for that. Thank you for being so meticulous in your presentation. Your mantra of building strength and mobility at home and then using them to surf better has been instrumental in getting me to where I am at today. Have a nice day!

Hi Cris, my wife and 8yo daughter gave me your program for Christmas. Since we all surf together it was really a gift for all of us. We’re watching your program as a family…it’s awesome. We usually watch a video or two on the program before we hop on our boards and practice and critique each other on those drills. No more big effort pop ups. Just to land with feet in the wrong position and have to readjust on a critical part of the wave! It’s wild to get this knowledge after surfing nearly 30 years and see how much more fun we can have in the water by being intentional about our focus for that session. It is such a great asset for my coaching my daughter too. It’s crazy to go out in the water and see how few people really pay any attention to their technique. Glad we’re not in that camp any more. You’ve really got some incredible programs and have put a massive amount of work into putting them together. We appreciate that work, the improvements its already bringing to our surfing and even drawing us closer as a family.

I live in Utah but normally work in Southern California. Started today and loved it! I’m all in! I finished the stretching and the Malibu workout. My cardio for phase one is bicycle and elliptical and trying to go to a nearby lake and paddle for 45 minutes. Glad I ran into this, I’m going to share it with a couple of my Utah surf buddies.

Cris, your App content is amazing. I’m in the 12 week program and really feeling like my body is getting back to “grom mode” at age 45. You really know your stuff! The cardboard surfing info has transformed my style in just 2 weeks. I’ve been doing it all wrong for at 20 years Coffee cup! Looking forward to the getting in to the breathing work soon. -Zach
