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.

Excellent breakdown of exactly how you should be moving during workouts and how it should feel in the water. I cannot emphasize enough how well I feel even after a few weeks. I swam and played water polo for over a decade and as cliche as it is, my shoulders feel stronger than ever. Cris is dedicated to his craft and continually looking to improve the products even after I have purchased them

I’m a 51 year old trying to work out why I never learnt to surf properly earlier in my life and using everything available to start he journey now. I truly believe Cris’s programme is the answer. I only discovered Cris’s website about a month ago but was really impressed with how comprehensive the content is. He has amalgamated a wealth of skills, information and techniques to produce videos that appear to cover every possible aspect of learning to surf. Having spent the past 20 years dabbling in yoga, pilates, and cross training I love the way Cris has distilled out surf specific exercises for the most effective progression. I’m three weeks in to the Perfect Pop Up and loving it. Already seeing increases in strength and slow improvments in mobility. I have an arthritic hip with FAI, a topic Cris addresses directly in his hip mobility videos. The exercises give me relief from discomfort and now I’m doing them most days. The pop up and stance drills really work too. Last couple of waves I caught I found I had both hands forward automatically and was already lowering my stance. I love learning new skills and this coaching is proving to be super effective for me and a ton of fun.

I am an experienced surfer and an avid searcher for surfing tutorials to upgrade my style and technique.
The Surf Strength Coach is by far the most complete, detailed, and comprehensive program I have ever come across. I bought several programs including the Surf Skate, the Perfect Pop Up, Surf Athlete, and the Body Weight Training. I’ve been training constantly I can say that I and my buddies have already noticed a big improvement in my surfing. I feel more loose, more fit, more aware, and more confident than ever. I highly recommend the programs. They are effective l and worth the price you pay. Differently than many other bullshit coaching programs I unfortunately acquired before I knew Surf Strength Coach.

This program is absolutely amazing. Cris does a great job making it fun and engaging. It will definitely help you in the water, but I’m impressed at how much it’s helped outside the water with my physical and mental health. Thanks for everything!

This program is the best! It’s full of awesome strength, flexibility, mobility & recovery routines. It has changed everything for me, I wish somebody told me all of this in my 20s instead of my 40s!
The app works great and everything is presented so well.

I am 38 years old and started surfing at 14 in Florida. Lived in Hawaii for a while and took several Central American surf trips. My surfing life went off the rails when I moved to the Midwest for love and work. I lost my surfing shape when I could only surf on vacation. I now have an opportunity to live in Costa Rica for 3-6 months a year. This program has been the perfect solution to keep me in surf shape and to help me relearn all of those skills that used to be muscle memory. Cris is super knowledgeable! It’s not just exercise, it is stretches, breath work, and science.
I just got back from a 10 day trip to Costa Rica and my surfing is on its way back to what it used to be. I hope to surf until I am 100.
