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 have been using the Surf Athlete program for number of years which in itself is a good recommendation as I have started and stopped on a number of fitness regimes.
Its flexibility and progressions are a perfect fit for my timetable. No need for expensive equipment and great range of exercises working the whole body, improving mobility and strength so I can keep surfing. After finishing each session with recovery breathing you are relaxed and ready to go.
Thanks Cris

Estoy realizando el programa de surf atletas y aunque tan solo vaya por la tercera semana de la fase uno, me ha sido de gran ayuda la recuperación de mis sesiones de surf, siempre tenia la espalda cargada con muchas contracturas y el dia de recuperación ha sido un antes y un después, solo por eso ha merecido la pena.
Gracias Cris!!!

I feel more flexible and stronger in the water than ever. after hurting my back and injuring my shoulder from Crossfit I didn’t expect as simple as the surf athlete workouts would improve my fitness in surf but it did! im lighter and more agile in the surf. no joint pains and very flexible. i highly recommend the perfect popup, surf skate and surf athlete program as good foundations for your surfing! or for just overall fitness/health. The knowledge that cris shares is very good. yiw!

I’ve done both the Surf Athlete and Body Weight programs and can honestly say these are some of the best programs out there. I’m 42 and a mom and I’ve been surfing for over 20 years, but lately I get to surf a hand full of times a year. I did almost no surfing all last year and just came back from a Fiji vacation having scored some of the best waves of my life. I was paddling and surfing better than I ever have with zero prep other than Cris’s workouts. Moreover, before I started the workouts my back and hips hurt all the time, I had zero strength in my arms, and I was tired all the time. My body and my health are completely changed and I can finally enjoy playing with my kid not to mention rip on my short board. Highly, highly recommend these programs.

I’m about 2 weeks out from finishing the surf athlete program and I can honestly say that this was exactly what I hoped it would be. I’m a former D1 college athlete, getting back into surfing after a long (almost 10 year) hiatus. My paddle strength/endurance was pretty much gone, and nagging injuries and chronic pain impeded my mobility and flexibility…after a few months working this program and surfing (or snowboarding) pretty much every week, the improvements in overall fitness, flexibility, and my actual surfing have drastically improved. Cris’ approach is scales well and applies to more than just surfing. He really breaks things down from the beginning so that you can get to where you want to be from any starting point…whether you’re a “de-trained” athlete like myself or a beginner surfer who’s never stepped foot in a gym. The movements and exercises really go far beyond just surfing. I would highly recommend the program to anyone that wants to level up in the gym and and in the water. Big ups to Cris for putting together such a bad*ss program.

I love how this program is teaching me more about movement and stretch, not just strength. A great combo of strength, cardio and stretch.
