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.

The training sessions allowed me to feel like I could use my body to enjoy the time in the water, rather than being limited by lack of fitness or pains and injuries

Wow this is easily the best online course I have ever followed, even better cause it’s aimed at surfing.
First, Cris is amazing, explains very clearly the exercises, and you feel his deep, genuine love of surfing and coaching fellow surfers. The man has learned everything he could so he could surf better and help as many people as possible, while doing what he loves. Respect.
The website and app are absolutely top notch, so good to use, no glitch no bug, just high quality content in perfect software. So nice to be able to save workouts for offline access.
The program I followed (Surf Athlete) is very progressive, building strength, flexibility and mobility week after week. I feel like this is the building block that was missing in my life to fix my old injuries, get more physical, more active during non surf days and being able to surf for many more years. I don’t think I have ever felt that good, fit and complete in my body.
Thanks a lot for the amazing work.

Really well thought out, well presented program. I’ve been using the Surf Athlete program for over 18 months and still find it both beneficial and challenging. I’m 49, and it’s much more accessible for me than other programs that assume you have the fitness of a cross fit athlete. I’ve reached out to Cris with questions a number of times and he has always responded quickly and thoughtfully. Cannot recommend highly enough, for both surfers and non surfers.

The Surf Athlete program that Chris has put together is amazing, comprehensive, and professional. It helps you stay in shape for the water and is a wealth of knowledge, that, if you combine with discipline will do loads for your surfing.
I would say that the app could improve by including notes (to self) in the workouts. I would use these to remind myself of weights, reps, variations, etc.
Thank you Chris for your amazing programs!
Regards,
J

Friends complain they are tired in the water or feel pain after a session. I feel that when following the Surf Athlete program consistently I can have long energizing sessions without feeling any bad consequences. The trainings are well balanced and challenging yet not too heavy. Complement with Cardboard Surfer, a must, really!
