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.

Jim Nilsen –
Over the past several years I have tried several programs to improve my surfing mobility. I am 48 and spent many years lifting heavy weights and following a strict strength training routine. I neglected mobility and flexibility for the most part and also developed weaknesses that I was unaware of.
As a result my surfing has suffered and in particular I have battled restriction of movement along with associated injuries which have gotten pretty bad over the last several years. My whole body has been pretty locked up and was getting worse and worse. My biggest struggles have been with Kyphosis and anterior pelvic tilt from too much desk time, improper training and overall neglect. This has negatively affected my ability to function efficiently in the water.
After only one month doing the full routine along with the separate pop-up program I am already beginning to feel my body open up. Paddling is improving and my pop-up is night and day. I didn’t remember how easy and effortless it could be! I still have a long way to go, but I have confidence that the program will get me there. The information and detail in the program is excellent! Give it your 100% and the reward will follow. The program is great for surfing, but also great for your overall mobility for life.

Cris’s work is excellent, and he froths on sharing his knowledge with others. Great explanations with videos for every exercise, and he uses minimal props so you can do it just about anytime and anywhere. I’ve had huge improvement in range of motion, and improvement in the water – despite me not being able to do it as often as I would like with a heavy work schedule.
Workouts with a focus on regaining proper functional movement specifically designed for surfers, with post surf recovery techniques and exercises. Constantly being updated with more content. If you surf, you need to get into this.

Been following Chris for quite a while on line and loved the videos on training , stretch etc.. The app takes it to another level by offering great programs for all the aspect of surfing that you would like to improve. I am a part time Life Guard so still in good shape for a middle aged man but the app training program helps me keep me in shape and improved my surfing. Great app strongly recommend all programs to anyone who wants to push the boundaries a little bit. Frederic

I have been doing this training for three weeks now and the dynamic flow was a bit annoying and hard at start as I wasn’t understanding their benefits but now I see how it is helping me in terms of mobility and flexibility!
The app is really amazing and my backside have been improving without even realising it thanks to all the exercices
Thanks again!

Really enjoying using the app. The programs are easy to follow, with great instructional videos. I really like the fact that many workouts use minimal equipment. Makes it easy to use them on the road, when you don’t have a full squat rack/weights room set-up easily available. Plus the vids are downloadable, too.
And Cris is always updating content on the other programs available via the app.
Very happy with this investment in my surfing – one hundred percent worth the money.

Cris’s knowledge of the human body and how it can move athletically, is another level. The program caters for all levels, quickly highlighting the individual’s biomechanical and physiological strengths and weaknesses. Cris teaches you to be mindful of your circumstance. His holistic approach in the program encourages and enables the user to move more freely. Moving freely helps a closer connection with the ocean. Free flowing movement, to surf with strength, flow and grace is my goal. It’s epic.
