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.

If you’ve been looking for a system of movements and training to follow on land to prepare for your surf time, this is THE app to get. The experience has been transformative, especially the instructional videos throughout the various programs that tell you exactly why you’re doing what you’re doing, discovering your limitations, and using your training to work on those. The most insightful videos for me were around fixing the popup. I’ve watched dozens of other tutorials on the popup, but this one hits home and helped me (finally) discover what I’ve been doing wrong in my first 40 surfing sessions to date. After watching the video, I understood what it means to be fluid and what my back foot/leg should look like. I’m excited to get further into the Surf Athlete Program.

Started with the Pop-up program and now on to the Surf Athlete program. Huge improvement in mobility. I’m in my late 30’s surfing smaller boards and bigger waves with more confidence than ever. Highly Recommend!

Having been a healthcare professional for more than 30 years I am familiar with the material Cris has layed out in his program. No doubt, Cris has done his homework and presented a well organised, comprehensive training. My confidence level has gotten a much needed boost as I prepare for an upcoming surf trip. I especially appreciate the personable, open-hearted encouragement offered in his commentary. Thank you Cris!

Started surfing 1,5 years ago. Sadly most of the time I’m landlocked and have not the possibilities to enter the water. Started with the strechtching program and now I’m into the pop up program since the next surftrip is coming. Huge improvement in mobility and flexibility and got to now some new workouts. Perfect in combination with my other endurance sports I’m already in. Can highly recommend it :).

I have a surf trip coming up in about six months and I live in an area where I cannot surf very often. I need to get in shape . Right now, I’m in week three of the 12 week surf program and it has been fantastic. I look forward to doing the workouts each week. There are so many small exercises in each workout, it keeps you motivated and before you know it, the workout is over. I am really enjoying doing this program each week.
