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.

Chris leaves you with no doubt what is required for holistic health in terms of the art of surfing; this program is well laid out, easy to follow and introduces a fresh approach to “fitness” that will benefit all surfers; regardless of experience (and bad habits)…
Been following Chris for a long time; it great to be able to purchase his mind for so little 🙂

Very impressed with the wrap around nature of this program and Cris’ obvious enthusiasm for his cause! Only 3 weeks into the Surf Athlete program and I am yet to fault it – applicable, practical and targeted. Yet to get stuck into the Cardboard surfer but even from perusing the videos I am already thinking about the movements when in the water which is half the battle no doubt!

The knowledge and information shared in his programs are invaluable and truly helped me gain perspective on the importance of mobility and strength training as they apply to surfing, and really on just being more fit in general. I realized the benefits from his training within the first few weeks and I know I’ll use these techniques for as long as I can. Amazing and well worth the price!

I had a free trial of the program first and was really impressed with the quality and well thought structure of the exercises. No-nonsense approach, no chitty-chatty bla bla, straight to the point, concise and precise – that’s how I like it! I’m not an expert in body movement physiology or physiotherapy but I have a medical and anatomical background and you can clearly see that Cris knows his stuff. On top of that I was surprised how user-friendly his app is – I can easily click through the parts that I need, track my progress (my pop up program had some bugs in the beginning though) and I love having a visual overview with thumbnails of my circuits and just click through them instead of scrolling back and forth through a long video with redundant information like I’ve experienced in other programs. That really appealed to me and during lockdown I finally made the purchase of a package plus the cardboard surfer – after 3 weeks of structured training (alternating between the surf athlete and the pop up program whilst implementing some technique of the cardboard surfer) and being back to work as a doctor and busy mum of two small children I must say that I can’t rate this program high enough! I get up early to do my workout before work and I’m looking forward to it the evening before already, no matter how tired I am – that has never happened before with any other workout programs. I can feel the benefits already, I’m feeling flexible and supple, not stiff anymore and I love the fact that I “feel” the effects of a full training in my muscles on the day after yet not being exhausted or worn out. I can’t wait to see how all those benefits might translate into the water, but I think I can’t go without this program and the app anyway. I’m so happy that I finally found my perfect fitness routine! Thanks , Cris!

I’m loving this program! Even after just a few weeks, my mobility has drastically improved and I overall feel so much better than before. The explanations and focus of each exercise are incredibly beneficial. I’m looking forward to taking this to the water!

Recommend the Surf Athlete so highly. After 4 weeks I move better, feel better and surf better.
Hope to go on a men’s trip with Cris in the future to learn more

Bought the package deal a few weeks ago and I’m super stoked. The program builds really well and actually has my pop up getting better (ive surfed for 30 years but injuries had me struggling and not wanting tobsurf). This program is full of detail and great surf-related moves. Cris is also really fast to respond to emails. 5 Star!

James Mahler –
The program and exercises are excellent for training for surf. I bought the previous program before the app was developed and even though that program was great too, the simplicity and ease of the app set up with the new program is so much easier to follow and keep up with which means I’m more likely to stick with it. Great program and looking forward to the rest.

It’s an incredible training program. I am thrilled with the exercises, they are simple to do and very well explained to do it right. It’s a challenging program that progress through the weeks. You certainly improve your mobility range and core strength.
Completely recommended if you really want to move your surf to the next level.
Enjoy!!
