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.

Been looking into the Surf Athlete Program for a while not being sure to commit or not and just started doing some muscle release exercises. After a couple of stiff sore body sessions in a row, that was it, I’d had enough of being restricted! I was going to make the change and get some fluidity/mobility back. So far I have almost completed week 2 and I can feel the benefits in that my body is starting to feel looser especially in my problem areas. I have a long way to go but if this trend keeps up I’ll be super stoked and frothing like a grom again 🙂
Cheers mate.

Yesterday, after a few month of the lockdown, I went to Berlin’s wavepool again for the first time. During the lockdown I used the program to stay in shape. But I couldnt forsee the result, its magic! Thanks to Cris’ program, my surfing got better in these terrible weeks even without spending any minute in the water. If I ever experienced magic, this was it! Thanks so much Cris

I was tentative signing up to this 12 week program, just thinking it may not suit me, but after starting I realised it really is specific to surf strength and every move goes to benefit my time in the water.

This program is by far the most concise, effective, and functional program I have ever had the privilege of participating in. There are so many gimmicky products on the market and this is NOT one of them. Kudos to Coach Cris for creating such an outstanding comprehensive program! I highly recommend any of his products. You won’t be disappointed!

I was hesitant to pull the trigger on signing up as I have tried similar things and been disappointed, but I am glad I did! I followed the blog for a while and really liked the way Cris presents things and the kind of things he talked about so figured I would give it a go. The thing I like most about this is that there has been a lot of thought, research, and testing put into it before it was put out there. So many surf training videos are just standard workout classes with “surf” put in the title. This is different, firstly the foundation behind the workouts is really well explained providing context, the movements are relevant to surfing (loads of exercises I had never heard of before!) and the workouts are balanced, with stretches, core work, cardio, breath work etc. Really enjoying this, the nice thing is you don’t need much equipment at all.

It’s brilliant! The fundamentals of surfing presented in a straight forward way. So many eureka moments already! The breakdown of fundamental movement patterns explained clearly with great video links. Once Chris takes you through the pop up and importance of hand / body posture you will never look back!

As a german Physiotherapist I can say that the Surf Athlete Program by Chris is a nice allround concept of athletic strength, coordination, mobility and recovery. Its all meant to lead to better surf skills, but because of the allround concept and the detailed description of exercises it is also a physiotherapeutic like training concept for everybody. You don’t often find trainings online that are focused that much on technical execution. So if you need something that kicks your ass…do freeletics and try to recover your injuries by yourself 😉 But if you want to see useful progress of increasing your all-day-fitness and at the same time strengthen your base for surfing, try this! Nice professional variety of training exercises.

Has really helped me find out in which areas I am lacking strength and/or mobility. Cris provides clear and thorough explanation for each exercise and for all levels. Really recommend it for off-season training.
