The Perfect Pop Up Program

I absolutely love the pop up program. Cris’ instructional videos helped me realise and solve a problem with my ankle. Not only has this helped my pop up but also helped my turns as I now have full range of motion with that ankle again. I can’t thank him enough!

I’ve always had problem with my Pop up as i always end up stepping more forward on the board and so far from the tail pad.
This program helped me fixed that and much more. The program is broken down into simple and easy to understand steps and shows you the importance of flexibility and strength.
by the end of phase 1, i can see improvements already and by the end of Phase 2 i was already popping up(walk up) like cris on his videos. I am excited to get back in the water and test my new pop up skill.

Huge Thanks Cris! This changes a lot!

The best things I’ve learned from your programs are that all of the movements you teach should be natural movements that our bodies should already know how to do. When I commit to training and get these new movements into my range of motion I notice that I’m able to move more freely. Another great moment has come from learning when to stop training if something doesn’t feel right and that “pain is not gain”! Although I get a great workout, I always feel more charged up afterwards and warmed up rather than defeated and needing a day of rest.

This is awesome, Cris! My hubby and I LOVE the app, tutorials, and updates. I use the Flow routine whenever I need to reset or have an active recovery day.

I’m stoked on this Pop Up Program. It’s the best overall approach to fitness for surfing that I’ve come across. The program has really helped with my speed and padding in the water as well. Very happy customer!

I’m at that dreaded beginner-intermediate level of surfing where I am trying to transition to a shorter board and get into better green waves – and I was struggling with getting a quick pop up. This program helped me with my form and also mobility limitations specific to the surfing pop up. It’s easy to do and feels great and I’m glad I purchased this!! Great investment.

Rating :

I’ve been surfing for over 30 years but had some ankle problems and this was affecting my pop-up. I had a loss in stability and was causing me to more often lose balance on steeper waves. After using the pop-up program I identified other areas of muscle tightness and area that just needed more TLC. Now I’m making more take offs. My ankle is not causing any problems and I am now focussed on the overall health of my body for surfing. Now to work on my shoulders!!!

Rating :

Great program. Goes beyond the basic of how to do a pop up, but gives you the tools to assist you in fixing your body with the right stretching or work to fix your body parts that are stuck with limited movement or flow. Worth the small investment.

This program is so good. I felt my hips and back held my pop up back. I felt too stiff and slow and didn’t really know where to begin to
sort it out. This program was spot on. I used it for a month before my latest surf trip to Portugal and really felt the difference. Everything worked smoother and I had better confidence ,was more calm and caught more waves! Strongly recommend.

Rating :

Big fan of this program, particularly the focus on mobility. The mobility evaluations were especially helpful. I was able to establish that it was really my hips that were my limiting factor rather than my hamstrings and calves. Digging in on the hips has improved range of movement quickly. I should also add that the strength training is very effectively targeted toward improving pop ups.

Hey Cris it has been a long road but believing in the process I am now starting to see results! Thank you so much for all of your help! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Rating :

Love the program, particularly the combo of science stuff and practical surf exercises to improve muscles and tissues for improved flexibility, strength, and range of motion. I not only like Cris’ approach, but I like the way he makes himself available to respond to questions, videos, etc. in an encouraging way. Hey, the rest is up to you! Thanks again, bra!

Thanks for your help! As an athlete, I have learned how to make minor adjustments to my technique and routines that lead to huge improvements in my performance. Because surfing was always something I did on the side, I never invested time in learning some of these fundamental techniques. I always just kind of felt my way through things, well that hasn’t worked as well with surfing. This module has given me the head knowledge I needed to make huge improvements in my pop up. While I still have a ways to go to reach my goals, I am confident in this part of the puzzle. Thanks again!

Rating :

Really appreciate how the program broke down the process into easy-to-understand steps that made a world of difference. Highly recommended

I live in the city, so if I want to surf, I need to drive at least 2-3 hrs, that means that I cant surf everyday, and just on weekends. Saying that, keep in shape during the week is key for a good performance. This program has been really useful to complement the lack of surf hours and avoid loosing endurance. Also, this program is not only about working out, but the complete mindset of surf, telling you things like ´why we have to do certain exercise to improve pop up or bottom turn, etc´, so you start thinking about your future movements for the next session while you´re working out. Thanks Cris.

A little background for others see if this could benefit them. Grew up surfing my whole life, last 20 years I have lived inland away from the coast. I am 60 and wanted to get back into surfing. I get to surf once a quarter, so hard to improve my surfing. My main problem was popping up, once I was up, I was able to ride the wave pretty good. I started the program and it was able to pin point my weaknesses, and I began his program to work on. I have been consistent in my workouts two times a week the past 3 months. I went surfing at the BSR Surf Park in Waco, TX this past weekend and did much much better in my pop-ups. It is nice to improve even when I don’t get much wave time in.

Rating :

When I initially started this training, my primary focus was on improving my surfing pop up which for some reason had gone to custard in the last 12 months. Probably a combination of ageing and just bad habits plus never having had a good tutor like Cris to sort it out too. I’ve mostly been a competitive runner all my life and surfing has been my part time passion to provide mental stress relief and it’s just such a great sport. As soon as I started into the pop up program, my running improved!? Great side effect!! The quality of this program cannot be underestimated and Cris’s inspirational and informative emails are also right on the mark for not only surfing but all aspects of your life. You cannot underestimate how much of an impact this has had for me and my wife and kids are probably sick of hearing me rave on about it but I’ve never been involved in anything even close to this quality. The app and/or website are both very well designed and very easy to use, the videos for every exercise or stretch are very clear, it’s hard to make a mistake with this and if you do have any feedback, Cris responds to emails too. If there was a 6 star rating, it would be given here.

Rating :

Cris delivers a comprehensive and holistic approach with real passion and energy! He wants us to improve and it shows. I love Cris’s authenticity, attention to detail and professionalism. I have multiple health issues that have slowed down my surfing – since working with SSC, my goals are more defined, awareness and knowledge are improved. Highly recommended! Thanks Cris

I’ve been a lifelong surfer with extensive experience in SoCal, Hawaii, Fiji, and Mexico. However, after having life events come along, such as a wife and kids, desk jobs, the weight from my desk job and lack of activity took a toll on me. After implementing an exercise and weight loss regime, I was still having a hard time practicing my pop ups at home. I hired Chris to help me diagnose the issue. It was worth every penny. I my case flexibility was the issue, and Chris helped me get it sorted out. So whether you choose the pop up program, or hire Chris for a customized plan like I did, he will help you out and get you ready for your next surf trip.

I was struggling with my pop-ups. At first I thought it was just a confidence thing. Turns out, it was mostly my poor technique and conditioning; and this wasn’t something that I could fully acknowledge until I started the program. The popup technique program has allowed me to reevaluate my popup technique, and also greatly improve my body conditioning to support my surfing. Each day I have noticed improvements in my pop-up to the point now where my confidence has increased and I can just focus on enjoying surfing waves and improving other aspects of my surfing. And it’s not just the videos in the program that are awesome, it’s the ongoing support through direct contact with Cris that is appreciated. I highly recommend this program to anyone who surfs at any level!

Rating :

Great breakdown and step by step explanation provided by Cris to improve your pop up.
I have found the exercise program to support the explanation is tailored perfectly.
The bonus is you feel better overall.

Rating :

As a lifelong surfer who is now 55 years old and had both hips replaced the struggle was real. My frustration level was through the roof. The results were not immediate for me but the more I did the program the more I started seeing some muscles and muscle memory come back. By no means is my pop up perfect every time but I am really feeling the results and I am now getting out of the water with a smile on my face instead of a frown.Last Sunday was my best sesh in many moons! Thanks Cris and my core is really feeling the results as well. Thanks for the help physically and mentally ! You rule!

Rating :

Solid, well thought out approach to the pop up. Fitness and repetition play their part, but knowing the mechanics to work on is simply very important to this key aspect of surfing, especially when you are beginner/intermediate level. I’d recommend it…

I have been using the free workout in the app for a couple of weeks and was really enjoying it, when the covid lockdown came I decided to get the pop up program to iron out a few little bad habits that have crept into my take off. WOW, after two weeks I can really feel the benefits, I would say 100 % better. Easy to follow instructions that actually make sense. Commit to it tho, work hard and reap the rewards.

Rating :

Great program that not only teaches perfect technique but teaches you about your mobility and how to improve your mobility to help your surfing.
I’ve used this program as have my kids and the program has helped us all improve our Pop Ups.
Get on it!

Using the Perfect Pop Up program helped improve some strength issues after rolling my ankle. I was having front foot Strength issues and this helped focus on flexibility and improving some bad technique.

As I’ve got older and had less time to surf, I started to struggle with my flexibility and agility which affected my surfing. After a recommendation from a friend I purchased The Perfect Pop Up. I found the program improved my issues but also helped with my strength.

Rating :

Hard to believe after almost 30 years of surfing I needed to relearn how to get it up but it’s true. Aging and osteo arthritis have taken their toll and after a couple of cold winter months out the water I struggle to stand up. Embarrassing to say the least… My cousin turned me on to Chris’ videos and my wife scored me the series for Christmas and after a month of getting in to and using the series my pop up is back! Chris’ simple and logical stretching concepts have helped and now I’m hooked and will be using it for overall body health and limberness. Thx Chris!

Rating :

This program and Cris has helped me with my health and fitness in and out of surfing! He gives you so much information, drills, plans, videos and motivation. I could tell immediately this program want some ‘get rich quick’/social media influencer bs. Thanks so much! Every penny was worth it.

I have been surfing for a long time but, as I have gotten older, my popups were getting worse. For months I felt like I watched every YouTube video I could find about popups – specifically shortboard (off the knees) popups. To be clear, I could (and still can) do an “explosive pop” to land on both of my feet. But I noticed that when I was in the water, I was missing too many good waves from a popup that didn’t land my feet in just the right places. I was looking for a more consistent popup because doing all the work to paddle into a position to catch a good wave and blowing it SUCKS.

When I first started using this program, I was kind of unsure/bummed out because it seemed like he was just teaching the old “chicken wing” method. If you are worried about that, don’t stress. As I kept following the program I realized that the “walk up to popup” program is designed to make popups way smoother/easier (meaning less blown opportunities to ride) and that the “chicken wing” naturally progresses to a non-chicken-wing popup as you add speed.

Solid program with all of the strength and mobility training required to help anyone popup effectively.

Bought one. Liked it so much, I bought 2 more.

Fantastic program! Cris is extremely knowledgeable and explains the content in a way that is easy to grasp and apply!

Rating :

I have been trying to become a better surfer for many years. I chose the pop up program because I could recognise in myself that I had major limitations that prevented me from improving my skill, ability and enjoyment of surfing any further. I absolutely recommend the 6-week program to everyone even if you don’t surf because what I found when completing the program was a better overall health and movement which improved my surfing, running and enjoyment of everyday life. The lastest update is even better than the first which I loved. It’s not just a token update but a deliberate action by Cris to improve advice, use new language (of which thinking of it as a walk up has really helped me) along with intervention of detailed breakdown of professional surfer pop-ups. I really recommend the program and I plan to purchase others to get even more growth.

I’m stoke to get those very good workouts which are following me everyday and give me strengh but also focus on my goals.
thanks to the team!!

I watched almost every ‘pop-up’ up video I could find online and was still not getting my pop-up to click. There is NOTHING I have seen online that describes the theory of the pop-up like Chris does. My improvements were instant and it’s really accelerated my surfing.

As for the strength & conditioning component, I worked as an S&C coach for BJJ for several years and can speak from a place of experience that Chris REALLY KNOWS HIS SHIT!

His knowledge is spot on and his delivery is excellent. I cannot recommend this program enough. Buy it, use it, catch more waves

I’m two weeks in and I can feel a difference in the water. Its fucking great

Got out for my first surf today since checking out your Pop up videos. All the tips you cover in those videos are so good and different to what I’ve had going on in my head all these years! Creating stability from pelvis pressed onto board, legs squeezed together and arching spine while paddling in, instead of slumping them down and forward, made so much difference today and the walk up is magic! Thanks heaps!

Rating :

I still have a long way to go fitness-wise but I’m working on that using your program, as well as a local surfer’s gym. I also love that you keep updating the programs with refreshed and new content! 

So a big thank you, and I hope I’ll be able to redeem that failed Samoan trip at some point!

You are an absolute legend. I have been thoroughly enjoying this program and my surfing has gone through the roof.

I have have been seeing a difference , such as mindset into sprinter position , giving me more fluidity in movement upright on the board , no way yet.perfect , but getting a lot more enjoyment in the surf. I have learnt so much about body mechanics, such us mobility, skill and strength to the improvement on the technique. the end of the course the 30 minute video is gold.

You and I spoke a few years ago – I write for an endurance sports website (mainly focused on triathlon, mtb, xc ski, and distance running). I’m in good shape from all of the above activities, but I knew a better pop-up would really help my surfing, so I dove in and bought your program – worth every fucking penny. Great stuff. I really like what you’ve done in your pop-up program,

Hey Cris, my name is Chris Campbell. The program is excellent and has really helped every aspect of my surfing. Specifically, the Perfect Pop Up improved the strength and flexibility of my weak and tight muscles so I could be smoother with my pop up. So yes I am a customer. But I am also an exercise physiologist. Because of my profession, I can really appreciate your expertise. You are incredibly good at what you are doing as a surf strength coach. I just wanted you to know that. Hang in there, man. These are tough times. My wife and I are really struggling too. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

I’ve been in 2nd lockdown in vicco and have had no surf time. i did your pop up course in first lockdown and found it not only great to fix my. pop up but an excellent workout while all gyms were closed. i have also bought a sweet 7″ zak ringmaster with loads of volume to help the intial movement with more stability. then taken that fixed movement back to my 6’4 with sik results. thanks again

Thanks Cris, awesome, you should know that because of your work and communicative skills you are part of a group of people who have transformed my life over the last 5 years…big time bro Much gratitude I can’t believe I’ve only been surfing 5 months!! We have so many years ahead.

Hi Cris, my wife and 8yo daughter gave me your program for Christmas. Since we all surf together it was really a gift for all of us. We’re watching your program as a family…it’s awesome. We usually watch a video or two on the program before we hop on our boards and practice and critique each other on those drills. No more big effort pop ups. Just to land with feet in the wrong position and have to readjust on a critical part of the wave! It’s wild to get this knowledge after surfing nearly 30 years and see how much more fun we can have in the water by being intentional about our focus for that session. It is such a great asset for my coaching my daughter too. It’s crazy to go out in the water and see how few people really pay any attention to their technique. Glad we’re not in that camp any more. You’ve really got some incredible programs and have put a massive amount of work into putting them together. We appreciate that work, the improvements its already bringing to our surfing and even drawing us closer as a family.

Enjoyed perfect pop up. The concept of using my left knee as a lever to get my right foot first on the stomp pad and then walking up was revolutionary. I learned in the 60s as a long boarder and as I have transitioned to shorter and shorter boards I was not getting good results jumping to my feet, which were often in the wrong place. Now getting to my feet smoothly on a 6’0″ Pyzel almost all of the time. Kudos!

Hey Cris, been smashing the Perfect Pop Up for about 10 weeks now and have never been as flexible as I am now absolutely frothing on it. I’ve doubled up on phase 2 deliberately but it’s working a treat man. Thanks for taking the time to put that content on the app it’s seriously changed my surfing.

Your program is epic! I use your program for flexibility run through ensuring I roll out my muscles and move my joints properly along with various workouts of his for home workouts when I can’t leave the house. I also do yoga for night time/morning time stretch and go to the gym 2-3 times a week. All in moderation is my belief, don’t go pump iron like a body builder and get massive, no harm in getting a solid muscle mass to remain strong and healthy.

Love what you’re doing and how you changed my perspective on surfing and fitness

Thank you for your help with my surf training. I decided to learn to surf three years ago at age 50. I found your videos on YouTube and they were the only ones with solid science-based information all of which were completely in tune with what I believed. The thing that was a game-changer for me was the perfect pop-up. You gave so many different examples but they all lead to the same place. When I got to my Surf With Amigas retreat in southern Costa Rica a lot of the girls were struggling with their pop up’s. For the first time, I was not one of them. My pop-ups were so fluid and smooth it was hard to believe that after years it was one of the things I was doing well. I actually was able to give the girls some tips I had learned from you I also recommended you and the course to a few of the girls there. As a CSCS who is a Myofascial release therapist assured them that you were the real deal. I told them how impressed I was by your cautions and advice as to when to see a healthcare practitioner. I really just wanted to thank you for your help. I love your positivity and the supportive vibe you have. I have really enjoyed watching your videos progress and this website is totally rad. Keep sending all the healthy positive vibrations out there. It makes a huge difference and wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated it. Peace and love my friend.

Hi Cris, I have a NASM certification but my flexibility is limited and I realized that during my first surf lesson and immediately bought a few of your products. They work. Your email speaks to me. I am just really getting into the programs. I have been doing some new things I learned in terms of flexibility and dude you are a rockstar. Great communicator, first class instruction. Well thought out. I can’t begin to compliment you enough and I wish we were neighbors, you are my kind of guy. So yes, I am in, all the way. Thank you for creating a system that is bringing joy to my life.

This program is a bit expensive but I added it on to the Surf Strength program so the adder was well worth it. You’re not going to find information like this anywhere on the internet unless you have a good surf coach that is highly knowledgeable in kinesiology. Cris knows his shit. I’d consider myself hovering in the lower percentile of the advanced range but towards the end of my sessions I’d feel like an absolute kook because my hips would lock up when I’d get cold and fatigued. I’ve been battling tight hips/hip impingement for many years now and thought I had it under control except for when I’d get stiff and cold in the lineup and go for my pop up – I could hardly get my front foot under me with out intense pain in my front hip, which usually resulted in a fall. After watching this program I realized the problem was that my glutes/hamstrings were super tight and knotted up which prevented hip flexion. Before I only focused on loosening up my hip flexors but I had it all wrong. I have only had this program for a little over a month now and have noticed significant improvement in not only my hips but also my technique. I’ve always had a similar form as Cris calls “the walk-up” but I never practiced it on land and struggled on my back hand because sometimes (on hollow racing beach breaks) my torso would be facing the beach rather than down the line. If you’re self motivated and open for change, then you will like Cris’ programs. This is not for the person that wants a quick fix and forget about it. Thanks Cris for making this information readily available to guys like me who don’t have the time or money for a personal coach or trainer.

This program is worth way more than what it sells for. BUT to get the most of out it, you will need to adjust your behavior and expectations a bit, especially if you have been surfing for a while. After 15 years of doing it wrong, I had some seriously engrained bad habits to undo, but I stuck it out and I am really glad I did. First, don’t expect that you will magically nail the perfect pop up the next time in the water after following the program for a couple of weeks. You might, but that is not a reasonable expectation. Prior to following the program, on a shortboard, my pop ups took a lot of energy and would get me in a decent posture to surf about 30% of the time. I hated training for them on land. I was stuck. This program unstuck me. My pop ups on a longboard improved very quickly after starting the program, but I still struggled on the shortboard. But at least, I now actually enjoyed training for it, and that helped a lot. I just stuck with the program and eventually everything started coming together on the water. So, be reasonable in what you expect and be patient. As Cris says: trust the process. As to behavior, if you struggle following the program, try to approach this a little different. At first, I was trying to follow the program to the letter. But that did not work for me. At all. it would take me an hour to get in my workout clothes, do the exercises for the day, shower. That was just taking too long. I would end up doing it once a week at best. But I could see how each exercise fit in and how combined they could make a difference. So I just started doing what I felt like doing whenever I had a few minutes: 10 minutes for lunch? squeeze in a set of Mobility and Flexibility. 20 minutes free before dinner? squeeze in 2 set of strengths. After 2 weeks of doing it this way, I could already see a big difference. Now I do the mobility & flexibility exercises at least once a day, either as part of a warm up for surfing or for helping me wake up, or for stretching after a long day. And yes that includes 10 or so reps of pop ups. and I enjoy doing them. This program has not only improved my surfing and my enjoyment of it but it has improves my fitness overall. So stop fretting and reading reviews, just get it. It’s worth every penny.

Big fan of the attention detail. Super helpful, gonna be stoked to get back in for sure.

Walk up! It is the greatest advice I have ever received! I stopped jumping like a monkey on my board, feeling embarrassed by my own style.
Everything starts to be more fluid. As I pop up I get more speed.
I’m a lower intermediate surfer, living in the Swiss alps, practicing one/two day per week (yes: now we can surf also in Switzerland having a brand new surf garden in Sion!!)
I was stuck! I was trying to do some progress, but I was late on my take-off, and too much in a snowboard/side position.
With your advice, everything is getting more natural. I’m doing half the effort, and I don’t feel any more like a sort of robokop!
I’ll keep on training and practicing the exercises on a daily basis, but for the moment I have to say that your method is amazing!!

As an aging surfer with loads of previous sports injuries/surgeries, I decided to try the “Surf Athlete” program in an attempt to work through some knee/back/shoulder issues that were keeping me out of the water. I was pleasantly surprised at how much better I felt in terms of strength and flexibility within just a few weeks. I was impressed at how comprehensive the workout was and how the stretches, flow movements, and strength training helped me feel way better functionally, not just for surfing but for my other recreational activities as well. Highly recommended!

Rating :

After one week mainly tissue work and stretching and techniques and I felt amazing in the water! In fact honestly haven’t felt that good in a while. I couldn’t believe it.

In fact as in my review, one of the dudes I surfed with asked if I am on a training programming after our surf because I was all over it.

Been a bit slow on the strengthening stuff as I have a shoulder issue.

I’ve been surfing for years without realising how many bad habits I had picked up along the way. The Pop-Up program really helped me to reevaluate my technique.

Signed up as I wanted to smooth out my pop-up, get more consistent and feel in more control. I can honestly say I could FEEL the difference after just one week. More waves, more speed, more control, and most importantly, more FUN! The technical advice is illuminating, and the assessments have helped me pin point the areas to focus on. Total game changer for me and has allowed me to focus on building on this and looking forward to further progress my surfing. I guess a good pop-up is more likely to set you up for a good wave!!! Game changer. Thank you Cris!

Man, you thought of everything, and what’s more, the sequence is so well-thought out. People can learn the physiology and the techniques to gain (or regain) proper range of motion and flexibility to slowly strengthen the joints and muscles.

You are the master of surfing physiology. Your video instruction is so succinct. Fully explained, clearly demonstrated. Very impressive. Plus, you’re just a regular dude who loves the ocean and gives what he knows back to help the rest of us keep moving at a higher level. And you do it all with a genuine enthusiasm.
