What you get

FOUNDATIONAL FLEXIBILITY
LOWER BODY

Begin enhancing your flexibility by targeting specific muscles around the ankle, knee, and hip. Restore optimal flexibility to prevent injury, and allow your lower body to move the way a surfers’ body needs to move.
Detailed instructions teach you how to isolate muscles, find your restrictions, and eliminate chronic tensions. If you sit at a desk, this is where you need to start.

FOUNDATIONAL FLEXIBILITY
UPPER BODY

Stiff shoulders, bad posture, and a tight neck are a guaranteed way to create problems and pain with your surfing. Learn how to target the muscles around the shoulder, neck, and spine that are preventing your from moving the way you need to.
Enhance your paddling by improving your posture, reduce pain or chance of injury to the shoulders by releasing chronic tensions around the shoulder, and restore optimal flexibility to the upper body.

DYNAMIC STRETCHES
LOWER BODY

Lower Body Dynamic Stretches integrate movement into your stretching. This builds upon the Foundational Flexibility and is the necessary step in going from a stiff old surfer, to dynamic stretching and freedom of movement.
Discover the most effective stretches for the lower body that quickly improve your flexibility around the key areas of movement. Eliminate your stiff hips and cranky knees for good!

DYNAMIC STRETCHES
UPPER BODY

This series is the next step in improving your dynamic flexibility. The key to improving the way you move is isolating a muscle, stretching it (Foundational Flexibility), and then incorporating movement to quickly accelerate changes in flexibility.
Learn techniques to improve your rotational flexibility, which is a key foundation for healthy shoulders. Learn techniques to release stiff tissue in the upper body to use as a warmup before you surf, or some casual stretching after a long session. This series will completely change the way your upper body moves.

FULL BODY
STRETCHING SEQUENCES

This is what you as a surfer need to be working on, and this program gets you here effectively and safely. Full Body Movement Sequences that combine the fields of yoga, physical therapy, gymnastics, and science-based stretching. 
This video will give you the tools to effectively target every major joint in the body, mobilise stiff hips, undo stiff shoulders, improve rotational flexibility, and get your body moving like an athlete. This video is the game changer for the way you can move, how you warmup, and how you approach stretching from now on.

BONUS VIDEOS FOAM ROLLING AND MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

These two videos are the game changers for keeping joints healthy, speeding up your flexibility progress, and keeping yourself out of pain. You won’t have to rely on mediocre massages anymore, and constantly rubbing on stiff and achy hips, low-back, or shoulders.
These videos give you a step by step process to releasing tight tissue, eliminating joint restrictions, and simply feeling better and pain free! Nearly every single muscle in the body is covered in these two videos, and the information is absolutely simple to use, and highly effective. I guarantee you will hugely benefit from this.

EVERYTHING IS ACCESSED ONLINE
NOTHING IS SHIPPED TO YOU. 

ACCESS IT IMMEDIATELY

You’ll Get the Full Process to Identify Your Limitations

How to directly improve them, how to stretch effectively, key stretches for every joint and muscle in the body, how to integrate it into dynamic stretching, and how to keep your body moving well and pain free!

DYNAMIC FULL BODY
FLEXIBILITY

If you can’t move like this yet, don’t worry, you can get back there. This program breaks down flexibility into individual joint complexes, specific muscles, and the stretches and tissue release methods to loosen those stiff areas.
You’ll then slowly begin integrating your new flexibility into more dynamic movement positions. Think about all the extreme movements in surfing… you need to have the range to get there safely.

INJURY PREVENTION AND PAIN RELIEF

I see lots of injuries in hips, shoulders, and necks that could have likely been prevented had that person been more mobile, or not as stiff.
Key areas of the hips, spine, ankles, and shoulders need optimal range of motion, so you can move how a surfer needs to move. Isolate areas of tension, apply these techniques, and then increase your dynamic mobility in key areas of the body.

TARGET KEY AREAS OF TENSION & LIMITATION – HIPS, ANKLES, SHOULDERS, AND THE SPINE

Everyone is a bit different in what their flexibility requirements are. This program takes that into account, teaches you how to determine your key areas of flexibility or limitation, and how to target those areas with stretches.
These stretches will progress into more dynamic movements, and eventually full Stretch Sequences. Myofascial release techniques (Bonus Video), will help you speed up this flexibility process. Those techniques are also a key to staying out of pain and speeding recovery from training or surfing! Stay loose, get out of pain, move better, and keep working on your body.

MEET THE GUY WHO’S TRYING TO
HELP YOUR SURFING…

Cris Mills

Performance Coach, Massage Therapist, CHEK Practitioner

My name is Cris Mills, I operate Surfstrengthcoach.com, and work with people that want to improve their health, movement, and performance, and it’s usually so they can surf better. On a daily basis I help people and surfers train from rehab to performance. I know what a surfer needs to do to keep themselves in the ocean, and have been spreading that information through my various work online.
Improving your surfing requires improving the foundations of movement and athleticism. Flexibility is a key part of that process. I wanted to give surfers an easy resource to improve their flexibility, help to eliminate pain, and simply move and feel better.

Surfing in pain sucks as well, and I’ve done it, and I’m sure most of you have as well. Surfers, athletes, people, we all need to work on body maintenance, and help keep ourselves out of pain. This program will help teach you how to do this.

I aim to change the way physical preparedness is dealt with for surfing, and combine everything I have learned, and continue to learn, to help improve surfers body so they can stay involved with the ocean.

    bought the program and really took it to heart!

    I signed up for your app, bought a stretching program and really took it to heart. It took a while, but slowly I became more flexible, was able to recover faster and ultimately was really catching waves. Not just a wave but 20-30 a day! I have you to thank for a big part of my success. I still use the techniques I learned to be better prepared for next winter. So, don’t quit, I’m sure middle aged men everywhere take your advice to heart.

    Congratulations on 10 years of SSC!

    I signed up to your program in 2016 and bought various programs from them on.

    You programs have taught me more about my body than any other program, personal trainer or physiotherapist I have ever consulted.

    While I still use physiotherapists and other programs for rehabilitation, strength and movement I have utilised the knowledge I have learnt from SSC to be the basis for my consultations with these. I think my physio appreciates that I can explain what I’m trying to work and know what I’m having issues with. I have also explained some of the movements I learnt from you and they say keep doing it.

    What I would like to say is the noise (negative) about anything you do is probably a small percentage compared to the silent majority (like myself) who have benefited from your work.

    I will continue using your teachings and you have made my life better by being better physically as I’m sure many do.

    100% stoked with results

    I recently had a massive uptick in work hours and have found I have way less time to get into the ocean. the stretching program has helped me to keep moving and regain and retain some flexibility especially through my lower back and hips.

    I love the full body stretching videos and have become master of the tennis ball release

    You are the master of surfing physiology!

    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.

    Your program is sick!

    Dude, your programs are sick. Here’s quick story;

    College athlete, 20 years later still lifting and running, good general shape. Stiff, immobile.
    Moved to Hawaii years ago and wanted to teach him to surf while I learned. Quickly realized P90x type lifting wasn’t gonna work.

    Dude, I’m more flexible than I have been in decades. And my second-grade son and I are surfing together at beautiful Hanalei Bay. Couldn’t have done this without you, brother. Y’all ever visit Kauai, shave ice on me.

    The program has been awesome!!

    A bit of background:
    I am a 48-year-old surfing father of two keen grommets (11 and 9).
    Always been fit- have done ironmans, ultra marathons, etc.
    But the last year I started getting pains and twinges in my legs, and couldn’t run much.
    I had always done traditional stretches- straightforward and backward stuff.

    Since getting and following your program, the improvement in all physical aspects of my life has been amazing. Heaps of twisting and functional stretching and movement have been the key!

    I have zero pains or twinges in my body, I spring out of bed in the morning, and my surfing is still sharp.

    I did eight hours in the wave pool over three days, did five hours surfing last weekend, and am chasing waves every opportunity.

    I love your App and program. It’s super easy to use, workouts aren’t too long. Easy to follow, and the demo videos are great.

    So thank you, Cris! Keep up the great work you are doing. I wish you every success with it, and will continue to follow your programs. All the best mate!

    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.

    A massive thanks for your help!

    Aloha Cris
    I want to take a well-deserved moment to say a massive thanks for your help via your program, and regular Instagram motivation which has also improved my approach and outcomes to cooking too. Things have been gradually improving and coming together since I started with your program, and…….. I had an awesome surf a couple of days ago, where a few things aligned and I got a bunch of waves and rode them with more focused awareness resulting in better positioning, more confidence, quicker take-offs, more rail time, and longer rides……… so stoked!!!! It’s been many years, and I specifically attribute 99.99% of turning the clock back to my significantly improved SSC training program (including the cardboard surfer) and surf knowledge and awareness that I have learnt in the last 6 months from you
    I’m still working my way slowly through the programs so there is still heaps more knowledge and skill work to tap into and I’m loving it. Thanks heaps, and all the best,

    Best training for landlocked surfers

    Living in the middel of Germany so I`m as landlocked as you can be. Training on land (especially surf technique) is a need for me, if I want to make the most of my surftrips.

    I´ve been through the surftraining sucess and streches for surfers program, the carboard surfer and now member of the Ocean Sports Academy. I can say that all the programms and workoutplans are well designed and thought out. Working with The Surfstrength Coach had and still has a huge postive impact on my surfing and my overall health.

    Complete surf mindset

    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.
