    Surf family here — Dad (48), Mom (older than Dad) and daughter (competitive 12 YO). We regularly use the Surf Athlete, Cardboard Surfer, Surf Skate and Perfect Pop-Up programs.

    Scott

    We’re now in the advanced beginner to advanced intermediate range. Programs have helped Dad increase hip/ankle flexibilty for faster pop ups as well as overall strength and flexibility, Mom with pop ups and looking down the line, daughter with strength/concept understanding of rail use, eyes, twisting, etc, etc. The programs have helped my daughter since I was pushing her and is still helpful now that she’s a respectable competitor. We all use a variety of aspects of the programs, have been for a few years now, and continue to revert back to various videos for recovery, in-water technique, land training/drills, etc. Hugely beneficial for us. Oh, and “Poo Man” is an active part of our vocabulary. 🙂

    Great programm to get a better understanding of the fundamentals and your own movements. Specially for landlocked surfers like myself, who want to progress outside the water.

    Great training program – it really made me look at surfing in a different way. Very simple, but hugely effective. Im a pretty average surfer, but this program is allowing me to really improve.

What You Need to Know About This Program.

  • You Don’t Even Know What Your Bad Habits Are

    Most Intermediate Surfers are “stuck” because their bad movement habits are halting their progression. You need a new lens and understanding of what GOOD surfing actually is. This program will give you a true awareness of surfing biomechanics. You can’t change anything if you don’t know what is Wrong, and what is Right.

  • It’s Your Body, Not the Board

    You need to STOP spending 1000’s of dollars on new surfboards. The board isn’t the problem, the way you move your body is the problem! This course will teach you the Fundamentals of surf movement so you can Actually Progress your surfing! Take the brakes of your surfing with GOOD technique.

  • Practice at Home Then Surf in the Water

    Do you think you’re actually going to correct your technique on the 4 waves you get, on your 1 weekend surf, for a total of 30seconds of actually standing on a surfboard? NOPE! You need a way to build repetition, to build motor memory, to FEEL the new patterns. This program is to your surfing like a driving range is to golf. Practice your surfing at home, build the pattern, become efficient, and then you can replicate it in the surf.

Cris Surfing In Mentawais 2019

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.
