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.

Cris’s depth of knowledge in all areas of surfing is absolutely awesome. He always explains everything so well and how it can impact your surfing and there’s no sugar coating bull crap. I have been following Cris for years now and he only keep expanding on his repertoire.

Good solid program that’s suitable for all levels. All movements/stretches broken down well to give a good understanding of application and benefits including progressions and regression for those that require it. Has improved my overall conditioning and range of motion, which has not only benefited my surfing but overall health and everyday life.

Great system. Allowed me to work at my own pace and improve consistently over time. Cris’s delivery is powerful and he really teaches as well as guides you through, so you know instinctively what is best and when to use it. GET the program. Get all the programs – a no BS style and lots of back up advice to really get my body, mind and surfing to another level. Don’t hesitate! So much value here. One stoked old guy!!

I’m a Physiotherapist who prescribes stretching programs to patients every day. This program has changed the the way I stretch and how I treat. Stretching under load and in multiple planes as Cris describes is significantly more effective than standard passive stretching.

The older I get the more care I need for my body. This stretching helps to keep me surfing into my late 40,s and hopefully make surfing in my 50’s still enjoyable and less injuries.

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. It really take`s off the brakes.

I just wanted to thank you for the programs.. I am about 6 weeks into the stretches and am virtually pain free. Also, you can see from the pictures I’m improving in my flexibility, hands up and eyes and head focused to my target. Even at 59 years old it’s possible to regain my confidence.

I’m blown away by the app, your knowledge, the exercises, and your holistic/applicable approach to this all. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. So so grateful that I found your stuff, and I can’t wait to enlist in your other modules, too. Very impressive man. I see you’re based in Bali. My wife and I took our honeymoon there, I miss it. Take care, and please keep the content, workouts, knowledge comin’. Phenomenal!

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,

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 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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
