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 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, I’ve done it, and I’m sure most of you have as well. We all need to work on body maintenance, and help keep ourselves out of pain.

Improve Your Surfing by Building the Foundations that Surfing Requires from Your Body.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Equipment do I need?

All you will need for this program is:

Elastic Resistance
Bands Olympic Rings or Suspension Trainer
Exercise Ball (inflatable)
Foam Roller or Tennis Balls
A few Dumbbells or Kettlebells

With the equipment listed above, you can train 100% of the program, and have a fully stocked home-gym for life!
At MIMIMUM, you'll need an exercise ball, and Olympic Rings or Suspension Trainer. You'll need the rings or suspension rig to train pulling movements...it's kind of relevant to the whole paddling thing!
A cheap set of resistance bands can go a long way and opens the opportunity for paddling work, shoulder durability training, and core training.
Light dumbbells can be substituted with soup cans or bottles of water. Loading the shoulder musculature for paddling endurance doesn't take much weight, so water bottles can be easily used.
Kettlebells or some heavier dumbbells are recommended so you can apply load and resistance to the lower body exercises. A strong lower body is durable and leads into Power Training.

Can beginners do the program?

Absolutely, there are alternative and progressive movements for each level.

This training will enhance your durability, promote injury prevention, and introduce high level dynamic training.

How is the program delivered to me?

This is a digital program intended to be downloaded to your mobile device so you always have it with you during your workouts. Once you join the Surf Athlete Training Program, you will receive access to the entire program. Download everything and it’s yours forever.

Why Is Equipment Required?

There are basic equipment requirements for this training program, but with these basic tools you'll be able to train effectively for years to come. To train efficiently in the movement patterns that carry over to surfing, applied resistance is required. Take paddling for example, it's a pulling movement, so various forms of pulling need to be trained to develop endurance and durability.

A set of Olympic Rings, elastic resistance bands, or some light kettlebells will allow for a vast array of pulling exercises to ramp up your paddling endurance. Much of the Rotational Core work requires either an Exercise Ball or Resistance Bands. Developing strength and power for the lower body requires the addition of resistance so a Kettlebell becomes quite beneficial.

Training with weights or resistance won't make you into a meathead or overly bulky. What it will do is help you to develop a stronger and more capable body. If you don't have all the equipment right away, no worries. For nearly all exercises there are alternative movement options if you don't have that particular piece of equipment

The program will give you exercise regressions, smart starting points, and teach your perfect technique. You'll learn exercises and movements that you can use for the rest of your life.

Can Intermediate Surfers do the program?

You're climbing the skill ladder of surfing, and the last thing you want is for your body to limit your progression. Improve your flexibility, enhance paddling endurance, and build strength so you can effortlessly work on the skill of surfing when you get in the water.

Can Advanced Surfers do the program?

You need time in the ocean, and as much time on the wave face as possible. If you've started surfing you've felt the physical demand required from the body. This program will build the fundamentals that a surf-body requires. Get in the water and rest assured you'll be able to surf as long as the waves permit.
