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.

Most of your time in the water isn’t spent surfing, it’s spent paddling.

Implement these specific paddle training workouts and boost your endurance in the surf. Less flailing and fatigue, and more strong paddle strokes and waves.

For individuals that don’t surf frequently
The inherent physical requirements of surfing (mostly paddling), cause quick fatigue and potential frustration. I want to help you build your “work capacity”. If you can't paddle you can't surf. That's frustrating and straight-up annoying. You can fix that, and these workouts will do just that.

Your ability to sustain long duration paddle outs, the ability to endlessly move your arms, duck dive repeatedly, hold your breath, and then keep on paddling. These workouts will focus on not only creating a more robust and durable upper body, but also help to give you a buffer of endurance and paddling capacity.

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

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.

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

Skill & Art of Surfing

Endurance, Flexibility Strength, Power, Durability

Joint Mobility, Breath, Mindset, Health

Art & Skill

Better surfing is built with time in the water, developing the Art & Skill of Surfing. This is technical and coaching aspect of surfing.

Performance Aspects

Strength, Power, Endurance, & Flexibility are the base that allows you to effortlessly work on the "skill" and technique of surfing.

Surf Foundations

The Fundamental requirements for the body so that it can function optimally in the ocean.

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 you will access via the Surf Athlete App, which can be downloaded in any app store. It is intended to be used via the app on your mobile device, our web-app which you can access on your desktop or laptop, or accessed on your iPad. You'll register for the Surf Athlete App, given login information, and you can access your program whenever you want, wherever you want.

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

Can Intermediate Surfers do the program?

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.
