    I started surfing 1 year ago. I surfed a lot but felt blocked. A friend told me to try your app and I discovered the Perfect Pop Up program, and it's awesome.

    Terato B.

    I already made some progress in mobility! Thank you.

    The best sport specific program available. Motivational through every step. I’m surfing more days whilst having more fun. Just generally feel fitter, happier with more motivation to surf and be active.

    I was training before and I struggled while in the water. Now, everything has changed. I am fitter both in and out the water.

    The stretching and mobility have been amazing but the technique and philosophy are game changing.

    Thr pre-assessment work thst helped memfomd and wuantify my mobility weak points.

    Your contribution is awaiting approval

    I like the quantifiable aspect of testing and re-testing and targeting specific mobility issues – as opposed to a general stretching program. This seems so much better.
