How Bad is Your Pop Up?
Is it setting you up to flow, or flailing in the whitewash?
Failed Pop Ups are incredibly frustrating, and ultimately limit your surfing. You don't have to fail and fumble with your takeoffs anymore. Think of how radically this could change your surfing.

I’ve been wanting to fix my bad surfing habits for quite some time, but never knew where to start. Picked up the Perfect Pop Up program in an effort to change what should have been changed long ago and I couldn’t be happier. Cris takes the time to fully explain everything in great detail, which for me is key….from joint specific stretches, to how your brain gets rewired and the fitness required in order to fix your bad habits. I’m still working on changing my bad habits but there’s definitely an improvement and I credit this program for it.

4 weeks in quarantine with nothing to do! I thought I would finally do something about my pop up. Talk about instant improvement, the perfect pop up program has delivered immediate results. Money well spent.

I have only had a couple of surfs since starting the program,but have found that already getting to my feet is becoming easier.I have surfed for over 50 years but found over the last few years,due to injuries that my standing up was becoming increasingly harder to do,so frustrating.But by following this program I am seeing benefits and am standing up a lot fluider,just need to practise it now so I can get quicker. Thankyou Cris

As an old surfer from DURBAN, South Africa, I’ve been living in the UK for the past 20 years not surfing…no much surf & the sea is freezing. But in Bristol, we now have the Wave.com wave pool…and I saw my arse there trying to surf for the first time in years.
Turns out my body physically cannot perform a pop up…something that came naturally as a young man.
Enter Surf Strength Coach.
Chris’s walk up approach, stretching & training techniques have given me back what I thought I’d lost forever…the ability to surf once more…thank you 🙏 Awesome App…highly recommend this for anyone, any age & any ability!

Cris Mills is the real deal . I absolutely love the program the videos are without a doubt my favourite part of the training program . The passion he has for helping is infectious . I can’t believe that all this training has enormously increased my strength as well. I surfed today and felt just how far my body has come along way since embracing this type of training . Had the best surf in ages .
Highly highly recommend to anyone!!!!!
Thanks for the wisdom Cris .
