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.

Bodyweight surf training.
Biggest impact is flexibility in training programs. When you don’t have much time just use short training. if you feel weak in paddling just use the specific training video. We don’t have excuses to miss a day of training.

Ive used the app for a few years now & my health & fitness has increased significantly.
I have a decent daily stretch routine & at the moment I use the paddle endurance & bodyweight programs for movement, strength, hip mobility & flexibility. This all helps me stay surf ready when i have weeks of no surf due to working offshore on rotations. It has also given me more confidence on surf trips and when a decent swell runs through, the breathwork allows me to feel more relaxed in bigger waves of consequence knowing the extra tools i now have in my bag to deal with situations. Next on the agenda is some technique training. Not had much ise out of the surf skate in the UK winter weather but plenty of surf. Thanks for helping keep the stoke Cris 🤙
Cris & his team have helped me on my journey answering questions & pointing me in the right direction when I wasn’t sure what to improve next. There’s so much info out there it can be a minefield & sometimes it’s best just to grab a mid length & go have fun!

Regular execution of the training program/s (every day)
I am specifically thankful for the recovery and breathing execises – i was not aware how much i need them. Recovery execises and stretches after surf – and the following day i am like a new one 😀 Rolling balls now are in the daily use and I recommend them everyone. My knee after three surgeries – none of the exersises have caused the pain that made me stop to train or to replace any of the exercises – all thanks to step-by-step advancing of the effort through the programs. I was doing lots of sports and still doing, but i am happy to find the programs that i can execute every day anywhere and which helps my body to stay healthy and better prepared for surfing where I am always trying to become better and pushing my limits. Many thanks! <3

The Bodyweight program I have finished already once, so this is my second round.
The benefits I gained:
My surf schedule is going surfing twice a year for one to two weeks. Using your training gave me surf weeks without pain and aches. 2022 I was a fit surfer (beginner haha).
And more important it showed me also where to improve and making me an aware surfer.
Until last year it was more luck then skill. No I know a little better and progress will show up hopefully in 2023.

Noticable strength and mobility gains
I’m finishing up Phase 2 of the Bodyweight Surf Athlete program and all I can say is I wish I had started training like this years ago. I can already feel the mobility gains in my hips when I pop up, my T spine when I paddle AND my favorite is that I wake up feeling ready to surf.
For years I’ve been doing more intense circuit type training (CrossFit) and some daily mobility. it kept me in shape but left me too sore to surf or I’d have to spend a while calming down sore muscles and warming up just to get out there.
This program is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I get a good workout that focuses on mobility, core and other strength to really prioritize my surfing. Phase 1 was easy but a good reset for me, I love how the movements progressed into Phase 2. For me, I typically tack on a little more core and short strength circuit a few days a week. I’m also impresssed with the app interface.
My only question is, what will I do next? Keep cycling through the Phases or will there be a Level 2 version?

A lot of AHA moments!
It’s very easy to find a lot of AHA moments since I’ve started the program 2 months ago.
I’m a middle-aged overweight man (49) that just started to try to surf 1 year ago. The first step was to learn to popup. Prior to the program, my popup was very ugly involving my knee and a lot of contortions. Now I’m not sure it is pretty, but at least it is quick and effortless. I can report after a week in Salvador that I can finally popup efficiently and quick enough to actually surf a green wave. Now I need to learn to balance and turn 🙂
Also, the exercise helps a lot to gain the strength and flexibility necessary. I’ve seen a great improvement since I started.

It's worth every penny, probably more!
Cris, stellar program. I bought the complete set of packages and have been going through them all since. I’m in my 40s and current landlocked. The mobility and strength exercises have had a huge impact on my overall well being. The foundation training especially opened up a few things for me. Anytime I go through and rewatch a video I get something new out of it. I’ve been active my whole life, so I took your advice and cherry pick pieces out of each video to work into my routine and change it up. A little foundation work and stretching/mobility drills 6-7 days a week and added in body weight 4-5 of those days consistently. Workouts are between 15-45 minutes each day. Days I’m feeling rough I stick to breath work, and mobility. I’ve yet to jump into the nutrition, but years of bad habits take time to break. Thank you for putting all of this info in one place. I’m happy to let anyone know it’s worth every penny, probably more, (good on you for knowing your audience, we all want to spend our money on our next surf excursion). Like anything else though, if you don’t put in any work, you won’t get any out. Keep up the good work.

You are a master!
Just like your original series, I am disecting and absorbing these new programs. I started the STS series all over again (it had been a couple years) a month ago so I am still on the “Learn” tab in Bodyweight Athlete … haven’t even gotten to the “Train” tab. There’s just so much in there. Articular rotations (CARS=Awesome!), skeletal routines, mobility evaluation tests (super valuable), stretching of course, and TISSUE RELEASE! 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.
When you open up the surf trips again, I’d be all in, if you have space for a 62-year-old guy shortboarder who can still bust a move on occasion. One more trip to the Ments is on my bucket list, or maybe just as far but not as remote or intense, Maldives! Just let me know when!

I am an experienced surfer and an avid searcher for surfing tutorials to upgrade my style and technique.
The Surf Strength Coach is by far the most complete, detailed, and comprehensive program I have ever come across. I bought several programs including the Surf Skate, the Perfect Pop Up, Surf Athlete, and the Body Weight Training. I’ve been training constantly I can say that I and my buddies have already noticed a big improvement in my surfing. I feel more loose, more fit, more aware, and more confident than ever. I highly recommend the programs. They are effective l and worth the price you pay. Differently than many other bullshit coaching programs I unfortunately acquired before I knew Surf Strength Coach.

This is sick!
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.
Bought two of programs and do them at the same time. I do the Surf athlete one and the new bodyweight. I combined them. So I do the two lifting days from the athlete and the three workout ones from the body weight one. Also do plenty cardio and stretching.
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.

Keep doing what you are doing!
Thank you for everything you are putting out. Been surfing for 20 years and absolutely sucked. Last year (pre-pandemic) I decided to get my shit together and really focus on it, so I bought your program. I’ve always been a runner and weightlifter but that never translated well into the water. After a solid year of doing your program and getting out in the water every chance, I could get I’ve improved significantly so thank you!
Also, I was watching when you were taking questions and answering them, and something you said really stuck with me. Someone asked what to do to get over the “fear” of dropping in on bigger waves and you said something along the lines of “You just need to keep taking a pounding until you get used to it.” So I paddled out into surf that was a little above my abilities that I normally wouldn’t (about 6 feet) and totally got worked for about 2 hours. Didn’t catch a damn thing. But got way more comfortable with being uncomfortable. Between that and the breathing exercises, I noticed the other day that my mentality had switched from “Please don’t eat shit” to “Paddle paddle paddle I’m going to catch this”.
Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing. It is a dope program!

The Bodyweight program is awesome
The Bodyweight program is awesome. Really! I learn so much.
Even if, at my level, it’s really challenging. In fact, I’ve never do strength training before. So even week one of phase one is pretty intense for me, lol. And I spent quite a bit of time in the water lately (all sports combined), so I haven’t gone further yet.
But, I’m aware that it’s a process, so I follow my rhythm and I am pretty confident for the rest. So, when I can, I do the training every two days (two days in a row is too intense).
And it also allowed me to see my flexibility limitation (I’m really stiff), like in the quadruped to bear mouvement for example. So that at the same time I try to apply as much as possible the stretches for surfers program.
So yeah, pretty challenging from the outset, but I already see some progress. I noticed an improvement in my supports and “their precision” even in other sports like windsurfing. I think exercises like isometric squat, lateral lunge, or deep lunge isometric have something to do with it.

I have a long history of training and racing at an elite level and through that have always sort to look after myself. I am now in my late 40s. I have surfed all my life. After retiring from my sport I have become increasingly passionate about surfing

The program has been awesome!!
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!

Hey Cris, just wanted to say thank you. Your encouragement in one of your videos seems to have been the motivation that got me to be serious about losing weight and I have lost 20 lbs (215 to 195). Turns out EVERYTHING (with the possible exception of duck diving) in surfing is easier with less weight: paddling, generating speed, popping up…. Thanks man.

I’ve gotten pretty close to my skill levels and fitness from my younger days, plus corrected several bad habits/mechanics in the process. Seems like everything I’ve tried of yours is gold, especially for someone who has had to come back from a pretty serious injury. Keep up the great work. All the best, Scott

Thanks heaps
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,

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!

You’re a legend.
Your surf strength products are the best thing that happen to me in 2020. I believe I have purchased every one product you offer. I’m healthier, more flexible, and surf better than I ever have. Because if that, 2020 was all that bad for me… basically because of your online programs. If you are ever is San Diego reach out and we can grab a surf. You’re a legend.

thank you and keep up the good work!
Coach, you probably get tons of testimonials already, but quickly I want to say that your program is simply awesome. I have done now first 4 weeks of the program and I am already feeling big differences in my body. Earlier I have done crossfit, climbing, yoga etc, but none of these prepare body for the waves or paddling. Also the surfskate program has opened new ideas. I am 43 years old and have surfed only for 3 years but the plan is to keep surfing in my 60s, and with this stuff it is possible.

Like it!
I really like the breath work. It is definitely something I struggle with and at 51 have tended to avoid surfing past about 2-3 ft because I had a couple of bad experiences with wipe outs and being held under. Today I went for a surf and it was a good 2 – 3 ft (live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney) and wiped out and was held under. I could feel the panic rising, then the breath training kicked in. I focused on holding my breath and started counting and stopped fighting the wave. I popped out of the water at about 8 seconds (like I said small waves). The breath training is building my confidence to be able to surf conditions that I would have avoided. Don’t get me wrong I ain’t ever gonna be a big wave surfer, but I now have a way of feeling better about surfing slightly bigger waves. I now look forward to the 4 footers.

Can’t go without your app!
I’m a lifeguard on Oahu and an avid stand up boogie/surfer, all of your videos and knowledge has changed the game tremendously. I love sharing all your videos with my coworkers (normally they too cool for yoga or stretching but when they see and hear you, it’s a different package entirely 😆) right on for using your knowledge to help people like me with the long game, longevity!

Thanks for everything
Just to let you know your videos/workouts have made a difference in my surfing. I guess you could say I’m a conscious incompitent and am making the transition to a shortboard now.

Legend!
I just want to say thanks for the time and care you put into all the videos. I love the attention to detail.
I am recovering from a knee injury (4 years ago:) and my body has never righted itself since. After only 2 weeks of the bodyweight course, I’m getting a deeper understanding of where the imbalances lie. In the short term, I’m already feeling stronger in the water.

An awesome workout program!
I´m generally not one for reviewing solely out of pure laziness, but I am delighted to make an exception for such a fantastic product. This program is the best investment I have made for my surfing – by far.
I am an intermediate surfer not spending nearly as much time in the water as I would like. I’ve perfected my paddling but maintained an awful technique on the wave face. This program has unlocked a path to progression in a way endless YouTubing just won’t. After a vast amount of ‘aha’ moments, I have a clear trajectory for taking my surfing to the next level. Excellent work. Just TAKE MY MONEY!
