Everything You Need to Surf with More Flow
No matter your starting point, this program teaches you how to restore real, usable flexibility — joint by joint, muscle by muscle — so you can move better, feel better, and surf better.
Fundamental Surf Stretches
Unlock tight hips, stiff shoulders, and a frozen spine. These are the go-to moves used by thousands of surfers — for life.
Targeted Tissue Release
Tennis ball. Foam roller. Real relief. Learn simple, science-backed techniques that eliminate pain and improve recovery.
Posture Reset
Undo the damage of long desk hours. Restore spinal alignment and hip function with key surf-focused stretches.
Hip Mobility Work
Stuck in the tin-man stance? Regain smooth, controlled hip movement for better turns, pop-ups, and paddling posture.
Real Mobility, Not Just Flexibility
This isn’t passive stretching. Build strong, controlled range of motion that supports powerful, pain-free surfing.
It’s ALL found within this program.
No Matter Your Starting Point, You Will Learn How To Improve & Restore Dynamic Flexibility… Every Joint, Every Muscle, Key Movement Areas, Full Body Movement Sequences, and Tissue Release to Help Eliminate Pain and Stiffness.
Fundamental Surf Stretches
Essential moves to release the tight spots—freeing up joints and muscles that limit fluid, powerful surfing.
After over a decade coaching surfers, these are the go-to moves I teach again and again. Learn how to unlock tight hips, free up your spine, and loosen stiff shoulders. You’ll come back to these stretches for life.
Research-Based Tissue Release
Backed by science and anatomy insight—improve movement, joint health, and recovery, especially on surf trips.
A tennis ball or foam roller can work wonders—if you know the right techniques. On a surf trip, it might be the most valuable thing you pack. Learn proven methods to release tight muscles, boost mobility, and speed up recovery.
Postural Improvement
Give your hips and spine the care they need—undo the damage from too much desk time and restore your posture and flexibility.
The Paddling Archetype program teaches key stretches and techniques to realign your spine, unlock your hips, and release the tension that builds from long hours at a desk.
Hip Flexibility
Tin-man hips holding you back? Unlock your range and ditch the poo-man stance—fluid hips mean better surfing.
In these stretch routines, you’ll focus on the most effective moves to restore hip mobility and support long-term joint health. Better-moving hips = better surfing.
Improved Flexibility & Strength
Surfing demands control, not just movement. This program builds true mobility—strength through range—for better performance in the water.
Flexibility is passive and weak—it’s what happens when someone else moves you. Mobility is different. If you can pull your shin to your face, that’s strength in motion. And as a surfer, that kind of control is key to staying durable. This program builds mobility—strong, usable range of motion—and that’s what really matters.

I use a routine from Stretches for Surfers 2.0 every morning to start my day. I wouldn’t have it any other way, as my mobility and strength in various ranges of motion have improved significantly since I started.

Not only has SSC changed my present – it is changing my future too, as I prepare for much longer surfing and getting back to the most enjoyable thing I have ever done.

You do awesome work. I use your app and videos to help teach my children. The people you intended to help really do LOVE your work. PS I don’t have social media or have ever reached out like this but I felt compelled.

I signed up for your app, bought a stretching program and really took it to heart. It took a while, but slowly I became more flexible, was able to recover faster and ultimately was really catching waves. Not just a wave but 20-30 a day! I have you to thank for a big part of my success. I still use the techniques I learned to be better prepared for next winter. So, don’t quit, I’m sure middle aged men everywhere take your advice to heart.

I signed up to your program in 2016 and bought various programs from them on.
You programs have taught me more about my body than any other program, personal trainer or physiotherapist I have ever consulted.
While I still use physiotherapists and other programs for rehabilitation, strength and movement I have utilised the knowledge I have learnt from SSC to be the basis for my consultations with these. I think my physio appreciates that I can explain what I’m trying to work and know what I’m having issues with. I have also explained some of the movements I learnt from you and they say keep doing it.
What I would like to say is the noise (negative) about anything you do is probably a small percentage compared to the silent majority (like myself) who have benefited from your work.
I will continue using your teachings and you have made my life better by being better physically as I’m sure many do.

I recently had a massive uptick in work hours and have found I have way less time to get into the ocean. the stretching program has helped me to keep moving and regain and retain some flexibility especially through my lower back and hips.
I love the full body stretching videos and have become master of the tennis ball 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.

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.
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.

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!

Hi Cris, I have a NASM certification but my flexibility is limited and I realized that during my first surf lesson and immediately bought a few of your products. They work. Your email speaks to me. I am just really getting into the programs. I have been doing some new things I learned in terms of flexibility and dude you are a rockstar. Great communicator, first class instruction. Well thought out. I can’t begin to compliment you enough and I wish we were neighbors, you are my kind of guy. So yes, I am in, all the way. Thank you for creating a system that is bringing joy to my life.
