Why I built this

CRIS MILLS

A full on froth-head

After years coaching surfers from beginners to pros, I saw the same struggles repeat: pain, stiffness, poor paddling, weak pop-ups. I built Surf Athlete to solve that — combining rehab, strength, and surf technique into one place. This isn’t just another fitness app. It’s what I wish I had when I was trying to level up my own surfing

A full on froth-head I’ve dedicated my life to helping people with their health, performance, vitality, and ultimately their surfing. Health and Surfing are intimately interwoven.

More about Cris

Frequently Asked Questions

Cris is a full on frother, surf coach, massage therapist, performance coach, trainer, and Chek Practitioner. That’s a lot of titles that basically mean he has incredible insight into the human body and how it relates to surfing, and surfing better!

His professional background pulls from highly integrative approaches to health, rehab, and performance training. This has helped him to see the body, and more importantly, a surfers’ body, from a holistic and interconnected manner, whether that be nutritional, chemical, or mechanical.

No matter if you’ve trained in the gym for the last decade, or never lifted a weight before, the Surf Athlete App programs are designed to help YOU improve your movement, confidence, and fitness, so you feel better in the water.

Experienced surfers are in it for the long haul. If your body can’t move, you can’t surf. If you have any interest in surfing longevity you NEED to prioritise your health and fitness. The Surf Athlete App programs will give you the tools to support your surfing via improved fitness.

Programs in the app vary in duration and training based on the individual program. Some programs are 6 weeks, some are theory based, while others are 12 week follow along training schedules. All programs are delivered via the Surf Athlete App in an easily structured, and simple to follow format. You’ll be stoked on the training and the results.
