44 and trying to keep going
Solid app. I’m at a crossroads where I’ve been surfing less with young kids kids and I needed to do something to get back to surfing multiple days a week.
Should have done this sooner!
I have been freeloading off Cris’s post for years and finally got the annual membership. There is so much more in the app it is mind blowing. Get the membership. It’s a fraction of what you spend on coffee and way way more beneficial (I drink coffee daily).
Does not let you sign up.
The registration is not working. Says invalid email address
Start stop beeps
Latest app seems to have removed the start and stop beep signals. This makes it difficult to stay in sync with the timer. Hoping this is a bug vs a feature. Love to have them back.
Great app but annoying with music
I love the app and programs but it’s super frustrating to do the workouts if I’m trying to also listen to music. Would be great if it wouldn’t stop my music every time a new exercise or rest period starts/ends
Overpriced marketing stunt
I deeply regret having paid so much for so little. Feeling like I spent that money mostly to subsidize this guy’s surfing trips across the globe. Afterwards I realized I learned way more for free on YouTube and online. There are many other YouTube surfing gurus who know way more and at the same time stay truer to the surfer bros mentality and ethics, and are way cooler guys and gals. The quality of teaching remains limited and superficial; the guy is very repetitive instead of going in more detail and depth over the concepts, probably because his knowledge is limited. By comparison with other way more advanced surf teachers, he seems having reached the limits of his competence and then keeps repeating himself ad nauseam. My advice: don’t fall for the marketing guy like I did; instead: do your research, scroll through multiple YouTube queries with a variety of keywords, watch the videos and assess/think, and you’ll find much better options eventually.

Subscription not activated.
I have just subscribed to this program via the App Store but I have not active subscription in the app or website when using the same login details used for paying for the subscription.
Like having a pro surfer mentor
Everything you could ever Google, or YouTube is in this app stop wasting hours, asking friends, searching the web. It’s all right here literally more than you could imagine detailed in depth on all aspects of surf. Honestly, I want to say thank you man for creating this. Hope to meet you one day. 🤙🏼

really enjoying this
actually much more than I expected. the app works flawlessly on my iPad and the info is great. I’ve only been surfing a little more than a year but 30 years doing martial arts and bodywork. and I’ve learned a lot here. very clear instruction. great stretches, surf instruction and breathwork.
Easy instruction to build out a solid foundation
Coming to surfing later in life I have found Cris’ clear and straightforward approach, defining the movement and mechanics involved makes it an enjoyable experience. I look forward to continuing on the journey
High quality content
Great content from an experienced surfer and experienced trainer. What can I say, Cris def rips harder than me!
Great All Around Program
I recently purchased the perfect pop up and the surf athlete. I am 48 years old and between a crazy travel schedule for work and life in general my surfing has taken a back seat. I recently started surfing more and it was a disaster to say the least. I was extremely inflexible and not surf fit. The pop up I had been getting away with was no longer working and I was getting frustrated. Both of these programs have been such a huge help. I can practice the pop up as well as do workouts where ever I go. When I am back home I can focus on surfing and catching waves instead of just trying to get by hoping to catch whatever I can. The thing I love about the programs is that you can make them work for you. I tried following Chris’ pace but it was way put of shape. By spending more time on certain things I was eventually able to get on pace with the workouts. I feel great and surfing has become something I can’t wait to do.

Great for overall fitness and strength
Got this app to get stronger and build muscle that I need to get better pop ups…ad abeing a dancer/yoga person this app is so intuitive, and even with access to others it’s the one I keep on my home screen and one that approached whole body IRL strength like yoga and dance (not overly focused on being thin or hot or whatever…just keeps it focused on movement and getting better through practice) …I’d recommend it to anyone who is so over diet culture and just wants a more agile body that can do more things! Surf-readiness is an added bonus!

Excellent
Perfect to counter a sedentary desk job
The Real Deal Surf Training Program
Cris has put together a great training app that rivals others on the App Store- but is specific to surfing. I’m now about over a month in the Ocean Sports Academy and am getting pushed in the advanced workouts, plus getting solid tips on technique and form in the water. Plus Cris responds direct to questions and gives a sense of support. Highly recommend if you want to surf train or just train in a different way.

Too expensive
This app is far too expensive for average surfers. They charge for each individual program separately in USD. They draw you in with YouTube videos…it is a total bait and switch.
