Awesome surf workouts
Everything is dynamic and I’m learning a lot while I do the workouts. I’m looking for long-term mobility and being able to surf more years. When I’m doing this app, I feel a lot stronger in and out of the water
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.

Love this app
Such a good app.. super thorough instruction and amazing to have it surf specific in such a detailed way. When I am committed to the workout plans I definitely notice an improvement in my surfing. Thanks Chris
Awesome!
Started with the perfect popup program, loved it and now I’m on my 2nd program.
The man, the legend!
I discovered the surf athlete programs through OMBE and the cardboard surfer program. The cardboard surfer alone has been a real game changer for my surfing, it’s truly mindblowing. But even more all conditioning programs offered by Chris. You see that this man has come a long way, tried and tested all kinds of different approaches and chose the very best exercises and protocols to make surfing more efficient, powerful and fun. I was baffled how much knowledge from physical rehab and other approaches like yoga, pilates, track fields or animal movement is woven into the programs, but with strict focus on direct carry over to surfing. And more importantly, always pointing out the differences to yoga where you often see inefficient or exaggerated movement patterns, not resulting in the desired effects. I even corrected my yoga practice due to Chris. Moreover I discovered Foundation Training through the Surf Athlete App, which perfectly complements the surf training programs and I am so thankful for all the benefits it has brought me already. Get the app, start training with Chris, it’s legit. Hail to the froth lord!

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.
Good but could be a lot better
He’s great at analyzing and explaining but I don’t like the way the exercises are presented. It’s not easy to follow along. Everything is just video. Would be a lot easier to just have one PDF with the names, photo sequences, and repetitions. Piecing it all together from the video is time-consuming and requires me to make my own document just to have a smooth workout without constantly being on the phone.
The audio quality isn’t good.
He has unique insight but I wish he’d think a bit more from the user perspective

Great app but no music
Hope next update solve the problem
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.
