Moving to Cali? My Aussie wife and kids are relocating from California to Central Coast, NSW this July 2022. She hasn’t seen her family in 4 years! Eventually, I plan to open a physio/fitness clinic that also caters to surfers and that is all decked out with surf gear. When you come back to Aus it would be great to meet. You’ll also have a free place to stay and train if you want! Love your videos Cris.
Dr. Breese, thank you! yeah, maybe California, although it looks like 22' is shaping up to have a lot of travel in the first half, and then perhaps Indonesia for the 2nd half, so time shall tell. currently I'm not willing to go back to Oz until they have some consistency with their overseas travel allotments and processes. I have too much work need to get on airplanes! Enjoy central coast!
Hi Chris. I’ve never had a foamie as though they were for beginners or kids. What is it about the MR you love and when would you take it out vs a regular board?
Hey Chris, long time fan here - wondering your height and weight in relation to these boards (apologies if already given below) cheers, and thanks for all your awesome content over the years!
Totally understand that’s it’s been a tuff couple of years. I moved to SA 4 years ago & so hard to get back home to Qld to see family. Hopefully things get better here in Aus & you get back here!
thank you. I hope to not give people the wrong impression. I love living in Australia, and will come back, but currently with ongoing personal life stuff, and a complete inability to travel or see family, and personally having minimal to zero support (mentally, emotionally, friends) here in australia, I'm bailing. I'll get back to oz eventually, but I'll be based out of the US for a period to time so I can work in central america and indonesia. Best of luck to you, and I hope you get to see your family soon!
@@SurfStrengthCoach there on his website just make sure you get the twins not the HP keels, those work good too but the his twins are way better in my opinion
Nice Vid Bro, been sttrugglin last tô years as well, Just got back to the water a week Ago here in south Brazil. Its Very mind helpful tha way you speak about surfing, people in Costa Rica os very friwndly but no local pro could give me tips that precious. Your twin looks the perfect craft tô Race down Pavones! Pura Vida
what size / dims? where do you usually surf it? my intention now is to actually travel with it to the US and take it to central america (mexico and nicaragua)
I “digged it”… enjoyed watching all of it. My regret is finding/watching it 5 months later. Thanks for sharing. Oh, I too have been pissed-off with this whole C-19 BS… but anyway, on a more positive note - enjoy watching & hearing your wisdom & insights! 👍
foam can certainly help, but it's more about proper stretching and positioning. if certain tissues are pulling you into excessive extension, they likely need to be addressed and then awareness of positioning and strengthening. this is actually something I've done a lot of via consultation online with clients that have spondylolisthesis issues
I saw in the comments that you're moving to SD. What will your quiver look like then? A quiver for blacks and lj reefs? I'm betting you will need something for mush.
hah! thank you. I'll let my father know you're stoked on it... I did get some good genetics for hair. TERRIBLE genetics for gut durability and detoxification pathways, but some solid genetics for hairlines. :)
helped in terms of what? this was actually the first twinny in a while I had a pad on. I think I could probably easily surf it without one, but it's also nice to have that reference point for the foot.
I really like it when I feel my foot hit the tail kick of the pad, I KNOW where my foot is. For short, wide, fishy boards you need that back foot all the way back. Then again, sometimes you see people with pad placed wrong and you know its screwing them up.
Hi Chris love the videos thanks for all your great content. Was wondering if you can share model and dims of the swallow tail Clayton board . Thanks again sir
thanks Eric, I appreciate that. wish I could help, but it had no dims written on the board, and I only know it's volume. 28L. It's at a buddies house in tweed and I'm back in the US at the moment. good board! had some great surfs on it at angourie.
That's a whole lot of overlap. How about a 7'2" gun for those double overhead plus days. Maybe a high performance long board or a midlength (not a 6'4", I'm talking 7'+)for your second surf of the day, its a back saver. Why should everybody have a foamie? Seems like there would always be a better alternative to me. Been following your exercise videos for many years, your helping me keep ripping at 50 yo. Hang in there and keep up the good work.
Cris, when you say you are moving back to the US, by chance is that California? I sure would love to meet you and work with you in person. I am in the southern half of the state but would even drive to the northern half for a coaching session with you!
Welcome to the dark side of mid lengths! Moved up to a 7'0 fish, with all the options, its been fun experimenting with the different fin set ups. Just curious if you ever ride a long board?
off and on I've ridden longboards, but never with much consistency. more for when it's like 1 foot and want to have a splash. and yeah, the mid lengths are good fun.
HeyChris, love your pop up vids and training tips. Off to Bali/Lombok in the fall. I surfed there 10 years ago for 6 weeks solid and have not surfed much since then. Any tips on what board would be a good for me. I will be there for a month. I am fit but not paddle fit. Caught a lot of waves back 10 years ago. I thought a fish/hybrid with 32L might be a good start point but would love to hear what you have to say.
not really, but my foamy's aren't very high in volume. it's a volume issue that makes boards harder or easier to duck dive. most foamy boards inherently have way more volume.
tough question to answer as I haven't really needed a board like that in a while. a new flyer was always a good board, surfed a neck beard as well back in the day. I've been spoiled by Indonesia and good Aussie beaches
Hey Cris, Without seeming pervy! What’s you height and weight please? Just interested to compare to the volume, length, shape, conditions you described. Cool vid, cheers!
the trolling from the surf world is truly some of the lamest and least creative on the internet. a complete lack of whit or intelligence. I simply envision a drooling washed up surfer, reliving their high school dreams, now sitting at a desk, calling me a kook in a drawled out slur while smoking a cigarette.
Shred on Brutha🤙 I’d love to jump on an Indo trip in the future. Come back to Aus when we’ve regained some sanity, until then throw up a Shaka to Granny Mills for me🤙
haha! legend, I'll let carolyn know for sure. I'll get back to oz for sure, I have full intention of carrying out life here (once we get some normalcy again)
The Bajabundo .team would love to greet you and your crew or family in Baja California Sur, México. We can take you to some uncrowded and perfect surf spots for you to create epic content for your videos. Saludos! 🤙🏼🏄🏻

Hi Dr Breese. Have you opened up your clinic yet on the Central Coast? If so, can you provide some info/link?
Thanks.
Hi Chris. I’ve never had a foamie as though they were for beginners or kids. What is it about the MR you love and when would you take it out vs a regular board?
Good Vid Cris , yes the situation sucks here in Oz , lets hope we can all go back to Indo soon..!!! All the best with your trip..!
cheers matty! I think this coming year will see a slight return to normalcy (hopefully). but yeah, it's been a bit hectic!
Hey Chris, long time fan here - wondering your height and weight in relation to these boards (apologies if already given below) cheers, and thanks for all your awesome content over the years!

Really worthwhile walkthrough. Thanks! All the best venturing back to the US 💪
thank you patrick, I appreciate the support. Cheers!
oh wow, what a great review for the fishbeard. thanks
Great review thanks and good luck you have helped a lot of people keep surfing and move better.
What are your dims for reference ( height weight)
Thank you malcolm, I appreciate the positive content. I'm 5 11", about 165-170lbs
If you get the fishbeard in the states pick up the HP twin set from Noel salas. Goes way better then the keels.
done! i'm ordering them now. i wish there was a way I could tag him in the comments
@@SurfStrengthCoach there on his website just make sure you get the twins not the HP keels, those work good too but the his twins are way better in my opinion
Nice Vid Bro, been sttrugglin last tô years as well, Just got back to the water a week Ago here in south Brazil. Its Very mind helpful tha way you speak about surfing, people in Costa Rica os very friwndly but no local pro could give me tips that precious.
Your twin looks the perfect craft tô Race down Pavones!
Pura Vida
good for you on getting back in the water, I'm sure it was good for the soul. Pavones, perfect pavones, it will be nice!
The Fishbeard goes so good! I love mine!
what size / dims? where do you usually surf it? my intention now is to actually travel with it to the US and take it to central america (mexico and nicaragua)
Wicked content Cris! Keep shredding!
Thanks Aaron, much appreciated!
I “digged it”… enjoyed watching all of it. My regret is finding/watching it 5 months later.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I too have been pissed-off with this whole C-19 BS… but anyway, on a more positive note - enjoy watching & hearing your wisdom & insights! 👍
Nice one! What ais your height/weight?would be nice to know!
I'm 5 11" and weight 165-170lbs
Wow your point on lumbar spine struggles and wide point etc on surfboard. If one wants lower lumbar extension what's your take on board design
foam can certainly help, but it's more about proper stretching and positioning. if certain tissues are pulling you into excessive extension, they likely need to be addressed and then awareness of positioning and strengthening. this is actually something I've done a lot of via consultation online with clients that have spondylolisthesis issues
I saw in the comments that you're moving to SD. What will your quiver look like then? A quiver for blacks and lj reefs? I'm betting you will need something for mush.
GODDAMNNN THIS PERFECT HAIRLINE!
hah! thank you. I'll let my father know you're stoked on it... I did get some good genetics for hair. TERRIBLE genetics for gut durability and detoxification pathways, but some solid genetics for hairlines. :)
Hey mate. Did you find putting a pad on the fish beard helped at all? I’m not 100% sold on mine.
helped in terms of what? this was actually the first twinny in a while I had a pad on. I think I could probably easily surf it without one, but it's also nice to have that reference point for the foot.
I really like it when I feel my foot hit the tail kick of the pad, I KNOW where my foot is. For short, wide, fishy boards you need that back foot all the way back. Then again, sometimes you see people with pad placed wrong and you know its screwing them up.

Hi Chris just for reference what height and Weight are you just for volume comparison

Hi Chris
What size is the foamy ?
Cris, when you say you are moving back to the US, by chance is that California? I sure would love to meet you and work with you in person. I am in the southern half of the state but would even drive to the northern half for a coaching session with you!
Oh hey at the end you said it is indeed California! 😉 Yay! Hope to surf with you sometime!
@@valeriejohnson2770 it's very likely I'll be in San Diego at some point in 2022!
Very informative thank you!
I dig the channel! It's helped me alot. Thank you 🤙 What is your height? I'm looking into getting a board or two...stay well bro🙏
I'm 5 11" and weight about 165-170lbs. Thank you for the support Michael

Hi Chris, do you find your softboards harder to duck dive?
not really, but my foamy's aren't very high in volume. it's a volume issue that makes boards harder or easier to duck dive. most foamy boards inherently have way more volume.
@@SurfStrengthCoach thanks Chris totally makes sense. Do you recommend them as a forgiving transition to short board?
What your favorite high performance shortboard for not great waves and small waves
tough question to answer as I haven't really needed a board like that in a while. a new flyer was always a good board, surfed a neck beard as well back in the day. I've been spoiled by Indonesia and good Aussie beaches
What board is the last one?
What is your height and weight?
Good one brother
Where abouts in Oz mate? where is your 2 ft board for 40% of days haha
Hey Cris,
Without seeming pervy!
What’s you height and weight please? Just interested to compare to the volume, length, shape, conditions you described.
Cool vid, cheers!
not pervy at all. ha! it helps board dims make sense: I'm 5 11" and weight 165-170lbs
Maybe next time show video of how each board goes
Sure! You keen to be a personal filmer?
no one gave you a dislike
cris mills surf give away yeoww
