Why surfing backside riding is difficult? The cause is your misunderstanding.

What’s up?

That’s a problem many beginner surfers have. Where do you find it difficult?

Is the correct answer. The backside feels difficult because you can’t see the waves.

You are misunderstanding. Many beginners make the same mistakes as you do. The idea is that the backside doesn’t improve.

This time around, I’ll talk about backside riding, which many beginners misunderstand.

First of all, understand that the back side and the front side are completely different.
Due to the structure of the human body, the same movement cannot be performed on the front side and the back side. The method of controlling the surfboard is also completely different.

Well then, I will teach you a good way. You are only focusing on how you move your body. But have you ever thought about the direction and size of the turn?

The front side and back side turns are not the same. If you can notice this, you will improve. I will explain the difference between the front side and back side turns.

This is the difference between the front side turn and the back side turn.
There are many variations on the front side. You can make big or small turns.
However, there are few variations on the backside turn. You can’t make small turns. Be aware of only big turns.

Go down to the bottom and make a big turn. Therefore, twist your upper body to the wave side. You can see the waves better because you are far from the waves.
On the back side, you cannot make turns with variations like the front side. On the backside, you can make each turn bigger to make it look better.

The backside isn’t all bad. Top turns and off-the-lip are easier than on the front side. On the front side, you have to twist your upper body at the top of the wave, which is difficult. But on the backside, you just put the upper body twisted at the bottom back at the top of the wave.
