One of the most common things said to developing surfers is the need to learn to compress. Get your bum towards the water/board and bend from the knees.
This is the best way to stay centred over your board. It’s the best way to keep in control and is very efficient when wanting to get into a top turn position.
Many surfers find learning how to surf on their backhand daunting. One of the best ways to learn and improve is by copying elite athletes and learning from how they perform manoeuvres.
Taylor Knox is an example for a surfer with a really solid technique that can be copied by other surfers and is universally thought of as one of the best backside surfers ever.
