i find tricks easyer to do back hand, like my top turn sucks on my front hand, but its steeper on my back hand, why is this?

im regular footed by the way

because a backside top turn is a toe side turn (for a regular) which are generally easier. I find my backhand snap is much snappier than on my frontside, but in general my surfing is much better frontside.

right, so you can make turns bigger on your back side

not necessarily bigger, just snappier, frontside my turns are a lot more controlled.
