I quit surfing for 12 years and restarted and right from the beginning I did much better backside. Not sure why the bottom turns were better but it took me 3 years longer to feel like my frontside bottom turns were good. I can kind of understand why the backside top turns were better because You kind of rotate your chest or at least I do when surfing backside to see where you are going. This preloads your upper body for the top turn and rotating back to facing forward off the top of the wave is much easier than looking over your shoulder on a frontside top turn

What’s your ser up?

8" 4A on 7'4 board. I've moved it around in 1/4" increments and most recently about 3/8" behind center of the box. At this placement, still felt squirrelly on a recent overhead drop.
Guessing either keep moving it back in 1/4" increments until I feel secure on solid days, or just give up and put in side bites (have a smaller 7.5" center fin to use with 3.25" side bites - my previous experience on it were on fun size waves, not head high+, and. felt a bit sticky but secure).
Re: Boman, weight too forward could totally be a factor that I'm working on improving.
