I find going in backwards offers me a whole lot more control over the
waves, I find it easier to push over a big wave than try back  paddle to
avoid take off.
Going backwards makes it so i am ready to take on the waves coming
in...same as when going out...

I started doing this a couple years ago, when loaded [the boat that is] and
in  isolated areas.  I really took to it and do this all the time now...
