Backside Noseriding
For some, backside noseriding is easier that frontside, it may depend on what waves you surf the most, and the muscle memory and techniques you've developed thus far.
For starters, your cross steps to the nose are critical here. Ideally, you'll be walking on the board a little closer to the inside rail, rather than in the middle of the board. Your front hip stays open, which opens your shoulders, and your head to the wave. Remember, more weight will be in your heels than on your toes while walking to the nose (on backhand). To make the final step into the hang 10, make sure the hang 5 is well balanced, then shift your weight into your front foot at you bring your back foot up into the hang 10 position.
Pay attention to Sierra's hips and back here, notice how upright she is, elongated through the core. Do your best to develop a habit of standing tall through the mid section, and not bending at the waist. This will also help give space for the hips to cross walk.
