Lets forget the surfing for a moment. On flat, if you're rolling forward (regular stance) and turn your body and board to the right, that is turning backside. I'll explain why. If you were rolling forward (normal stance) up a vert ramp and turned right, you're turning backside. For example a backside air. If you turn to the left, you're turning frontside, frontside air. Ok so put a rail on the ground and roll forward
