Backside bottom turn land drills?
Hi
I've been surfing for about 10 years but fairly unintentionally. I've also always preferenced my front side.
I'm looking for some land drills to really dial in my backside bottom turn. I am fine tacking of straight, getting low, but struggling with rotation / touching the water. I'm fairly sure rotation is my issue as even when in my mind I'm holding the thought - look over shoulder back/ up at the wave - most of the time I end out looking down the line.
I'd say about 1 in 5 times I get a half-decent bottom turn off and can then do the top turn - but it doesn't feel controlled or consistent. I also wouldn't say I gain speed through the bottom turn when I pull it off - which I do when surfing frontside.
I'd love any suggestions of how to simulate this movement on land so I can dial in the muscle memory.
I surf about 3/4 times a week but the conditions aren't super consistent so each surf maybe I get 4 or 5 attempts at a bs bottom turn at best.
I found this exercise :

I'd love any other suggestions from people who have drilled this on land. Or advice in general how to get consistentcy with this.
Thanks !
