Regarding backwards:
Keep the mirage in and ready, and power pedal into every wave. You’re most stable when moving. You only want to be going backwards again once the wave has passed under your butt. In the PA14 I stop pedaling and dig in my paddle to catch some of the wave’s momentum. If you fill up the cockpit in a PA14 then only forward momentum can keep you upright.

I’ve actually seen people surf Outbacks. You can also brace sideways without window shading and do a lot of things the PA can’t.
