Question my manhood if you will, but I too, have taken to backing in. Hey, my masculinity is usually questioned if I dump coming in forward too. I have never flipped while launching. So I might as well come in facing out. Just watch out behind me!

About the only disadvantage to coming in backwards is the fact that you do take on a little bit of water but by the time you're ready to land you're probably already wet so its no big deal.
