To taxi back, you have to turn around and taxi with a tailwind.
Some taildraggers, really, really do not like to taxi in strong tailwinds.
Many pilots hold the stick back while taxing to keep the tail on the ground
Consider the position of the elevators and think what is going to happen in
a good tailwind. The instinctive reaction when the tail lifts is to haul back
harder. BAD MOVE.
