Could it be that this is an example of a broken twist? I.e. you're not twisting enough at the top which makes you default to a lean. (Unfortunately I'm an expert on broken twists)

Lennart Neubauer still fixing it. But here are some thoughts:
Letst start with a question: are you expecting to fall? It doet of seems that way. It seems like a silly question, but think about it.
So here are some thoughts on fixing:
- you fall backwards because you're not twisting your upper body and thus getting back over your board and leading it down the wave.
- I would suggest you're aiming to get your upper body to face the camera.
- to do that actively pull your left arm (and thus your body) around. Basically your arm should be pointing to the right of the screen.
- at the same time bring your right arm around. Touching your fave with the upper side of your hand can help to twist more quickly.
A great place to practice is in the bowl on a surf skate. I've done that a lot myself. My personal problem is I then forget to do it while in the water.
Hope that helps.
