Moving the seat

Which way should I move my Center of Gravity (c.g., seat, butt) to keep my 14' auk from spinning around when I coast? It's slightly aggrivating to coast while waiting for somone and still have to do steering corrections! The thing paddles great and straight, doesn't windvane but swaps end like a dead jet ski when coasting. Is this just the nature of the beast? Thanks Vernon
