I would think foreward would be the way to go. Remember building those cheap balsa wood gliders? The little clip-on weight went on the front, making the C.G. foreward of the wings/body. (It also kept the nose from getting busted up when it crash-landed on the driveway.) The rest of the plane at the rear had more surface area, so it 'weathercocked' to go straight. It sounds like your C.G. is slightly aft of the kayak's midpoint (midpoint of the waterline with you in the boat, that is) and that the bow is unweighted and unstable.

It should be a relatively easy exercise to find out -- take a weight like a jug of water and place it in front of you to see if foreward is the way to go.
