but down wind the keel at the bow will dip below the surface lengthening the waterline and effectively moving your seat rearward relative to the waterline. The effect is that you won't broach as quickly.

Sounds like magic!
I thought that 'anchoring' the bow in a wave would increase the chances of a broach when running/surfing; I must be missing something.
