I just did the same roll yesterday. When I came up my kayaks bow was sitting
in the lap of another Kayaker as we broached on the wave face. Neither of us
were to happy about it, but both OK.
Completing that surf roll is mostly not doing anything to screw it up. Stay in
the boat and let the wave do its thing.

<< The last few times I capsized in surf I managed to roll up without rolling.
 I didn't set up, didn't sweep, didn't hip snap.  Yet I rolled up comfortably
 broached on the wave in a high brace.  I think that I just sort of stick my
 paddle out and up I come. >>
