In addition to getting a low tow point, a small item to
increase the drag, towed behind the kayak(s) can help a lot.

Something that will keep down, and not float to the surface, 
like a small sea anchor, or a waterfilled plastic bottle, or a 
combination of the two!

Also a hefty skeg might help - one of those strap-on will do!
