G'Day Craig,
 
Completely agree and of course would add John Winters as well. Don't know if
they have the time or patience for this sort of question these days, though
I know Matt still responds to Paddlewise occasionally.

The post didn't make it into the Paddlewise summary, which I think is what
Matt and John read so I may send them a post back channel. BTW as luck would
have it the Pittarak is a very old design with a rounded hull and skeg and
turns out of a broach back into surfing mode just beautifully, which may
have something to do with the characteristic I described. 
 
All the best, PeterO
