Maybe on that big stable T, but the first thing I do downwind in big air/rough water on the H20 is dig under the strap. When the bows dig, if I'm not locked in and slide forward, at a minimum the boat digs deeper and takes longer to pop up; at worst it doesn't pop up. I've only pitchpoled 4 times in 12 years, but I've caught lots of fish on the tramp from sudden stops :-) I did have one case where I was letting a newbie steer and the boat went over, and he was hung up until I came and helped him get out. The boat was in the process of turtling (slowly); that could have gotten ugly.

Besides, where do you wedge the spray top when the wind dies and you start to sweat to death?
