MarkMT, the added force of the quick bear away will push the lee bow under, especially so if the boards are all the way down, they act like a fulcrum to leverage the bow down. Try a quick bear away in medium air, do a few with the boards up all the way, then half way, then fully down, you will see the difference is huge. And as others have said, try to look back, see the gusts coming and bear away before it hits, (and ease your spin sheet too) that will help keep the bows up.
