Sounds like magic!
I thought that 'anchoring' the bow in a wave would increase the chances of a broach when running/surfing; I must be missing something.

Classic Greenland design with deep bow stem "foot" catches in slow water in tough of waves while running/surfing causing broach.

Aleut style iqyax with rockered keel line sweeping up to the bow tip (no "foot") along with flare and volume prevent broaching and allow greater control surfing waves.

Aleut magic!
