You actually don't want your kayak to stay straight (perpendicular to the waves) in the surf zone on a landing. Launching you do though. After you catch a wave in, you want to go right away to one side or the other then brace to that side. Then you ride the one small wave in, sideslipping to avoid digging the rail. The anchor might just hold you in the impact zone, just long enough for that set wave to find you. Catch the smallest wave you can and brace. If that wave passes you, you need to sprint in to avoid lingering in the impact zone.
