I agree with taking it at an angle, somewhere around 45 degrees to the waves. Plus, adjust your steering with each wave. In following seas you may need to run a gentler angle down the front of a wave before you hit the trough, and then turn a bit into the wave as you climb to the next peak. And as the previous poster said do whatever you can to keep your drive in the water since it is your control surface.
Also when stuff gets dicey don a PFD. (lifejacket) Put your cell phone in a plastic bag too.
