How much rode (chain + rope) are you letting out? Perhaps you are not using enough and as a result the scope is too large, resulting in the boat 'popping' the anchor out of the sand.
How heavy is the anchor?

Not sure of weight, maybe 13 lbs.? When I saw the thing toppling over, I was IN the water and pulling it almost straight, which is what the chain is supposed to help with, right? It just wasn't digging in. If I pushed it in with my feet, it held OK, but that's rarely possible. I did read in a review that the sharpness of the spike thingies and the angle they are at affect the performance.
Essentially, what I saw is that it would lay flat, the spikes would start to dig, and then it would just flip over. This was at about 20' away and pulling at waist level (3'?).
