I often pull the board well-up when running "before the wind". ('wuz going to say "Wing-and-Wing" ). ...and put my foot against it to keep it up."...it allows you to raise and lower the board to different heights (including full up for beaching)..."

Is that an unnecessary action? (Some stability IS lost).
A shock cord, as described above, will help solve these problems. Many racers run the cord from the hole in the board (or from the handle) up around the mast and through the tack (where the booms come together) back to the board on the other side of the mast.
This will hold the board up downwind and keep it from falling out of the boat if you capsize. It also helps hold the boom out in very light air (JC Strap)
