not hiking hard enough, , the boat is nowhere near flat so why dont you just let the sail out? you keep coming in and out and in and out which shows you aren't fit enough and can't stay out for more than about 30 secs. your hanging a bit as well which is a fitness issue. also you could try pointing a bit moreinto the wind. other than that your doing quitewell and good luck in the future
no offence but dat aint extreme atall like day are toppers i saililed em wen i was 8 jesus like rs feva 30 kts big swell roches point cork harbour ireland dat is extreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what you need to do is pull on a little more kicker and pull your centreboard up level with the foredeck and then let your sail out but don't pinch because you will stall, you can then keep the boat flat and toppers perform much better with a flat boat.Then hang your bum over the edge and consistently hike and it will be much less tiring and faster.
The trick is to get the sail really flat and not to sheet too tight upwind. If the boat slows down too much it stalls and just turns into the wind - then you're in trouble! Toppers are a lot of fun in 20knts but not the easiest boats to sail in these conditions! :-)
Don't break your back just let your main sheet out a little

Hike to keep flat. If that isn't enough ease the mainsheet out a little. If that doesn't work bear away very slightly.
