Hold on to the back handle and let nature take its course. The added weight in the back (you) keeps the bow up.
Have had to do that a couple times...

Better yet, when a set wave turns your kayak parallel to the white water, try submerging your paddle blade as far as you can. keep the flat part of the blade facing the shore. this keeps the wave from flipping you. its a bumpy ride but you get in without flipping. ive done this in headhigh surf on the sea of cortez in sit inside kayaks without gear. its a pretty common surf technique.
either that or you invent a massive 2 ft retractable skag
