I don't add weight to my surfsters. The lip adds plenty of weight. You want the nose to be down in the water. Part of the reason for the slope, is that it helps the lip grab in current. At least that is how I've viewed it. You could always add the slope and repaint if they are not working the way that you intended.

The first thing I would do though is remove the weight. If the weight is in the belly, it will cause the nose to come up some rather than dig. This may be one reason that they are rolling out in current.
