There are only 2 reasons why the handle gets pulled out of your hand and they are related. Your grip strength is weak and/or you are getting too much slack in the line at landing. The drill LynrdSkynrd suggested is good, but I would suggest some grip/forearm strengthening exercises. Lack of strength can be overcome with good technique that prevents the line slackening or deep edge set on landing. BTW, the somewhat shorter board will not help solve this problem, but it would help with other issues related to your size.
