when i was learning the bow stall i had the same problem, you need to really work on your balance in order to be any good at it, i used a lot of karate moves to help me out with that, the triangle with the paddle blade is the key to this tho, try keeping your arms as straight as possible when ur vertical, also use your knees to control the positioning of the kayak and pretty soon you will be able to hold the stall for as long as your want to
