hopping is called "proposing" and is caused when a submerged prop is given waayyy too much power and causes the nose to rise too far, it then walks on the prop, prop begins surface piercing and it flips over.
best bet is to move the prop further back IMO.

If he's got an adjustable outdrive or trim tabs he could also try to bury the bow better, that will keep it from porpoising as badly as well.
