tail walk occurs in monos when the rudder and turn fin cannot hold the hull steady in a turn. It is a sign the hull in its current trim is on the edge

the boat tends to rest on the forward planing surface and the tail jumps/slides grabs; jumps/slides grabs; etc

It is more like a tail wag than a walk.

usually it means your control surfaces need to be adjusted or made larger

On the up side it looks spectacular
