Could be not enough rig tension - or more likely rigpanting in a mega gust.  When the mast bends the compression shortens the length the jib luff is stretched over - so saggy luff is result of bend not vice-versa.

L2K prone to sideaways bend especially with poweful kicker applied.

That's kicker induced. It needs lowers.
