The diver would feel the same wind while in the air as while standing on that elevated diving board. He would recognize the strong 70Mph wind, and jump forward to counteract it.
He wouldn't be casually standing on the board at 70 mph either, so any wind strong enough to push him off the back would make it really hard to stand and dive in the first place.
He is exerting force on the diving board to stay in position. Gripping with his feet, and leaning.
Sure when you jump you.would.natutslly try to compensate, but I don't think you'd land where you hope, it would be very hard to gauge the needed force, or even produce it.
