Anyone have any tips for me on how to get those soft landings after going huge?

I find myself holding back on my jumps as when i go truely massive, it inevitably throws my timing completely out to get the kite powered up just before landing. In the more controlled boosts, i tend to like to leave the kite behind me, and do a sharp re-direct across before landing which works well, but seems like a bit of a cheats way. When going huge, the kite has too much time to drift back to 12 instead of staying behind me, then i just drop down with the kite at 12 pretty fast, not quite knowing what to do. I kind of feel 'stuck' with the kite at 12, myself and kite floating downwind, not knowing which way to re-direct.

Looping the kite above my head seems like a good idea, but haven't had the guts to try this yet, as it doesn't feel like it will get round in time with power, and initiating a loop earlier seems like suicide from 20 feet up - catch 22. Or do i just suck it up and give it a crack.

Or is it just one of those aspects of kitesurfing that takes years of practice, timing and kite control. I progressed heaps in other areas of my riding this season, but this big boosting thing still seems like a bit of a dark art.

thanks,
