Immediately after losing your board place your kite at 45* and body surf one handed upwind. (Bringing your kite to 12, keeping both hands on the bar and holding your body upright to look back for your board will just pull you downwind quickly, farther away from your board).

You're having trouble with your turns. Often people use their and their bar to turn their body or board. The bar controls the kite and the kite moves out of position when you do this. Use your legs and turn your head to help turn your board. If you must use an arm to help yourself rotate, release that arm from the control bar.
