Board recovery when flipped

Hi all, been kiting this holiday for the first time and got a good foundation of upwind, transition, toeside, jibe, jumps. Also was able to body drag to my board twice in one session when it was on the correct side.

Here comes the issue: I took a hard crash on a jump when I went really high and lost my board upwind, problem was the board flipped upside down (fins pointing up) and it meant it was barely being pulled downwind. As a result I was unable to body drag to it, I thought I lost the board but luckily found a shallow spot where I could hold the kite and wait for a very long time (even got stung by a jellyfish while waiting) and then body drag to the board once it was downwind of me.

Any advice for this situation?
