Ok, I can go upwind, I can go pretty fast (from what I can see compared to others around), and depending on conditions, I now pass 90% of my simple transitions without sinking back in (skidding/sliding happens). What should I work on in addition to keeping working on those transitions, and How?
Congratulations!
Firstly, find the other 10%....u don't want to be sinking in at all
Kite Control and Timing....How?
Practice and then practice some more....u will never stop learning how important timing is.....
Toeside to heelside carve will put a big smile on ya dial
If you can't ride toeside yet start learning!
All of the above. Also going slow, kite high, into a downloop transition. Handy move and helps with lots of things. Start with mid to low power though, or don't and enjoy the carnage
jump on a chop and try and grab the board. Send the kite to twelve and do a 360 (don't go too high though). I am finding toeside really hard, it feels like you need a lot more power from the kite because of the weight difference (also harder to go upwind). 180 chop hops to toeside are fine though. Also shifty jumps are fun, and hooked in ralleys
