Like Mike, I find the jibes more of a problem. Make sure you let out the traveller and the main before dropping. This will remove the tendency of the boat to round up as the kite comes down. I usually kneel down and put the tiller extension under my foot to hold it straight. I can steer a little like this, but generally I try to get the kite down fast enough that I don't have to steer.

In lighter winds, leave a bit more main/traveller tension on and the boat will start to round itself up.
