Default How to handle kite inversion?

Had an intersting scenario yesterday while working on my jumping skills.

I have a SB2 and a missed jump resulted in a trip "around the horn", which lead to a kite inversion. I was able to get the kite inverted again, back to normal, but the inside lines were twisted around the outside lines.

The kite was very unstable in the air at this point. EVERYTHING I've learned says "not to fly a kite with the lines crossed".

Since I was was in shallow water, I could easily self rescue and walked the kite back to shore. (I had a good exit plan man!)

Any advice on how to better handle a kite inversion?? If I had been in deeper water, I coulda been in deeper doo-doo.
