haha glad it's my housemate and not me

My advice.....
I: thats gunna require a ship load of beer.
II: he would have been better off not disconnecting the lines from the kite and sorting it out on the beach at the time.

agreed.

can't drink beer on beach in nanny state

shouldn't take you more than an hour to untangle.
it doesn't look to tight and there are lot of loops
start by taking the leash off
do it one line at a time

it's good you have colored lines, it's much easier to untangle than all white lines. I'd say you can do it twice faster than with white lines.

my personal best is 3 hours on the car park to untangle my lines while watching other kiters having fun. I don't remember what happened, must have been a self rescue gone wrong in waves

Yep and he should know better, he must have boosted above the kite, became weightless because he was so high, and in zero gravity its so difficult to maintain line tension, hence the tangle

winning.......

Looks like a six pack worth of effort...

More importantly is your housemate a giant, or is that roof really low?

How the hell did they get into that state that's huge . I read on the forum a while ago that there not NOTS its just the lines folded over and over and in your case over and over themselves, it said if you think that, when untangling them it will help but if you get through to much beer it might be a bit harder

Go surfing...

... I heard there's this Spot north of Yanchep


EDIT: There's this really cool guy at a kiteshop in Scarborough, Dareen or someone... bet he'll untangle that for ya![}:)]

Pull as tight as u can on individual lines untill you can't pull anymore then throw it at the ground as hard as you can. Then swear at it and repeat.

Swearing n repeating is a must if you want it to work!

I'm probably going to watch and laugh. Didn't really need advice.

haha Foosh.....you've been watching our house road trips. There are more than two rocks is all I can say!

galah. he's normal i was on a bean bag or I'm a midget

it looks like this cos he walked from trigg to scabs with it and his kite after a backrollextravaganza epic fail.

Serious question: I've got a knot near the sewed up end of my line - didn't notice it and it's been pulled tight after use.

Any suggestions?

Ta

PS Little O and housemates... I just wanna be your friend.

Do it in a place out of the wind, and completely undo one line at a time, after you have one lin e free, its 1/3rd done.

To get a knot out of a line, soak the knot in soapy water or a detergent water mix, place the li ne on a hard shiny surface like a quarry tile and tap very gently as you rotate the knot. So flatten the knot, then rotate, then flatten, then rotate, repeat several times, then have a go at loosening it by twisting the know with your fingernails. If it does not come loose, repeat the flatten and rotate process several times and try to loosen it again............

More beer was my initial thought :-), but seriously soak in warm water and gentle tap with a hammer, then turn and repeat process. (emphasis on gently)
