1. Wind lines up as best you can as per usual after the entanglement / ditch - try not to let the ends wind around each other.
2. Choose a non-windy, private grassy area with shade! Crack open a beer and play relaxation music. (Let your inner force flow with nature)
3. Lay lines out as best you can.
4. Find what looks like the least tangled line.
5. Straighten the line you're working on (let the other lines loop around it). Pull it through knotted bits from the bar end (don't thread the ends through). C. Never pull tighter any line which is tangled.
6. Work in small stages, starting from the kite end, if required. Twiddle it to see which way to pull thru (always pull the line from the bar end of the knot).
7. Put the untangled line to the other side of the bar.
8. Repeat with the next least tangled line.

got this from another forum! i just thought this would be of great help to you guys! :)

thanks for that informative tips! i always had problems untying knots especially when i'm in the middle of the surf, haha. adrenaline surges up and a moment of panic in untying knots will surely get in the way for a great kite surfing ride!
