I just put up this article on how to tie your line shorter without making a knot. I thought some of you wakeboarders might find this useful. Very Happy

yes
my friend always says I am not tying the right knot and that there is a right knot for shortening ropes for wakeboarding .. and that there is one knot for it and only he knows it

Thanks for the link. Should be expecially useful for wakesurfing. BTW, ride what you like and don't take crap from anybody.

I tried that knot last night and it slipped all the way down to the original. So, "You better knot mention that again!"

Lyle, sounds like you didn't do it right. It should work Wink

I think I did it right I practiced like 5 times at my desk here before going out. I just looked again also. I guess the final fold I put over the top instead of underneath but it doesn't seem like that should make a difference. Mayby I just shouldn't cut as hard when I am out there Laughing

What kind of crazy slippery-ass rope are you using, Lyle? Laughing

It should work.

You think it matters that I coated the whole thing with wax, then dipped it in industrial strength synthetic grease, topping it off with a hose down of teflon racing lubrication. I just wanted to really put the knot to the test, and like I said, "You better KNOT mention that again. . . or I am going to get off the back of this pick up truck"
