You dont need a site. Here's the perfect knot.
Tie your basic slip knot then keep passing a loop of the standing end of the line though the loop and each loop formed by that. By the end it'll look like a chain. To finish it just pass the end through the last loop. I dont know if this made sense but if not then i'll try again later.

| What is the point of a braid? Why not just have a single short line dangling? (I dont wakesurf) |

| it's easier on the hands to hold onto and you want to be able to pull yourself up the line once you're going. |

Dont you need 3 lines for a braid? My knot only needs one but whatever you do will work.
