Whats up all

Just sitting here and got my rope that I have used for a couple runs. Trying to rval it up and its going all to stuff? When I bought it it was simply to coil up now its getting a bit bitchy with me? Any techniques on how to make it easy to coile up nicely?

Thanks

Do it when you're still on the boat. Pull the handle into the boat and let the opposite end of the rope drag in the water while the boat is slowly moving. Then, coil the rope up from the handle end. That way it untwists as you wind it up.

Take the rope, then throw the loose end of the rope into the lake. (Keep the the end with the handle on the tow point, letting the rest of the rope be out behind the boat, oppisite of how you would normally ride.) Then cruise around for a few minutes. (fast enough so that the rope is jumping out of the water.) this will allow the rope to un twist it's self. Thus making it easy to coil again.

Also when coiling, make loose coils. Don't coil it by wrapping it around your hand and elbow. Make large armlength loops.
