knots

does anyone know any good knot tying sites?

i'm trying to make a rope for wakesurfing so i need like some sort of braid or something. just let me know if you have any good links, thanks

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.

i just did a standard braid i think it will work out, thanks though

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

[Jeff206]

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.

ballywho, yeah i had a long rope and also happened to have two shorter pieces laying around so i just braided those together and tied them off and the longer rope will attach to the boat
