I've had to deal with something similar to this a couple of times. Always fun.
Not sure how you did it, but the best tip I was given was to leave the lines connected to the kite, if possible. Make the untangling heaps easier.

What about the late arvo session and you forgot to untangle the knots
from the day before.

^^^ Nah two beers tops

Just grab one end and pull it really hard and fast, that should work

I had this happen to me when I first learnt. I reckon its the sole reason I'm so absolutely anally retentive when it comes to running lines and packing them away. Usually run them twice setting up and at least once packing up. I also make sure that the end of the bar that the lines are secured at is the one that goes in the pouch down the side of the kite bag so that the ends dont get caught on stuff during transport.

I honestly had flashbacks of that situation when I saw that pic.

SHAKE them down, its the only way........
move and shake and
move an shake
shake move shake move

I don't see any tight knots in that lot so it should be a fairly easy one to sort out.
I'm with Galah on this one; two beers tops.

Even the most horrific messes i've had usually only take 3 or 4 beers at most to untangle. It's just a matter of determining if it's going to be faster to detach the lines from the bar or not.

mmmmm seen some slow drinkers in my time.

Hard to do both unless you have a straw.

I think id drink 10 just determining if it's going to be faster to detach the lines from the bar or not., then go to the shop and buy a new bar and lines.

I think you have been watching your missus Zumba work out vid to much.
Not bad to watch,,alot of bouncing.

Well if you lived in Sydney you'd have at least a month until the next windy day, to sort this out

CAMELBACKs are king when you need both hands free its just that weird rubber taste that makes the beer harder to swallow

Oh according to the video you can drink something called water as well I do enough of that when I am kiting
