Default Kinked line

After struggling with difficult windy conditions recently I have a number of kinks in the floating line. Is there an easy way to get it all back to original condition?

Thanks

Drobby

Default Twist

Hello Drobby

Could be line twist.Open space and pull it all off and lay it out on the grass.If it is in to the backing then some of the backing also.Using a cloth walk out the line running through your fingers held quite firmly and you should see twists coming out.You may have to do this a few times to clear it.Another way is to use a good swivel fixed to a post,tree or similar and attach line via leader to the swivel.Again pull it off and run out any twist.Hope this might cure it.
