just as well the season is nearing an end here - it may take all winter to untangle my lines 
it's a 17m flysurfer, 4th time out using it and had issues with the water relaunch - kite got washed up onto the rocks and filled with water 
. I managed to get it off the rocks and onto the beach with the help of a friend, and after draining the water out this is what was i was left with.
just grab one line, and pull it has hard as you can , it should eventually come free.
Repeat with each line.
Easy as...............
(very big wink )
I will donate $10 for you to make a youtube video of you throwing the whole flysurfer in a fire. If everyone chips in you can buy an ozone or something nice.
look for loops that are tangled through other loops- you will be amazed at how quickly it all comes apart.....
just what you need.
advice on how to untangle knots.
the most infuriating sound an active untangler needs to hear.
i feel the 'knot untangling person' is a species for whom a wide berth must be left. its just common sense. it would be like grabbing a bone that a rottweiler is gnawing on. you just dont do it.
Use a thick piece of cardboard (think beer carton) and start winding each line around a seperatte piece. That way you dont get new tangles when you thread the lines through each other. Wont take more than half hour or so to get them sorted.
You dont want to use card that is too bendy as your lines will fall off as it bends and you have a new tangle to sort out.
But seriously,
pull the bar, away from the kite to put tension on the lines, then undo the loops (there are no knots just loops trapped within loops). keep walking the bar away and keeping tension, should take 30 mins to an hour to get it sorted.
DON'T UNDO THE LINES FROM THE KITE OR BAR.
If you do that it really will go T!TS up and you will be like a kitten in a ball of string.
At the beginning of the season we untangled a 2 kite mess, line wrappeds, bars in bridles etc took 30 mins!
Good Luck
If you are going to/have unhooked the lines from the kite, then start first with one of the coloured lines at the pigtail end and pull it back throught the knots a bit at a time. Then once that's all the way out, repeat with the other coloured line. after they are done move to the white ones.

Seek advice from Green Pat... he drops his kite all the time. I suspect it's just so he can have some quality time with beer. 
Like others have said - one line at a time. 1st is a biatch, 2nd not far off it, 3rd easy 4th - already done!
Actually GP does have a flyesurfer so he may be able to help with the monstrous bridle prob.
Good luck and enjoy the beer. 
Haven't tried the keep-the-lines-on the-kite method described above, but a few months ago happened to me after a pulley snapped on the water..
Just grab a beer (or 3), put the telly on, sit on the couch and untangle them one line at a time..
might take a bit longer but at least you havent completely wasted an hour of your life ;)
Yeah,probly only a 3 beer tangle.
But if you take it nice and slow,
you could maybe draw it out to a six pack, hic-up
Any excuse really
