Resorted to wake boarding with my kite board...if the wind doesn't come back I'll have the 360 down by the weekend.

No wind activities are;
Un twist as many line sets as I can and then wax them with paraffin.
I've got a 2"x4"x4' that has 4 large nails spread out on the board with large fishing swivels
attached. The board is mounted on my retaining wall and I have 2 large spikes driven into the ground to hold it.
Then I attach a line to a swivel and stretch out to the other end and remove the handle.
Now I start at the swivel and lift the line and carry it to the end.
The swivel will turn and remove the twist/twist's.
I do that 3 or 4 times till the line gets limp. Now I take the "Gulf" paraffin and wax the line by holding the line to the wax bar and walk it to the
end. I do that 2 times. Then do the rest of the lines the same way.
The wax is not a heavy deposit, but coats the lines and fills in the gaps and fibers.
They feel like new when you get done!
The "Gulf" paraffin is used for canning vegies and stuff and can be found at Wal-Mart.
I've found out that I have fewer wads of twisted lines to waste time getting them un-tangled.
Also It gives me a good look at my lines to make sure they don't have scuffs and wear or needs
to be replaced.
And.... that's what I do when there's no wind.

Looks like you had a great time practicing some board skills!
That was smoooooth water!
Always wondered what it would be like to board on a "mirror"...
