No, do it on my own. It is pretty easy. Just figure 8 the lines on to the bar after a session.
I stretch the lines out using the board as a counter weight. Sometimes, rarely, they are completely untangled at this point. Usually though I rotate the bar untangling as much as will untangle. Then I put the bar down on the sand and walk towards the board pulling the lines apart. Usually I can get right up to the board and untie one set of lines, pull them through the last tangle and all done. You can look down the lines all parallel and separated, you work out spins in the individual lines as well in the process.
Been doing it this way for many years. Works well. I'll try to shoot a video of it and put it up. There are many ways of setting up, this is just one more. On the other hand you'll be hard pressed to get tangled and lofted by your lines or miss attach them using this approach.
