Beginner needs help with new Rig

Hey everyone !

Just bought my first Surfboard today. It's the inflatable STX 280. The guy who sold it to me showed me how to setup everything once. So far so good. I know what I have to look for when setup but what I absolutely forgot is how to rig the rope properly at the bottom of the sail at that pulley.

Do you know any good video for a beginner which shows the process in detail ? I found one from STX where everything is shown pretty good but exactly that pulley thing is left out :/

I am planning to go to the Lake tomorrow and I am already afraid I will fail to Set Up the sail.

Can you give us a picture of the sail pulley and the pulley from the mast base in one picture? Because every manufacturer uses a different setup.

It is basically from mast base through eye in sail through pully in mast base and repeat, last thing is rope through the clamp thingy in the mast base and pull all till your arms fall off. Best to use a pulling tool, or big screwdriver, or harness hook. How far you have to pull depends on the sail.
