New jib sails have hard creases - how do I get them out?

Yeah, almost sailed into the side of a 40-ish foot monohull at 20-ish kts with the kite up because the jib didn't have a window... -

your jib was obscuring your view more than your spin? -

Well, maybe I should have also said that the main didn't have a window either.... But, when the spin pole is low and the jib tack is on the pole, yes it actually does keep you from seeing what you might normally be able to see through the window and under the foot of the kite or upwind.
