LE Tension

Just got my new DS! Can anyone advise me on best practice with regards to the LE line tension when packing away your kite? Do I leave the tip nock on keeping the line tense or disconnect from the nock each time? Not sure if it will cause it to stretch over time if I leave it tense?

Unless its going to be unflown for a *long* time, just leave it tensioned. Thats what most everybody I know does anyways.

Except for kites with light spinnaker Leading Edges and not Dacron and with a simple hole in the LE without reinforcement for the bridle tension. Flexifoil Matrix for example.
