This is from PD’s web site on the Storm. Sparky A note about control line length: The Storm was designed with a bit of slack in the control lines for several reasons, some of which are explained in this document. We recommend keeping the control lines at their original length. Some jumpers have shortened their control lines by changing the point where the toggles are attached because they felt the slack in the control lines was excessive. If you believe your control lines are too long, we suggest you read an article on our web site titled “Getting the Best Performance From Your Canopy,” which can be found on the PD website in the informational articles. If you have read the article on “Getting the Best Performance From Your Canopy” and still want to shorten your control lines, you should only shorten them by an inch or two (2 – 5 cm). Then jump the canopy a few times to see how it performs. There should always be some slack in the control lines when the brakes are released to allow the canopy to perform the way it was designed. Keep in mind that you may need to lengthen the steering lines again after a certain number of jumps to keep them at the correct length. Also, remember that modifications like this should be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified rigger. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
