...what is the best way to relax the coils so the line is ready for the
coming season?


Just letting it sit at room temperature for a couple of months will probably
do the trick. If not.......

Heat. But not too much. Coil loosely.....say, one to two foot diameter
coils.....and hang it on a dowel, coat hanger, or what have you, in front of
a furnace vent (if you've got forced air heat) or use a blow drier. In the
latter instance I suggest using the lowest heat setting and starting at a
distance of a couple of feet. Feel the line frequently to make sure it
isn't getting hot.
