I went to go do a major trimming of the cucumbers today and a few of my really juvenile cukes (I don't know what else to call them...) are quite curled. However they all seem to straighten out as they mature.
Our sword cucumbers(similar to English) do the same. Start out a bit curled but straighten out as they mature toward harvest time. They can start out as nearly a complete ring a few inches across to end up a straight 15" long cucumber when harvested. These are also on a trellis so stretching out straight is pretty easy for them.
