Hey guys,
Rear line wing tip adjustments.. affect bar pressure and turning speed (maybe).
Do they affect upwind ability?
I think that I've found moving them in, away from the tip (increasing bar pressure) has helped my angles upwind a bit- but I'm not sure if it's all in my head.
What do you think?
p.s. I'm on either a 9m rev or 13m octane.

Funnily enough - I was playing about with the settings on a customers 11m Octane last week and found that yes - putting the rear lines closer to the front lines gave you better upwind performance...
I've never seen this work on any other kite though - maybe it's just a thing with Octanes/Revs?

Ah good, so I'm not making these things up in my head. What do you think of the octane's abilities upwind?

Great - especially when ridden fast... Much easier than say the Slingshot Turbo2 or Key...
