... it was more the fact that going from 9 struts to 0 struts appears to be where designers are going now a days, and how crazy does aspect ratio of 10 look!
ps the Reo looks like Nate Johnston's 'New' Alibi kites, wide tips, he was ahead of his time I think.

Both those kites hardly look similar in real life. Not to mention that "New" design isn't actually that old anyway.
p.s. You can say that a lot of kites look similar, but usually none of them really fly the same.
I rode the Alibi for 2 season, (11 & 8) I thought quite highly of them.
The Alibi was an awesome frestyle and wake kite.
I didnt rate it as a wake kite- but thats just me.
I'll tell you something for nothing, that 8m Alibi, in 30knot winds would booooooooost you to the moon and back, that thing was a speedie little rocket. Good memories on that kite.
My only regret was not flying it 4 lines, 5 line kites just cause trouble. But thats a discussion for another day.
