Been looking at different types of product for kites- found the perfect answer - it doesn't break down under hot sun or sea water ,sand can't grind into it causing tears,can't be punctured by shells,sticks, ripped by mad dog on beach,cut by knives of disgruntled windsurfers , etc and you don't need plastic bladders because its as tight as a drum - guaranteed to last a lifetime- only problem is that to buy enough to make a 12 metre kite you have to spend about 10million bucks - the answer - the material used in USA space suits. check it out on NASA site- the stuff is amazing and as light as a feather- lucky kiters of the 23nd century have got it made- it will be cheap as chips by then

Holy jesus

stuff the suit, im just gonna buy the Crisps & see what future kites taste like

sounds a bit like that cuben fibre best were banging on about a couple of years back. What happened to that anyway. It was supposed to revolutionise the industry.

Did somebody say hellfish

They still use it, but I don't think they use it as much as before. I think its not ideal for some areas of the kite.
