it's not a new kite material
Just some science stuff their experimenting with.
Their looking at it's potential for electronics and membranes etc

I highly doubt you will see a kite made out of this. At least not in the next couple of years.

Remember Cuben Fiber and the Best Hellfish?

I won't be holding my breath

The Hellfish: a car cover that will make other car covers obsolete! (or something like that)

Just a thought, does anyone have a copy of the original Hellfish pimping add they could post?
Would be sure to get a laugh

I heard Stabber Kites International Company Incorporated Pty Ltd will be using some pretty speccy materials when their kites are released.

I heard they were going to be released last week, but the Apple asked them to delay so not as to distract from the ipad 4 and iphone vista.

I heard the material is so secret it has only got a code-named

I heard that code name is 'cheeep-phur'

I do not know if anything I heard is true

Trant, thanks for that, the words are familiar, however I recall the hellfish was only (going to be) available in silver.
I flew a 'Best' for a few years but have to say their pimping of the hellfish is the standard that all other pimping is measured by...
