I understand that there is a strength to weight ratio that is critical but surely the technology is available and still be cost effective. Bladders and valves continue to be problematic. Could a thinner poly be lamenated to provide more than twice the durabilty and still have similar properties that are necessary? If so why are they not utilizing them? Is research being done?        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
