Epoxy Tubing
A durable, hollow fiberglass spar that is stiff yet has a little flex. Perfect for kite building. Cut with a fine hacksaw blade. We recommend using vinyl end-caps to protect the kite sail. |

Prospar and Prospar Comp Spars
Carbon and fiberglass combined give the performance of carbon spars without the fatigue and splitting failures. ProSpar Comp has more carbon and is the lighter of the two. All spars are 32.5" long. |

Solid Fiberglass Spars
The 48 inch spars flex evenly with no warping or breaking like hardwood spars and they are heavier. Solid fiberglass spars make your kite stronger, but require more wind to fly. Vinyl end-caps on spar ends protect kite sail. Use a fine hacksaw blade for cutting. Do wear gloves to avoid splinters. |

Avia Sport Carbon Spars
Carbon and wrapped carbon offers the highest degree of weight and stiffness, yet is the most fragile. Solid Microcarbon rods are lightweight and are usually used in small and ultralight kites as well as in stand-offs and whiskers. Pultruded carbon shaft. |

Avia Tapered Carbon Spars
Avia G-Force spars have a tapered, wrapped shaft for high performance. All G-Force spars taper from .345 inches to .252 inches. |

Hardwood Spars
Easy to work with, inexpensive and lightweight. These 48 inch spars are manufactured from select, kiln-dried hardwood. To protect kite fabric, we recommend using vinyl end-caps or rounding ends with sandpaper. Hardwood spars warp after prolonged use or if stored vertically. Keep extras on hand for replacements. |

Windsock Tubing
We use this plactic tubing in most of our standard sized windsocks. The 1/4" outside diameter makes an attractive symetrical ring when formed into a circle. Use the 3/16" outside diameter solid core welting as a 1" long insert to hold the two ends together when forming a ring. |
