A quick search produced Goodwinds and a good price on the P100. I'd use one for the boom. 1/8" pultruded spars have worked fine for me. Rick found cf tubes in either Walmarts of Kmarts that look good.

Max - I personally stay away from pultuded tubes. I prefer wrapped tubes around 1/4" or 5-6 mm. There are plenty of kite stores online that sell them for $10-12. A Skyshark P100 will just fit in the AG 37 tip rib.
