Home Depot and Lowes have a fair bit of tubing for sale in one of the plumbing aisles.

Yeah, most of the tubing you will find is a bit soft and does not slide as well as what the kite suppliers provide.
But some of the tubing you will find is fairly tough stuff and may feel right.
If you strike out there, a local plastics supply house will have a lot of tubing in different plastic compound combinations.

Orange urethane tubing used for connecting gas stoves or high pressure air tools. At harwdare shops.

Shoot Coleman Buckley a message on his Facebook page.

He uses it for his spreader bars, he should know where to buy it.

Hydraulic tubing they use in trucks for brakes or high pressure airbreakes.

This company I dealt with when we were manufacturing windsurfing accessories(Harness Lines, Booms, Extensions). I used Polyurethane tubing. Most of your Hardware store variety is PVC,not suitable. Check them out.
