I tried sourcing one a while ago and had no joy.
If you do could you post on here would be awesome. Hard to justify the cost of new pump just for that piece. I'm onto 3rd core pump now.

Core have the fastest inflation system that I have used. The port for the air to go through makes pumping even my 19m easy as.

That said, I have tried to use other pump pieces to inflate the kite and it was a complete PITA to the point where I damaged the valve that the pump goes into. I got in touch with Core and they sent (free of charge) a new bladder (this part of the valve was part of the bladder - the new bladder now has a small metal bar going across the valve, not two small plastic nipples to hold the pump in place).

This still didn't solve my problem getting the pump into the valve and in the end I just bought a Core pump purely for the hose piece that fits into the valve port (the part that you have broken).

The guys at Action Sports will sell you a complete pump but don't stock just the part that you are chasing. Good luck and let us all know if you find a solution without buying a complete pump.

I bought my daughter a core xr 4. She loves the kite but we were faced with the same dilemma as our pumps and fitting don't quite fit and going to the places above I had no joy on getting the hose or fitting alone. Then my daughter gets onto ebay. Piece of cake, a hose only, delivered to our door for a few bucks, works a treat. When she comes home for the hols I will post the supplier. In the meantime you may want to look yourself.
