Yeah the space bags are nice for traveling. I used the cheap one from Target, picked up a 1 1/4" PVC end cap at Home Depot and drilled a 1/4" hole in the top to accept my pump nozzle.

Any worries about nozzles and one-pump tubing getting packed in so tight?

I have vacuum bagged kites perhaps 8-10 times with no issues thus far

I doubt it, though I would take extra care when folding the kite for this application to make sure that all the tubes and buckles lay as flat as possible. You could also not completely remove all of the air. Even just having the kite be half the normal folded size would be helpful.
