SUP Electric Pump

Knowing How To Use Your SUP Electric Pump

If you’ve been wasting valuable time manually inflating your paddle board, you need to add a SUP electric pump to your other paddle board accessories. Inflatable paddle boards continue to increase in popularity because they are easily stored and transported. Once you’ve arrived at your water destination, why do the work by hand when a device will do it for you? You can store up your strength for the fun part of paddleboarding, which is paddling!

The Difference Between A SUP Manual Pump and And An SUP Electric Pump

An electric SUP pump might weigh the same as a manual pump, but it could be smaller, which will make it easier to carry. If you choose an electric pump that comes with a portable or integrated battery, you don’t need to be right next to a car to use it. Many SUP electric pumps are available for under $150.

Sure, you can use a manual pump to inflate your paddle board if you want to, but why would you want to? An electric SUP Pump can both inflate and deflate your SUP for you without you having to expend any effort. That might not sound like a big deal, but think about how you’ll feel after a day’s activity on the water? Do you want to have to deflate the board, removing all the air, so that your SUP fits into your backpack? Why not let the pump do it so that you’re spared the extra work?  If you’ve been paddling on the water all day, you’ve already done your exercise.

The Advantages Of A Paddle Board Electric Pump

You’re looking for the kind of thorough inflating that’s going to make the SUP firm. You’re going to need to inflate your SUP from 0 PSI to as much as 20 PSI, which requires some force. If you’ve been using your inflated SUP and you just need to up the PSI a bit, then a manual pump might be enough. Some people might believe that using a manual pump to inflate your paddle board gives you an added workout. But your logic tells you that you’d rather get your physical activity going once you’re on the water, paddle in hand.

You want your inflatable paddle board to feel firm and rigid beneath you when you’re on the water. The more pressure that the board can handle, the harder it will be. An inflated iSUP can feel as firm as a hard board, but is more convenient because it can be deflated and stored after use.

The recommended pressure for your paddle board can range from 8 PSI to 20 PSI or more. If your board requires 20 PSI, make sure you buy a pump capable of reaching that level of pressure. The higher the range of PSI that a pump can reach, the more versatile it is in inflating your board or boards, if you have an SUP that needs a lower PSI.

What To Look For In An Inflatable Paddle Board Pump

In order to be certain that your SUP has been inflated to the correct PSI level, you’ll need a pump with a pressure gauge. Otherwise, you won’t know if you’ve inflated your board to the correct pressure.  Underinflating or overinflating the board can have equally serious consequences.

Confirm that the pump valve is the same as the valve on the paddle board. Otherwise, you will not be able to inflate the SUP to complete strength.

What You Need To Know When Using Your iSUP Electric Pump

Inflating your iSUP to the PSI number that the board requires is very important. If you underinflate your board, the SUP won’t be able to operate at full speed. It will also be less stable. If you overinflate it, you risk breaking or bursting your iSUP.

There are lots of electric pumps to choose from, but here’s an important tip. Before making your purchase, make sure that the electric SUP pump you’ve thinking of buying is compatible with the inflatable paddle board it will be used to fill with air. Most are, but it’s always wise to be certain of this.
