This replacement hose for our paddle board pump is used for the iSUP Hand Pump. This air pump for inflatable paddle boards comes included with every inflatable paddle board package order. This paddle board pump will take about 5-8 minutes to fully inflate an iSUP board. It takes a bit of effort to get it fully inflated as this is our hand pump not our electric paddle board pump. Using this paddle board pump is like a workout before the workout as it can take significant energy.
If you do not want expend any energy before your paddle board journey we recommend buying an electric iSUP pump. These paddle board pumps are extremely easy to use. All you have to do is plug in one end into the cigarette lighter in your car and the nozzle into your iSUP. Then you just press start. Within 8 minutes your inflatable paddle board will be fully inflated. One downside to the electric pump is that is does make a loud noise while it is inflating the board. However, it takes minimal effort and is extremely easy to use. Whichever type of paddle board pump you use we recommend that the board be pumped up to 10-12 PSI.
When inflating your paddle board be sure to not use a compressor. Although you may think this is the easiest way to inflate your paddle board it presents possible damage to your iSUP. Because a compressor is so high powered it can cause some inflatable paddle boards to burst while inflating. The seams on the iSUP simply are not strong enough to handle the extreme pressure that a compressor puts it under. Because of this if you use a compressor to inflate your inflatable paddle board it voids your iSUP warranty.
