Well, you wouldn’t be reading this guide if you didn’t think you need one, would you? The manual pumps that come with inflatable paddle boards are okay. Some of them are actually pretty good.Can only charge from the car: The Shark II doesn’t come with alligator clips, so you can’t connect it directly to your car’s battery. One of the best things about iSUPs is that they roll up into a duffle bag, and are way more portable than hard SUPs. However, relying on your car to inflate your board can take away some of that portability that we love so much. Carry bag included: The Ventus comes with a robust carry bag to keep the pump and accessories together.

The concept of a fully portable- rechargeable pump is great, and Outdoor Master is definitely capable of manufacturing an excellent pump that holds up through some serious use.

I’m excited to see how it holds up over more tests but its cooling mechanism, and organizational features keep the Nixy Ventus on the top-end of our list, and I would not be surprised to see it move up space as we put it through more use. Specs Voltage Required: With the addition of a portable power bank, you can make any electric pump, a portable electric pump. You can simply put the power bank and electric pump in your bag, and inflate your board once you get to your paddle spot regardless of where your car is.

Schrader Valve Adaptor (adapts to a bicycle tire valve or boat inflatable and uses the same electric outlet). Nixy has made loads of improvements with the Ventus pump. They added a cooling mechanism (what they call ‘Active Cooling Tech’), which is a great thing to look for when shopping for a good electric SUP pump, as one of the most common issues is overheating. This pump is also extremely easy to use with the digital display and automatic shutoff. You just need to set your desired PSI (the Ventus can inflate up to 20 PSI) and walk away expecting your board to be fully inflated in 10 minutes.But manually pumping your SUP is still a workout, even with a good hand pump. It is not something you look forward to, especially if you have to inflate multiple boards. Many people today are opting for inflatable boards because transporting them involves much less hassle. Electric pumps can reduce the stress of setting up and taking down even more. You can spend even more time on the water and use all your paddling power. Like most of the electric pumps that have been reviewed above, the Sevylor 12V 15 psi SUP pump has adapters to make it compatible with as many valves as possible.

Slow to inflate: The Nixy was slower than other models, taking just over 9 minutes to inflate the test board. Another thing we like about portable power banks is that they can power a wide variety of devices.

It inflates your inflatable in a single high-pressure stage to the maximum air pressure. The Seamax inflated my 11′ demo board in 13 minutes. The Outdoor Master Shark II is the second-fastest pump. Although it is slower than the Sevylor air pump, it is well-made and sturdy. You can tell that it will last a long time. I love its unique cooling system which prevents it from overheating. You can inflate up to three paddle boards in a row. Some electric SUP pumps have a cooling system and you can inflate two or more boards in a row. The OutdoorMaster is one such pump. A dual-stage electric pump has two inflation stages. It has the first stage which is high-speed and the second stage which is low-speed. The second slow and final stage reduces the risk of overinflating your paddle board.
