Well-made and sturdy: You can feel the quality of the Shark II when you use it. This is a pump that will handle regular use for a number of years. It inflates up to 15 Psi which makes it perfect for SUPs. It inflates at a high pressure until your iSUP is as rigid as it can be. The Sevylor is the fastest electric air pump in the test and inflated my demo board in a little under 7 minutes. The best part of these adapters is they are universal so you don’t need to worry about which valve your board has since they’ll fit a majority of valves. Just insert into Schrader Valve on paddleboard, push down firmly onto surface while pumping up. The next one the list is the Oumers Inflatable SUP Pump Adaptor Air Pump Converter. It’s one great adaptor with 4 different nozzle designs for different pumps on SUPs, kayaks and other inflatables. It’s one of the best to get given its high level of adaptability. The Seamax works for inflatables with the Bravo, Halkey Roberts (HR), Naru and similar air valves. Make sure you get the best O ring size for an airtight connection.

Because of this, we see tons of people out on the water with half-inflated boards, not having as much fun as they could be. This is why an electric pump is our number one recommended accessory when it comes to building out your paddle kit. Most iSUPs come equipped with a manual pump in the kit. Depending on how strong you are, or how good your cardio is, it can take about 10-15 minutes to inflate. 15 minutes may seem like no big deal, but once you get your board past around 6 PSI, using the manual pump gets to be a decent workout.Fast to inflate and deflate: The Shark II got the second spot in my speed tests, inflating my board in under 8 minutes. The aspects you should consider when buying a SUP pump adaptor include the following: Type of SUP pump valve The electric pump has an active cooling system that prevents it from overheating as well as a deflate function. Low cost: The SUP20S is the cheapest pump in this review. It’s great value for money – if it doesn’t break.

Speed is also another important factor. There are slow electric paddle board pumps out there. So while you won’t get tired inflating your SUP, the process may take longer than it would have with a hand pump. Durability concerns: Although the issue with the hose has now been resolved, this pump doesn’t always stand up to the test of time.

Sea Gods went the extra mile here as well, to add an extra bit of versatility and convenience to this pump by equipping it with a flashlight mechanism, cord storage compartment, collapsible carry handle, and travel case. They’ve also thrown in a variety of nozzle heads, enabling you to use this pump for all of your inflatable goods. Very slow to inflate: This was by far the slowest of the pumps I tested, taking 13 minutes to inflate my board.

It’s a great idea for someone that’s a frequent flier and constantly finds themselves in airports scrounging for a place to charge up. They’re also great for general safety, as you could hook up your phone to charge and throw it in your drybag to avoid the risk of a dead phone in the case of an emergency on the water. Affordability There’s a lot of variables that can lead to your pump burning up, outside of simply over-using it. Those of us that live in hot climates need to keep an even closer eye on our electric pumps. There’s also the possibility of your pump’s vent system getting clogged with sand or dirt, as well as consistently inflating to a higher PSI.The SUP pump adaptors are connected to the valves of your board and can also be categorized as threaded and compression. Threaded adaptor screws onto the valve, while compression can be used with both threads or without them. This is a good pump adaptor to have if you use a paddleboard with the Schrader valve. You can also use this to inflate a raft or floaties with air. I like that it’s a quality adapter and you get good, fast inflation from the pump. Every manufacturer hypes their product and you can easily get confused if you don’t know what to look for. Noisy: If you want to hold a conversation while inflating your board, you may need to step a few meters away!

nozzles: Charge your paddle board, kayak, dingy, and other inflatables with multiple nozzles for different valves. This is a great pump adaptor for inflatable SUPs, and can be used in a variety of ways. It’s also very easy to install on the boards because it only takes a few minutes to work. Heavy-duty extension hose: The Sevylor pump now comes with two hoses. Make sure you use the heavy-duty high-pressure hose to inflate your SUP! This challenge is one of the reasons we developed the Titan pump that comes standard with most of our boards. This powerful pump inflates to a maximum of 20 PSI in two stages. In the first stage, it works at a speed of 350 l/min and 70 l/minute in the second stage. The Seamax inflated my 11′ demo SUP board in a little under 9 minutes.

Surflogic

Although we would have liked to see this pump have a higher PSI cap (right now it is at 16 PSI), it’s still suitable for most board’s that have a max inflation of 15 PSI. If you forget to charge your battery, you can plug it into your car’s cigarette lighter like any other pump, which gives you some versatility. It also has a digital display, in which you can select your PSI and walk away without worrying about over-inflating, since this pump will shut-off on its own. We liked the collapsable carry handle on this pump, as well as its included carry bag and 5 extra nozzle pieces. Fastest to inflate: The Sevylor was by far the fastest pump in my test, inflating my test board in under 7 minutes.
