Nixy sells a great landing mat that we use for our own SUPs, while a bigger tarp would do great for inflating more than 3 boards on one surface. Inflate to your PSI limit, don’t exceed it: The adaptors come in two sizes – small (usually for personal use) and large (usually for commercial purposes). The threads on one end are made to fit into ports found on many SUP boards while threads on the other side match most common water sports pumps. There are also adapters where there is no threading at either end of the connector, only an open hole which fits over your hose or nozzle attachment so you can customize it to just about any size imaginable. Pros and cons of SUP pump Adaptors Pros The length of the inflation hose varies from one pump to another and it is usually indicated along with other specifications. The hose should easily reach your SUP even when using the car cigarette lighter. The design of this pump adaptor is really great. It’s made to be lighter than most of its alternatives but still has a sturdy, durable design. It’s very easy to attach it to the SUP board for easier pumping and inflating. It’s also simple and small enough to easily carry around with you.

First, they allow for the inflation of SUPs and other inflatables where there is an incompatibility in valves between the pump and SUP. 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. Every paddle board has a recommended psi limit. The more you inflate a SUP, the more rigid it will be. But exceeding the limit may cause damage to your board. Sea Gods’ Battery Electric SUP Pump is the newest pump on this list, with Sea Gods just launching it this past season. And while we haven’t put it through quite as much of a beating as the pumps mentioned above, we absolutely love this pump for its portability and travel-friendly nature. 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.

No LCD screen: You set the desired pressure using a manual dial. This works, but I’d expect something a bit more high-tech given the price. If kept cool in the bag, the SereneLife pump can inflate 3-4 boards on a full charge, though we recommend giving it a rest after 2 to avoid overheating. In the case that your pump does overheat, it’s covered by a 30 day warranty. We’d appreciate a longer warranty period, but given the lower price for a portable pump, it may be a fair trade-off. Specs Voltage Required: We also love the convenience of being able to recharge the power unit. You can charge it up while you load your car or during your drive, and we’ve found that we can inflate around 2 boards with a single full charge. Diversity 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. The Overmont Inflatable Boat SUP Air Pump Adaptor Standard Schrader Conventional Air Valve Adapter is a handy accessory for your inflatable boat. This adaptor will allow you to pump up the air in your boat without having a compatible pump valve as well as being able to switch between using an electric or manual pump.

The Thurso SUP pump will work with all Thurso inflatable boards and any iSUP with the Halkey-Roberts valve. This pump can inflate up to 20 PSI within 15 minutes. 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. During the first stage of inflating your board, this electric pump is very quiet. During the second stage, it’s as loud as most other electric pumps.

Schrader Valve Adaptor (adapts to a bicycle tire valve or boat inflatable and uses the same electric outlet). Those looking for the optimal pump face the dilemma of finding the one model that fits SUPs, kayaks and all the air mattresses. Power Source Again, we really liked this pump. 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: The aspects you should consider when buying a SUP pump adaptor include the following: Type of SUP pump valve
