With that said, let’s get into our list of our top 4 recommended electric pumps to help you narrow down your selection and make the best choice to fit your needs. Best Electric Pumps for Inflatable Paddle Boards (iSUPs)- 2023 As I said, we’ve not been able to test out Thurso’s newest version of their surf SUP electric pump, we’ve had no problem inflating two boards in a row with their older version. Thurso does a great job of making a compact but capable pump. Specs Voltage Required: The ease with which you can use your SUP pump adaptor determines how suitable it is to the task. You don’t want awkward connections which require fitting and refitting just to get the pump working. You shouldn’t need any tools or help to make this work. Time taken to fill Slow to inflate: The Nixy was slower than other models, taking just over 9 minutes to inflate the test board. This pump inflated my demo board in less than 10 minutes. It inflates to a maximum pressure of 20 psi.

Other materials, like plastic or aluminum require a lot more patience to attach but this is often worth it as these materials are lighter and allow for easier transport of your pump system. They also tend not to corrode so if that’s something you care about then keep looking until you find what suits your needs best. 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. 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. Very slow to inflate: This was by far the slowest of the pumps I tested, taking 13 minutes to inflate my board. Not guaranteed to work with all boards: The pump is designed for Thurso boards. It may fit other boards with a HR valve, but this isn’t guaranteed.

There are a few things I don’t like about this SUP pump adaptor. The first is that the plastic material seems to be very thin, which might make it more prone to ripping over time. The second thing I’m not too keen on is how you’re supposed to use your thumb and index finger (with no glove) to activate the air valve – though maybe this isn’t an issue for those of us with small hands.

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 SUP pump adaptor is quite simple, it’s a round ball shape with an air valve attachment. The adaptor has no moving parts that require maintenance and the design of this product allows for easy installation onto your existing SUP pump. Another thing we like about portable power banks is that they can power a wide variety of devices. As long as there’s a USB port, you can use the same power bank that you use for your iSUP to charge your phone, laptop, camera and most other electronics without needing to search for an outlet. The aspects you should consider when buying a SUP pump adaptor include the following: Type of SUP pump valve 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.

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. Remember that all our estimated delivery times are quoted in "working days". Weekends and bank holidays are not included in estimated timescales. The Thurso Surf stand up paddle board air pump connects using a cigarette lighter or alligator clips. What I Like Multiple adapters: The pump comes with valves for various inflatable objects. To get a precise fit, use the O-ring that comes with the hand pump for your paddle board. The paddle board pump has a digital display and an auto-off function. All you have to do is set the psi and let the electric pump do the rest.

Any experienced SUP paddler will tell you the same thing: once you've inflated it even a time or two with the manual pump, you're over it. It's the most exhausting part of the day! So unless you're really in it for the cardio and shoulder workout, it would be a big step up to consider an Electric Paddle Board Pump. There is a digital display that lets you choose the Psi limit. After selecting the limit, switch it on and it will automatically shut off when your board is inflated.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. 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 Thurso SUP pump will work with all Thurso inflatable boards and any iSUP with the Halkey-Roberts valve. Most inflatable standup paddleboards come with hand pumps – which are great and convenient. Using a manual hand pump is not that difficult and it will only take you 5-10 minutes before your board is fully inflated.Carry bag for portability: The pump and accessories come in a carry bag equipped with a shoulder strap for ease of transport. There are some downsides including its durability. It’s not the most durable device out there, so you’ll want to take extra care when using it. It also has no air release valve either which can make sealing your boat more difficult if you’re in need of releasing some built-up pressure from your pump.
