   After many years of pumping up paddle boards I was stoked to purchase this device. Unfortunately it doesn’t live up to the sales pitch.

   The main problem is it stops pumping regularly and goes into a low growl mode that pumps more slowly and is super loud. It works for between 30 seconds and 2 minutes before hitting angry mode.

   There are other small usability issues that I can get over but aren’t ideal.

   -The fitting that connects to the stand up paddle board does not stay connected and is easily bumped out

   -Turning it on is not intuitive. Turning it off and turning it back on takes a while and is more complicated than it should be

   -There are a lot of fittings so you can pump up a variety of different things but the assembly they’re attached to it’s way too crowded, super close together which makes it difficult to use any one of them

   -It’s pretty loud especially when it goes into growl mode

   -Some of the materials are low grade. The hose for example is inexpensive cheap plastic that will likely break not too far in the future

   Everything else about it is pretty sweet. It’s not too large, is rechargeable, has a nice little carrying case, and can hold a charge for a couple paddle boards of use. It also has a built-in light which is a nice feature.

   This inflated and deflated my FOUR paddle boards on one charge. My paddle boards arent the small ones either. I charged it the day before we went out and it worked really well. It does take about 7-10 minutes to inflate a board and it is wise to keep it in shade while using so you don’t overheat it. But if you are sick of pumping them by hand, this is for you. I also love the auto shut off once it hits a certain psi.

   This pump does a fantastic job. I’ve used it a few times now pumping up my ISUP and a friend’s. I think it was doing both in about 7 minutes each (inflating to 12.5 psi). It’s definitely far easier than manually pumping. It does get hot after one pump but I just let it cool for a minute or so before moving onto the next. It handles two ISUPS with ease and shows 60% charge after both are done. I’ve only used it on the built in battery so far and not through my car. Being able to take it away from the car is so convenient. I think you could handle 4 ISUPS off the battery alone depending on how high you need the PSI.

   I didn’t find the button controls to be hard to understand. The only thing is between pumping different boards you will need to hold the power off, then put it back on and it should now start pumping the next board. It came with different rubber hose seals which you can swap out for a better fit. I do have to swap these when pumping my friends board as they need a smaller rubber seal than mine uses. You need a proper fit between the hose and valve otherwise air may be escaping while you are pumping it up. Another pro is this comes in a case. Makes it easy to keep all your parts in one place so you don’t lose anything. There are also additional hose valves which could be used to pump up other inflatables.

   Overall I have been very impressed with this pump. It works great. It does not struggle to power up multiple boards and is fast. The deflate also works well on this to get more air out of the board than if you had just pushed the valve down and were letting it air out on its own. The design is also nice because you can fit the cables under the orange top which flips up/down and keeps them in place when not in use. 5/5 stars, would definitely recommend.

   This pump is mostly terrible and I hate it. It was advertised that it could fill 4 SUP on one charge, this is not true. I always charge it the night before I go out and it has never charged to 100%, it normally stops charging between 78%-95%. So fine, it should still be able to fill at least 3 SUP, but it barely stays charged long enough to fill one SUP. So, while it could be very portable if you are planning to fill up more than one board with it (on battery) you are stuck near your car, which makes it not portable at all. It also takes the pump longer to fill a SUP than it does to pump it up by hand. My final complaint about it is that the PSI gauge is not accurate. I will set the pump to 14 PSI, and sometimes the air pump shuts off when the PSI reads 8, other times it will keep going up to 14. I have always checked the PSI after with my manual pump and it has always been filled to 14 PSI.
   There are some good points to it, such as: it does fill up my paddle board to the correct pressure, and it is very portable – if you are only filling one SUP with it.
   I’ve used it multiple times thinking that maybe I was doing something wrong, however, it wasn’t me. So here we are, I tried to love it, but then I settled on just trying to like it… But I actually hate it.

   the pump is easy to operate as well as provide easy inflation. It comes with many adapters that should fit anything you need to fill. The greatest function for. Me is that you can deflate and pack your mattress, paddle board or raft into teh original box.
