So apparently SUP yoga is a thing
a popular thing in certain circles it seems
A friend of mine runs a group and has a fleet of starboard inflatables which come in @ 330ltr

I just pumped up six of the beasts
And i never want to do that again

anyone know of any electric pumps that would fill these things to their 15-18psi..?

Cheers

Awesome boards by the way

any 12v air compressor will do the job, usually you get what you pay for. When looking at specs id look at flow rate before max PSI. most those little jobies will do up to 200psi! you want flow rate to get the job done quicker. The other option is a compressed air tank thank can handle some pressure. Set it up with a regulator so you can control pressure coming out. You could have a fill valve that worked off the petrol stations tyre filler. Tip: if you have a 10ltr tank and you fill it to 10psi that same tank can hold more volume if stuffed in greater pressure ie 100psi (tank has to handle it though)

If you're doing 6 boards, don't buy anything made to pump up SUP boards - they are made from plastic and they are not up to the task. They are perfectly fine for pumping up a single board, but after doing 3 or 4, they are prone to overheating and blowing up. Get yourself an industrial strength compressor and just source the hose adaptor. You should be able to find one with a much more accurate pressure gauge. That's pretty important too.

Currently carting around 6 x Starboard SUP Polo boards and inflatable polo goals!!! I have 2 of the new Bravo pumps Set then to 16psi walk away to get the rest set up them are walking great would be lost without them

You can buy a car valve adapter (Red Paddle sell one for under $30). Then you can get a portable car air compressor of which there are heaps. This one looks comparable to the bravo but will inflate to higher pressure and is a little more versatile..www.bbta.com.au/bbt-gold-series-compressor-Anderson-Plug/?gclid=CjwKEAjwm8-6BRDgnb-Dk96UmRASJADbMycYfGW4a1cxcfbCkz-e5Mb1dFrc_DH3ZykrmgPWmTPqxxoCLcDw_wcB

Awesome
Thanks a bunch

This is considered a very good pump and quite different to others.

That's interesting, good to hear a genuine testimonial from a heavy duty user. Like a bunch of people, I have blown up a couple of Bravo pumps, but apparently they have improved.

However Bravo Australia seem to be playing it safe on their own website in saying:

"15 minute run time only (must cool down before re-use)"

Might be some arse-covering insurance-speak there.

I've had to blow up a fleet a few times for demo's etc and have found that a cheap Coleman high volume pump (basically an enclosed fan) to fill the board up with air (no real pressure) and then finish off with the supplied pump works really well, cuts the time in half compared to manually pumping or electric sup pump (which takes about the same time as full manual). The rechargeable one we use only needs to be recharged after a couple of dozen sup's and is also useful for deflating quickly and completely and works really well with our iMats and Supsquatches/Raptors etc.

The red paddle pump is a great manual pump. Just got a 12'6 x 32" red paddle explorer. Got it to 20 PSI in under 6 minutes without too much stress. Good pretty paddle warm up. It's 370 litres so I thought that was pretty acceptable. Hit 15 PSI at around 4 minutes. You have to use it properly. Get your weight right over the pump ,keep your hands close to the centre of the handle and , when it gets a bit hard to pump , keep the arms relatively straight and use your body weight to depress the plunger . I was impressed!
