Electric pumps for SUPS: how many boards can it inflate with a single charge?

Electric pumps for SUPs are an indispensable tool for carrying out your activities, because they allow you to fully enjoy all the fun that stand up paddling offers, without adding in the effort of inflating and deflating.

On the one hand, the convenience of soft or inflatable boards compared to rigid ones is evident both in their transport and in their maintenance; on the other hand however, they require an electric inflator. One of the most frequent doubts about purchasing electric pump for SUPs, both among groups of enthusiasts and families who decide to rely on this solution, concerns battery life and how many boards can be inflated with a single battery charge.

AIR FLOW IN ELECTRIC PUMPS FOR SUPS

If you fall into one of the two above categories or if, in any case, you wish to purchase an electric pump for SUP to share with a group of friends or family, one of the aspects to take into consideration is the air flow that the device guarantees.

The higher the air flow value of the inflator, the faster you can inflate and deflate your stand up paddle.

Obviously, this is not a fixed rule: the higher this value, the more power will be needed to be able to deliver it and, it goes without saying, the more power is needed, the faster the battery is consumed, in case you decide to buy a portable pump.

For example: an electric pump for SUPs with an air flow of around 400 liters per minute will consume the battery in around 20 minutes, which is an adequate time to inflate and deflate approximately three boards.

This data is to be taken with a pinch of salt, because what is valid for one manufacturer does not necessarily apply to another: all depends on the quality of the device, so always check all the information carefully before proceeding with the purchase.

SHOULD I GO FOR A BATTERY-CHARGED OR A CABLED ELECTRIC PUMP?

This is a question that many enthusiasts ask themselves during the purchasing phase which, however, does not have a single answer for everyone, because it depends on the habits and needs of each individual.

If you are one of those sports enthusiasts who thrives on adventure, goes out with friends and doesn't know exactly where and when they will use their board, then the battery-powered electric SUP pump is for you, because it doesn't bind you in any way to the inflation and deflation of the board.

If, however, you are more methodical, inflate your boards at home or on an equipped campsite, you can easily rely on a cable inflator.

There are also hybrid solutions, i.e. battery-operated pumps but which can also be used with a cable or via car cigarette lighters: with regards to this option, it is important to carefully consider all your needs and the characteristics of individual products, because they have different pressure levels from “traditional” cable ones.
