This pump is extremely easy to use and wont require you to hand pump your board. Generally speaking, lighter paddlers (under 180 lbs) can inflate the board to 15-18 psi, while heavier paddlers (over 180 lbs) should inflate to 15-22 psi.The best inflatable stand-up paddle board PSI level is anywhere from 10 to 15. Most people inflate their board to about 10 to 12 PSI.What PSI should my board be inflated to? We recommend inflating your board to 12-15 PSI depending on rider height and weight as well as ambient temperature. On a hot sunny day, you may need slightly less air than on a colder day.Most inflatable SUPs require inflation pressures between 10-15 PSI, but always check your board’s specifications. Inflation Speed and Efficiency: Consider how quickly and easily the pump can inflate your board.
How long does it take to pump up a paddle board with an electric pump?
The electric paddle board pump is about 1 minute per PSI. So about 10-15 minutes for any of the inflatable paddle board. For all-round boards , or boards that you use for multiple purposes, an air pressure of 10-17 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) is recommended. For race boards , the air pressure is slightly higher, about 15-20 PSI.The electric paddle board pump is about 1 minute per PSI. So about 10-15 minutes for any of the inflatable paddle board.The best inflatable stand-up paddle board PSI level is anywhere from 10 to 15. Most people inflate their board to about 10 to 12 PSI. A higher PSI will help if you are riding in cold or choppy water. If you need a bit more stability, try increasing the PSI of your board as well.The best inflatable stand-up paddle board PSI level is anywhere from 10 to 15. Most people inflate their board to about 10 to 12 PSI. A higher PSI will help if you are riding in cold or choppy water. If you need a bit more stability, try increasing the PSI of your board as well.Your paddle board is fully inflated when it feels firm to the touch and does not flex under pressure.

For all-round boards , or boards that you use for multiple purposes, an air pressure of 10-17 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) is recommended. For race boards , the air pressure is slightly higher, about 15-20 PSI.Generally speaking, we’d suggest aiming for 15-22 PSI. This should ensure that your board reaches the levels of stiffness required for optimum stability, without you having to exert too much effort inflating your board or battle resistance from the valve when deflating it.Pump up the board until it reaches 10-15 PSI. It will be easy to pump at first and nothing will register on the inflation valve until the board is pretty stiff. Do not get discouraged, keep pumping.
How do I pump up my paddle board and not let air out when I take off the pump?
Take items out of the bag and lay the board on a clean surface to roll out your SUP. STEP 2: Before you start inflating, be sure that the valve’s yellow pin is in the upright position. This means the valve is closed and will prevent all of the air from rushing out when you are finished pumping. Turn the SUP board valve stem to the CLOSED (UP) position. If you leave the valve stem in the open position, you will lose all of the air pressure when you remove the hose.
