Are FunWater paddle boards any good?
If you’re looking to try paddle boarding for the first time and want the convenience of an inflatable board with a full package of accessories for an outrageously low price, the funwater is a great option. The funwater is a solid all-around board that includes everything you need to get started. Plus, the repetitive paddling motion helps tone and strengthen your arm, shoulder, and leg muscles. Mental focus and concentration: paddleboarding requires concentration to stay balanced and navigate the water.In order to propel the board forward force must be transmitted from the paddle through the paddler’s entire body. Joints are the week points: wrists, elbows, shoulders, back, knees, and ankles. The exact process that makes stand up paddling so good for your core also makes it potentially bad for your joints.Keep your arms straight and twist from your torso as you paddle. Push down on the paddle grip with your top hand rather than pulling the paddle back with your lower arm. It’s helpful for some people to think of pulling the board past the paddle rather than pulling the paddle through the water.Stand up paddle boarding is an excellent full-body workout, meaning, it works all the muscles in your body – your shoulders, chest, back, core, arms and legs. And while you’re getting fit, you get to be outside, in the sun, enjoying beautiful views and the sounds of nature.
What is the pressure for the FunWater paddle board?
What are the steps to achieve optimal inflation with my Funwater Inflatable SUP? Connect the air pump to the inflation valve of the board. Begin inflating the board until it reaches the recommended pressure, typically between 12 to 15 psi. The best inflatable electric SUP pumps will have enough power to inflate your paddle board to its suggested PSI (13-17 PSI) in 5- 10 minutes.
How do I know if my paddle board is inflated enough?
If it feels like you’re bouncing on a trampoline, then it’s not inflated enough and needs more air. Just to know, if you are using a hand pump with a built-in pressure gauge, it may not be able to register to true air pressure inside your board until it gets at least around 7 PSI. Our inflatable paddle boat or board takes about 10 minutes or less using manual air pump for inflatables for any of our inflatable paddle boards. This hand pump comes included with every inflatable paddle board package. The electric paddle board pump is about 1 minute per PSI.Your paddle board is fully inflated when it feels firm to the touch and does not flex under pressure. Most boards have a recommended PSI, typically around 12-15 PSI, which you can check using the gauge on your pump.Your paddle board is fully inflated when it feels firm to the touch and does not flex under pressure.

Why won’t my paddle board inflate?
If the pump won’t build pressure all you need to do is add some sort of lubricant, like Vaseline. Unscrew the top of the pump and add a glob of lubricant to the cylindrical piece on the inside. Then screw the pump top back on and rotate the handles to get it evenly coated. The lack of pressure buildup is caused by a lack of lubricant in the pump or unevenly distributed lubricant.

Do you inflate paddle board valves up or down?
To Inflate – Valve pin UP Press and turn counterclockwise to the UP position. This activates the non-return valve and prevents air from escaping when you remove the pump hose. This may seem counterintuitive, but it works because a closed SUP valve has a rubber stopper on a spring that allows pressurized air to push through the valve while preventing air from coming back out. If you leave the valve stem in the open position, you will lose all of the air pressure when you remove the hose.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.
