What pressure should I pump my paddle board up to?
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. 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.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.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.
Is 10 psi enough for a 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 electric paddle board pump is about 1 minute per psi. So about 10-15 minutes for any of the inflatable paddle board.
Why does my paddle board deflate when I take the pump out?
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. Turn the SUP board valve stem to the CLOSED (UP) position. 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.
