What happens if you over inflate a paddle board?
Over inflation: The Leading Cause Overinflation is the most direct path to a paddle board bursting. Boards are designed to operate safely within a specific range of air pressures, measured in PSI (pounds per square inch). Exceeding this limit can strain the board’s materials and seams, potentially leading to a burst. 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.You can also perform the pinch test. When you pinch the center of the paddle board, it should be hard to push in. If it’s easy to push in, then it’s likely not inflated enough and you’ll need to add more air.A SUP electric pump for stand up paddle boards generally tends to offer higher pressure settings, allowing for faster inflation without overheating. When it comes to pressure, make sure the pump you choose is compatible with the recommended PSI for your board.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.
How long does it take to manually pump up a paddle board?
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. Manual hand pump: approximately 4-7 minutes for most users. Electric sup pump: around 7 minutes or less, offering a hands-free experience.
