What PSI should a hydro force paddle board be?
Use a manual or electric pump to inflate the board to the recommended pressure (typically 12–15 PSI). Check the pressure gauge to avoid over-inflating. 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.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.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, we’d suggest aiming for 15-22 PSI.

How much air should I put in my paddle board?
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. 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.
Can you use any pump on a paddle board?
Note: You can over inflate these boards and damage them by using a high-pressure air compressor. Keep this in mind when you attempt to use anything other than the high-pressure hand pump or electric pump that we sell. Never Over Inflate However, you should never put too much air into your board. Not only will this be particularly time-consuming, but excess pressure can also cause damage to the board which may threaten its lifespan and performance.
Why is my paddle board pump not reading pressure?
The gauge on your inflatable board will not register until the board is at 7-8 PSI. Even though it seems rigid, it will still be able to get more pressure. There is no way to over-inflate or damage the board with the pump provided. Just keep pumping until it registers! Attach the free end of the pump hose to the H3 valve on the board and twist clockwise until it locks into place. 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.Pump, pump, pump and you’ll see the gauge needle dance around a bit. Once you reach 12-15psi, the needle will hold it’s position a little better, however, the gauge will only read while you are pumping and the air is being pushed into the board.
How to know when a paddle board is fully inflated?
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. 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.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.
Why is my inflatable paddle board not inflating?
Although this is rare, the manual pump that comes with every inflatable paddle board package can sometimes malfunction. The lack of pressure buildup is caused by a lack of lubricant in the pump or unevenly distributed lubricant. The lack of pressure buildup is caused by a lack of lubricant in the pump or unevenly distributed lubricant. 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.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.
