Manual Paddle Board Pumps Light in weight and reliable but hard work
Manual paddle board pumps are a lightweight and reliable option, especially for paddlers who want to travel light or venture off-grid. They don’t require any power, which makes them perfect for remote locations and spontaneous SUP sessions. However, there’s no denying they can be hard work especially when inflating higher PSI boards or multiple SUPs. Compared to an electric paddle board pump, using a manual pump takes more time and effort and can leave you feeling worn out before you even hit the water.
For regular paddlers or those who value convenience, an electric SUP pump is a far easier and faster alternative but a manual pump will always have a place and we highly recommend always having one with you.

Had a Shark 2 which was ok but had to be connected to the car and was slow to inflate. The shark 3 is so much faster and with the built in battery much more convenient. Had a few people the weekend ask what it was and were very impressed.
