just headed down to rays outdoors and got a coleman rechargable pump RRP $60 down to $45 as they're having a 25% off sale.

i'm suprised more people don't use them, guess not everyone is as lazy a bastard as me

anyway grab one today cheap if you've been thinking about it so i'm not the only ****er on the beach with one

it wont work.

Its got a fan inside, and not a positive displacement compressor. It will only pump till about .5psi. Good if u have say a 20m kite, useless for anything else though.

The proper kite pumps have two stages.

High volume low pressure- this is basically the same as above, just a fan. Like 400lpm to 1/2psi

Low volume high pressure- I believe they have a recipricating piston compressor or a diaphragm compressor. ~100lpm to 12psi.




Something like this would be better

Although the highpressure stage is very high, so I would say it is probably only like 10lpm. Has a pressure gauge though (will also be useless though)!!.
