Hi Sup'ers
I recently enjoyed the fun of the Merimbula Classic and what an amazing event it was !! I'll fess up I don't ride a SUP ( got to get into that!) but what I did see was a great new pump design for the inflatable SUPs - it seem to be a much better version of the standard double action hand pump - and blue in colour , and was a low pressure double action to high pressure single action with the flick of a lever and had a 'protected' pressure gauge - very neat !!
Conversations with fellow kiters at Merimbula went along the lines of how come the SUP guys have such good pumps while the kitesurfers are still putting up with glorified K'mart specials ????
I cant remember what brand of Inflatable SUP is providing the better hand pump but Im keen to find out - apparently they were only supplying the pump with an inflatable board but I reckon there is a market for a decent pump in the Kitesurfing world !!!!
Does anyone know what that pump was (brand?)
Cheers Gavan

The blue pump is from Starboard and comes with 2015 Astro inflatable boards.
