The ones that never let you down — no battery, no cable, no drama.
These are the classic double-action hand pumps and sturdy foot pumps we keep in stock because they simply work. Light enough to leave in the boot, tough enough to live there for years, and always ready when the electric pump is flat or you’re somewhere with no power.
Pump on the push and the pull — switch to single-action when the pressure climbs and it gets harder. Most people inflate a SUP board to 15–18 PSI in 5–8 minutes of steady work, and an inflatable kayak even quicker. The handles are comfortable, the base is stable on sand or grass, and the long hose keeps you from crouching awkwardly.
Step on the wide base and let your legs do the work. Surprisingly quick and easy for kayaks, towables, and aqua-park pieces that need lower pressure but lots of air. Ideal for kids who want to help or when your arms have already had enough.
Both pump types include a full adapter set (bayonet, push-fit, Boston, HR, Clic) plus a clear pressure gauge so you stop at exactly the right number.
One board, no rush, no power nearby → hand pump
Bigger jobs or you prefer using your legs → foot pump
Pick the pump that matches how you actually get to the water. It will be ready when the electric pump isn’t.
