HOW TO INFLATE A SUP?

Inflating your inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard is a breeze and can be done at home or down by the water. Follow these eight simple steps to get it right, every time.

1. Unroll your board on a flat surface, such as sand or grass.
2. Unscrew the valve cover on the board.
3. Connect the pump hose to the board valve with a simple push and turn clockwise until it is securely in place.
4. Starting with the dial on position 1, stand the pump on flat ground and place both feet on the footrests, then begin to pump using nice, long pushes down and up. This ensures maximum air is pumped on every stroke, whilst not overexerting yourself in the process.
5. When it becomes harder to inflate (usually after two or three minutes), switch the dial to position 2, and continue pumping.
6. When it once again becomes harder to inflate, switch the dial to position 3 to finish off the final stage of inflation.
7. You want to inflate the board to within the green band on the pressure gauge on your Ridewave pump (13-17 psi). 15 psi is ideal.
8. You're now ready to paddle. Get out there!
