Seriously, how hard is it to pump up a SUP with a manual pump ? The reason I ask is that I am about to buy my first paddleboard having hired boards in 2021 and have narrowed my choice down to two: the iRocker All-Around 11’ or the Bluefin Cruise. The BlueFin however comes with a free electric pump. A mate who owns one says the electric pump is almost essential, but to be fair he only got a single chamber manual pump with his board. The iRocker is a 2-chamber pump
@@thedapperdetectorist4741 Thanks .. yes, I think my mind is made up .. the Cruse 10'8" from Bluefin. As well as the free electric pump at the moment, the kayak seat and extra paddle ar worth it too. One UA-camr says he always traps the extra paddle on bhis board, then if he's tired or the wind gets up, it's easier to paddle back to shore .. even without the actual seat. Regards from Whitley Bay

Hi there,
I was knackered after pumping my sup with the manual pump. I definitely would recommend getting an electric one.
Good luck.
