Advanced Elements Airvolution Inflatable Kayak How to Inflate and Deflate Helpful Tips for Beginners

I show you how to easily inflate and deflate your Advanced Elements Airvolution inflatable kayak.
It's not difficult, but these few tips will make your life easier, especially in determining the correct position of the air valves!
Go to any inflatable kayak meetup and you'll hear the tell-tale WHOOSH of air escaping from the beginner's kayaks who positioned their air valves improperly (I know because I made this mistake my first time too, talk about drawing all the attention on yourself!)
I use the iRocker pump: www.irockersup.com/irocker-12...
with the iRocker battery: www.irockersup.com/ir-pump-ba...
Hook up the electric pump to one chamber, then manually pump up the other chamber at the same time, it saves a lot of time, and gets your blood moving for your upcoming paddle!
I also show you the 2 methods of drying your kayak when you're done.
Feel free to ask additional questions in the comments. I love helping beginners!

At 3:04 you say the pump comes with the battery. Certainly here in the UK it doesn't, the pump and battery are sold separately, the pump is £149.99 and the battery is another £69.99 😞

You are correct. The pump and battery are sold separately, my mistake.

@@skillsmydadtaughtme880 Not a problem at all, just wanted to clarify to save others the shock I got when I saw the price of the battery and how low it's capacity is 😞

@@PedalBikerUK One battery is plenty to inflate and deflate at least 2 boats in one charge. It might even do more than that, I've just never needed more than that in one charge. I guess the next time I have a multi-day paddle trip I can not recharge it overnight and see how much it will do.

@@jasonbarker9725 That's good to know. If this pump and battery can inflate and deflate the Airvolution 2 twice over that's good going for a battery pack that will charge a phone just twice!
