Glad you were not tired after using an electric pump. You defete one of the purpose of the isup by hauling it on your car roof.

[@danerik.westerlind]

I said how tired I was, feeling of pumping with the manual pumps. Glad that you saw the fun in that I was not tired after pumping with electric. That’s a benefit with electric, the con is that it takes longer time with electric pump. I paddle isup because it’s so durable and I damage hard boards. An isup is also perfect that you can take it in the roof rack of the car and also deflated it and take it on the bus/train/bike or in the car.🤗

Thanks, really appreciate it!!🤗

Just re-watched your Pump test video. My sister bought herself a cheap ISUP when we visited Cornwall over Easter. Her ISUP came with a pump as normal as a package. The shop owner threw in another (cheap) pump for me for, for free. We had a race last weekend to see who could pump their board up to 15 PSI the quickest. I took 8 minutes and my sister took 10 minutes. In comparison to the pumps you tested, ours are very very very slow 🙂 haha. I have looked around and found a Starboard V9 pump for 70GBP, so deciding whether to buy that !!

Usch, all things cost, good things cost almost everytime more. You have more air to pump in you astro than in these tiki boards. So it will take little longer for astro than tiki. A Tiki Pump will be faster but always hard to tell if it worth it, depending of how often you pump the board.The cheap pump in this video, I was completely exhausted just to pump a board of 254 liter. Next time I hope you pump your sisters board too🤣

[@marksmall8692]

@@danerik.westerlind Tiki boards are 254 litres, whereas my Astro is 237 litres. I'll buy an electric pump, and relax with a cup of tea and eat a biscuit whilst watching my sister manually pump hers 🙂

[@danerik.westerlind]

@@marksmall8692 Oh, thought it was over 300 liters. I think that is the best, I had an electric pump that I burned. Erika thinking of buying one, everytime she needs to pump.😂

I have the Tikhine Wave Touring S 12,6 x 28 x 4,75 , 254 liters and with the Tiki Starboard pump provided my minimal time from 0 to 15 PSI is 2mn 30 seconds non stop under the very hot and wet climate of Phuket ( 30 degrees Celsius). I generally pump in double action for 130 to 150 strokes and then 120 strokes in single action. I am very pleased of my Tikhine Wave. My best friend owns the Touring M 14 x 30 x 6 and it takes him 3 more times to inflate the 389 liters iSUP to 15 PSI. I am 62 years old.

[@danerik.westerlind]

🤙2:30 is really fast and 62, 🤩! Nice to hear from Phuket. Yes it’s a big difference to pump 254 or 389l board! /D

[@didierplouhinec4899]

Just something to add. I think the inflating time varies with the weather. On a sunny dry day I need less strokes than on a rainy day. Why sometimes at a fast cadence I have to stop the double effect pumping after 120 strokes and another day I can pump it up to 150 strokes? It seems you need less strokes if you have the fastest cadence and then 120 strokes in double effect + 134 strokes in single effect bring the board to 15 PSI, total 254 strokes for 254 liters. If I pump slower it can be 270 or 280 strokes.

I have the Tiki and Titan II but thinking of getting an electric pump so I don't feel tired as much before paddling..LOL!

[@danerik.westerlind]

🤙we have the same feeling! 🤗 /D

[@didierplouhinec4899]

ridiculous, pumping is your warm-up , it reduces the risk of injuries while carrying the board to the water and paddling. 2mn 30 sec to bring my Tikhine wave to 15 PSI. If you cannot pump I wonder what can happen when the weather conditions change and you have to paddle upwind. Buy an hardboard but also be careful when loading and unloading !

[@UWI-Anna]

@@didierplouhinec4899 I'm new to iSUP but paddled wooden outrigger and kayak my entire life. I just want the convenience especially If i have to pump 3 boards at a time. Good for you though man!

[@danerik.westerlind]

@@didierplouhinec4899 well I like to have my boards inflated in our board rack. Of course it’s good for health to pump boards but it could be a lot of reason why people prefer not to pump their boards. For me it laziness, just grab the board and walk 40m down to water and paddle. Many waters in Sweden, small lakes and rivers doesn’t have any upwind problems like the sea or big lakes./D 🤗

[@Trisolo3]

I have that a GRI HP6 triple-action pump is the easiest of all. It easy to get to 20psi.

[@danerik.westerlind]

I have never tested that pump but looks really good. If it works for you it’s the best pump for you!🤩

[@GarethDix]

This is the review of the Titan 2 I’ve been looking for as I use a compact board and the Titan 1 is a pain to fit in the bag. I didn’t realise the Titan 2 was that much heavier though!

[@danerik.westerlind]

🤙Thanks! If you are stronger than me I think Titan 2 is a really fast pump! Tiki pump packs also small and are cheaper to that titan to buy here in sweden.🤗

[@GarethDix]

@@danerik.westerlind the starboard pump looks like a great option too. Thanks so much for doing the test

[@danerik.westerlind]

@@GarethDix oh, thanks, we really appreciate it!🤩

[@00Nescio00]

Really good info! Tack så mycket! I have always been super curious about these double barrel pumps, cause it does make sense, but now seeing your video i know it is not a good idea to switch from the starboard to redpaddle. I am also in the same situation where i always have to blow up 1,5 board ;) so i dont want to get a pump that makes my girlfriend pump her board even less 😈🤣😉

[@danerik.westerlind]

🤙Tack! Our “ travel boards are 250 liter, our others boards are 300-350 liters. I have start thinking of comparing 350liter board too. A bigger person than me might get a better result with titan, I haven’t the power to pump titan at same speed as starboards tiki pump. /D

[@00Nescio00]

@@danerik.westerlind i have the 14x30 touring M which is 389L i use the tiki pump up to 7psi on double action and then up to 18/20 psi on single action. Takes me about 5-6min (i need to time) but i am 1.88m and 100kg so i do use my weight. But what you mentioned about the height of the pump i also feel that! I would wish the pump be 10-15cm heigher for my length 👌

[@danerik.westerlind]

@@00Nescio00 389L is so much to pump! I guess you mean the Zray pump that was to low for me, tiki pump is right height for me but to tall for Erika. Should be perfect with pumps sizes and heights like paddle sizes for different body types! How do you like your board? /D

[@m.h.431]

I have the Starboard Tiki and Titan II because of a Board from each Manufaktur. If you optimise the Titan a little, it is much faster than the Starboard. The Titan has a problem from the manufacturing point of view. But that can be fixed with a few minutes' effort. Board 13.2 to 20PSI with Starboard 9 minutes 19 seconds with Titan 5 minutes 52 seconds. You also need much less lift and its easier when pumping from 15psi< But I miss a bit the deflat function...

[@danerik.westerlind]

Thanks for your input, great to hear, every paddler is different in size and strength, I'm to light weighted for Titan. I also think that a board with more volume like red paddle 13.2 is better with Titan. I thinking of doing a test with 350 liter board. I guess the best combo for me is to start on Titan and when it get´s to heavy continue on Tiki.

[@ragetobe]

How do you optimise the titan 2?

[@m.h.431]

@@ragetobe First loosen the 6 screws that are screwed into the upper part of the cylinder. Then you can remove the upper part with both pistons! Remove all grease from the cylinders and piston plates. The inside wall of the cylinder may remain greasy. Only all the excess must be removed. Pull off the rubber rings on the piston crowns, remove the excess and lightly grease again. There are 6 rubber pressure relief valves in the piston head. Spray them with silicone oil and remove any excess. Reassemble everything! Then loosen the 6 screws on the underside and remove the 2 caps. Underneath are 2 more overpressure valves. Carefully pull out both with the plastic grille underneath. Clean them and apply silicone oil. Reassemble everything. Now you no longer have air resistance in the cylinder due to the excess cylinder grease and the overduck valves move smoothly and close perfectly.

The Tiki pump seems impossible to buy here in Norway, do you have any shops in sweden you can recommend that might have it?

[@danerik.westerlind]

Hi looks like Surfsport in Stockholm has it in stock. www.surfspot.se/sv/starboard-tiki-pump
