Air Box Electric Kite/Wing/SUP Pump Test and Review

[@jimpaugh2528]

RideEngine does not provide a thread-on intake filter for this pump?!! That is a huge oversight! As stated, getting sand sucked into these pumps is what kills them. It would have been trivial for RideEngine to include a small threaded adapter for a foam filter. Zip-tying a sock on the intake can be done, but then if you want to use the pump to deflate your equipment, will require cutting that off... big hassle factor.

Agreed as stated in the video. I have to assume that they will have a screw-on foam filter option in the very near future....I mean these guys are kiters and do use these on beaches etc. Until then, figure out a filter option and enjoy the pump they are awesome!!!

Best kite pump ever....it is so small and so powerful. The 2nd compression mode is pretty noisy but less so than the old bravo pumps.

I saw everyone use this pump in close spaces. I'm curious to see it inflate kite in a windy day. I think kite will fly a way or I have to hold it in which case loosing same time as manual pumping. I thought securing the kite by tread but being on the beach with many other kites doesn't seem like real option. So any thoughts on it?
