What is it?

Outdoor Master has created one of the top electric SUP pumps on the market. If you own or have experience with inflatable watercraft, you know how challenging it can be to inflate them manually. But the Whale Electric SUP Pump does all the work for you!

What sets it apart?

The Whale Electric SUP Pump is loaded with a ton of features and benefits to give you efficiency and time back when hanging with friends and getting ready to head out on the water. First, it is rechargeable and portable, so you don’t need external batteries to make it work. It works hands-free with a display screen that tells you all the information you need when inflating your gear. The Whale Electric SUP Pump also comes with five nozzles, so you can use it on inflatable pools, tents, boats and bounce houses, in addition to paddleboards and kayaks. It has an automatic shutoff when done and allows you to inflate two to three paddleboards in a row.

How do I use it? 

Make sure your Whale Electric SUP Pump is fully charged and bring it waterside along with your inflatable paddleboards. Select the paddleboard nozzle that fits the valve on your board and hook up the hose to the inflate section on the Whale and your paddleboard. Turn on the Whale and let it work. You can monitor the progress on the easy-to-read display screen. Each inflatable paddleboard takes about 10 minutes to inflate with the rechargeable Whale Electric SUP Pump. After your time on the water, hook the hose back up to the deflate area on the Whale, and your board will fully deflate just as easily. If you forget to charge the Whale, you can still run it on an AC wall outlet or a 12V car outlet (both cords supplied in the box).

Adventurtunity Family’s insight:

We have had our inflatable paddleboards for over a year now and love getting out on the water. However, neither of us looks forward to the inflation process, which can take us up to 20 minutes per board using the manual hand pump. Our boards need to be inflated to 16 psi, and trust us, it’s a workout! This summer we are hoping to spend even more time on the water and decided to invest in an electric SUP pump. After doing our research and reading reviews, we decided on the Whale Electric SUP Pump. We’ve been really impressed with how it works, and it recharges relatively quickly. The best part is that since it has a rechargeable battery, we can take it waterside to inflate our boards instead of having to do it at the car and then carry our boards to the water. Of course, we love being able to save all our energy for paddling on the water versus having to manually inflate the boards first. Having the Whale has been a game-changer for us, and we are finding ourselves spending even more time on the water!
