The SUP pump which gets people talking the most has to be the Red Paddle Co Titan Pump. This pump comes as standard with all new Red Paddle Co paddle boards (except ‘The Whip’ 8’10 – comes with the single cynlinder HP Pump) and is available seperately on its own.
Intially, inflatable SUP’s came with high volume pumps from a Kiteboarding background and while they inflated the boards quickly, you could never get the all important high pressures which ensured a solid ride. So, brands started to include smaller high pressure pumps. While you could now get to the pressures required, it took ages to get their because you didn’t have the same large volume of air blasting into the board. So Red Paddle Co had a light bulb moment, what if you combined both!
Although the Red Paddle Co Titan looks simple on the outside, there is some clever patented stuff happening on the inside. The result is you use both cylinders to get the volume into the board. Because you are using two cynlinders, it is lot quicker than any other pump. Once you can’t get anymore air in, normally around 8 – 12PSI (depending on the person doing the work), you remove a simple toggle from the back of the handle and just use the high pressure cylinder all the way up to the desired pressure of 18 – 20PSI as shown on the fitted guage.
