Tips for inflating your SUP

Does air rush out after you are done pumping up your board?
Learn how to tell if your valve is closed to pump up your SUP to the proper PSI.

Thankyou so much. Just tried inflating my brand new untried & untested kayak, couldn't understand what I was doing wrong even with reading the instructions. You made it very clear. The South England coast awaits.

Thank you!!!! I pumped up my board THREE times yesterday and the valve was open every time, which hasn’t happened the last five times using my board since buying it. This was so simple and I am so relieved that nothing is wrong with my board :)

So if I understand right, the valve should be closed while pumping? I'm sooooo confused right now😂😂,

[@jasonmorgan198]

Me too!!

[@gt300zxtt]

In the ‘closed’ position, it becomes a one way valve

I should’ve seen this video yesterday on my first time using the paddle board! I ended up going in the water with a wobbly paddle board 😢

I am having trouble with this value. Before I starting inflating, I make sure the valve is up. But... when I remove the pump hose, I loose air immediately. If I tap it quickly, I quit loosing air. It is like it is getting stuck. Is there a lubricant spay or something that will let it pop up to the close position when the pump hose is removed? thank you so much for this video!!

Damn it! I actually did this today! Now I know :) #rookiemistake 🤣

[@lucym7980]

So before you start pumping should your button be up or down? Thanks!

[@ywmmaky]

pump while the valve is CLOSED

[@lifes2shortfitness]

[@samfraulino]

Do you have to use the pump to deflate as well? Or can you just open the valve and release all the air then proceed to roll it up?

"OPEN" IS ACTUALLY "2-WAY AIRFLOW" AND "CLOSED" IS ACTUALLY "1-WAY AIRFLOW"
not "completely open" and "completely sealed" there that's the information this video somehow doesn't convey

[@lifes2shortfitness]

Thank for your opinon
