No one really likes pumping iSUP's up by hand and would much rather be on the water instead. Well with this pump that is possible. Connect and press go and it can inflate to your required pressure upto 20psi maximum and switch off automatically. Having just had a completely new redesign internally, O'Brien have remade this pump using all of the own specifications and parts. As a result you can confidently rely on the functionality and longevity of this pump unlike other cheaper brands on the market.
We have been using this pump ourselves and it does fit most brands of SUP without issue but can be a very tight fit to some connections until the prongs wear in. We gave ours a light sand with some sandpaper under the clip arms and it make it fit everything much easier faster. The other option is changing the rubber washer to a slightly thinner one is you have trouble.
Please note you need a powerful supply to your car adaptor otherwise you can end up popping fuses in modern cars or connect direct to the car battery and maybe have car running if the battery is small as this and other electric pumps do take power and you don't want to jumpstart the car after pumping a few boards. ;-)
