Seems exactly the same of the Core (and other similar pumps). I own the Core pump and it's great, much less effort and super fast.

Correct. However, ours is taller than theirs. I'll see if I can get a true side by side photo for you... however, ours is 2.9l per stroke and the Core / Fone version is 2.4l. Benefits are obviously added volume per stroke and less back strain / bending over.

The "Buy Now" button on your site takes you to an incorrect page, FYI...

LOL. True.. we are playing catch up. Please note -> NA & Europe warehouses will have these pumps in
January
... we pushed out this press release early to dealers to let them pre-order case lots and - well - I hadn't drank enough coffee and sent as well to the media and public so, now we are owning it and rolling with it!

How's the hose quality? My biggest issue with kite pumps is the crappy hoses will split if they get bent too much and then you get to the beach and realize you can't pump up because there's a crack in your hose.
Also, how does this pump compare to the Naish Airmax pump?

I totally hear you, have had that happen with my older pumps too...
These newer pumps have a much heavier gauge tube material. Time will tell how well it wears but we have been using the various samples here for close to a year and so far the hoses all are in great shape still.

What's the actual height to the pump handle with the pump fully depressed?
