Travel pump?

Postby judoChop » Tue Sep 08, 2015 9:53 pm

does anyone make a good travel pump?

I want something that can fit in my surfboard bag and not take up much space, and which is less likely to ding my board.
perhaps a flat-wide shape?

what's out there?

Lol - that is the exact type of pump that was sold to me with my 1st ever kite - a 16m Rhino - it took forever to pump up, but was a great leg warm up!

Those foot pumps cant reach the7 psi rating for the kites, ive tried.

This exists though, when i get back to north america i am going to order one. I dunno dimension but its definitely smaller than a standard pump.

My bravo electric pump with LiPo battery has a pretty small footprint. When traveling I often throw it in my carry on.
