Second hand air to inflate kite (video)

This does have potential for kite to kite at least. I could only have to pump one kite per session or I could use the air from someone who is going home.

That said, many kites are very easy to pump nowadays but my 2013 Slingshots - very difficult for the last 2 PSI.

I would give you my air.

Ha I said that to someone the other day at the beach who had landed due to wind picking up and I was also about to pump a smaller kite. My friend that day had to pump 3 kites, me just 2, but it would be such a good thing to be able to transfer air from one kite to another. Maybe I'm just lazy too, but it was more a case of seeing all that good energy (pumped air) go to waste.
