Scoprega Bravo 20 electric pump<\/a> (Amazon page). It weighs around 10 pounds and its battery gives you roughly 30 minutes of pumping time, allowing you to inflate quite a few kites for you and your buddies on the beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe pumping starts a bit slow but then picks up after a short moment. It auto shuts off when it reaches a given psi that you preset, removing the risk of blowing up your bladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The e-pump works with just about every kite from all big brands on the market as it comes with many different nozzles and adapters – it can also be used to inflate SUP. It has a heavy duty<\/g>, longer than average hose.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis Bravo 20 has quite a few battery<\/g> charging options, including using any 12-volt battery such as your car battery. Obviously<\/g> you can also charge it at home. It takes about 8 hours to fully charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe pump and all its adapters come neatly packed in a nice, easy-to-carry padded bag with zipper compartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short, if you’re lazy, time-constrained, or with serious back problems, at under $300 the Bravo 20 can be a good option for making your kite pumping experience on the beach easier. While some kiteboarders may laugh at you initially, they’ll soon line up to become your best friends and use your pump for their kites (I know I probably would…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
