SEVYLOR 12 VOLT 15 PSI SUP AND WATER SPORT PUMP

is what I've been using. Pretty affordable, and does the job. You do need that "new short" Halkey Roberts adapter, and people complain about the flimsy hose...so far, no issues.

Besides saving my back, using the electric pump is shaving 15 to 20 minutes on my launch time. As the pump goes, I'm setting up the rest of my gear...couldn't imagine going back to hand-pumping, esp when it gets really hot out.

I really like the small Air Head pump I bought for my two inflatables (2015 i12 and 2016 i9).

https://www.amazon.com/AIRHEAD-AHP-12H- ... rhead+pump

It does not pump to full "Hobie pressure" required, so I just finish it off with the manual Hobie pump supplied. You know when the pump has reached it's maximum pressure, as you hear the rpm pick up (similar to a vacuum cleaner when it is up against it's maximum head displacement). The other issue is that the air valves have to be open when using the pump, so you lose a little pressure until you can get your fingers on the valves and get them closed. In the long run, it saves lots of time and sweat in 90+ temperatures. :oops:

Pardon me, I selected the wrong URL with only a 5 foot cord. :|

The one I got has a 10 foot cord and is:

Sorry about that.........

last week went up to a friend's mountain house, we brought our above water inflatable pool, forgot the pump. Found a leaf blower and used that to pump it up. Wonder if that works for kayaks. HAHA.
