9 Best Electric Paddle Board Pumps in 2023

If you want to inflate multiple watercraft consecutively without worrying about an on-grid power source, the TOPUMP Electric paddle board pump is a pretty solid option.

With 7500mAh of battery power, it’ll pump 3 all-round paddle boards–on average. It’s also a power bank with a standard USB plug.

Filling up SUPs with 15-20 PSI in a 2-stage process, effortlessly preparing for your session while it supplies the correct amount of air needed. It’s easy to program and easy to see because of its LCD screen.

There’s also a deflation connection for easier packing of inflatable craft.

While running, we found it’s one of the least noisy electric paddle board pumps we’ve reviewed.

The iRocker electric air pump is one of the best options for inflating a paddle board. It’s the easiest to program, but it inflates to a default 15 PSI at the push of the “auto” button.

The iRocker electric SUP pump is lightweight, compact and comes with an LCD screen for ease of use.

This pump also stops automatically when the pressure you’ve selected has been reached. With the deflate opening air can also be easily removed from your paddle board for easier packing.

This pump is durable and reliable. With iRocker’s battery pack with 12V output, we managed to inlflate 3 SUPs consecutively. While the power bank ran dry, the pump had no issues and probably could’ve done another without needing a break. According to its specs, it needs a 30 minute cooldown brake for every 20 minutes that it is running.

Be aware that it only comes with a Halkey-Roberts nozzle. Adaptors for beds and some inflatable kayaks will be needed.

The iRocker electric air pump is a popular add-on for when you buy an inflatable paddle from the iRocker range.

The OutdoorMaster Shark II is a corded electric air pump that continues the success of their first version. While the original was good on functionality, the latest improvements make the newest one popular with paddle boarders, kayakers, and for blowing up inflatable boats.

It’s especially useful when blowing up multiple inflatable boats and boards.

After continuous use for both inflatable SUPs and kayaks during summer, the Shark II proved to be a welcome accessory that makes getting out on the water quicker and easier.

The main selling point of this innovative electric air pump is the frost-activated cooling system that allows the pump to be used for up to 30 minutes, allowing you to inflate 3 paddles boards or similar inflatable products.

This electric air pump is one of the most popular products on the market and for good reason. It’s easy to use and transport and gets the job done, allowing you to inflate your iSUP or inflatable kayak using the 12V power from your car.

Additionally, the Shark II is compatible with most of the major SUP brands and many of the major inflatable kayak and boat brands.

The NIXY Ventus electric pump is a very portable, affordable pump that has proven to be one of the best.

Change your clothes or stretch while your SUP or kayak inflates. That it also deflates the inflatables makes it easier to pack up when done too.

For these reasons, the Ventus is a popular add-on when buying an iSUP from NIXY sports. It’s a 12V machine that’s easy to use, light and portable. You can use it on iSUPs, inflatable kayaks, inflatable dinghies, and other inflatable products.

The most prominent feature of the NIXY Ventus electric pump is its active cooling technology which allows you to use the pump to consecutively inflate more than one board without the pump overheating.

The Gili electric paddle board pump is a high quality pump that comes with an intuitive digital gauge that makes selecting the pressure simple and convenient.

This is a great accessory to purchase when buying a Gili Sports paddle board such as the Gili Air 10’6”.

With a carry handle designed to increase portability, this electric paddle board pump from Gili is an excellent choice for a reliable and efficient pump that can both inflate and deflate your paddle board.

It’s the same as Aquaglide’s pump, probably made in the same factory. Both are good.

This pump comes with a variety of nozzles making it ideal for inflating different types of inflatable vessels, including kayaks and some boats.

The Gili electric pump also features an automatic shut off that is not only triggered when it reaches the selected pressure but also when the pump is about to overheat.

A downside is that the pump has a usage time of about 20 minutes, meaning that you’ll have to allow for it to cool down before using it again. This is more than enough time to inflate 1 or even 2 paddle boards to 15 PSI but if you try and push it further it will automatically turn itself off.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive electric pump that’s portable and just does the job, the OutdoorMaster Cachalot ticks those boxes.  Designed to be able to inflate two boards (or other similar inflatables) in a row, the Cachalot is ideal for paddle board sessions where 12V power is available.

While it doesn’t have the sophisticated cooling system of the OutdoorMaster Shark II, the Cachalot has almost every other feature of the Shark II. Like the Shark II, the Cachalot has a digital display with a digital pressure gauge that’s easy to read in any light condition, and is powered by 12V DC power from your car outlet. Moreover, the Cachalot also has a supported pressure range of 0.5 to 20 PSI, and comes with a variety of nozzles to make it compatible with almost all brands of iSUPs, inflatable kayaks, inflatable boats, and even some air mattresses. Lastly, just like the Shark II, the Cachalot also has an auto off function, and a deflate function.

While it has a few drawbacks, the Cachalot is worth considering if you need the inflation performance of the Shark II, but don’t necessarily need to inflate more than two boards in a row and want to save a little money.

Made specifically to inflate paddle boards and inflatable kayaks, the Aquaglide Accelerator is a 2 stage electric air pump.

It is very portable, has a unique ergonomic handle, and features an automatic shutoff and deflate function.

The Aquaglide Accelerator is a 12V electric air pump that can be easily attached to your paddle board or kayak and has a number of features that make it a great addition to your paddle boarding arsenal.

Firstly, this pump is easy to use and setting the pressure you want it to inflate to is intuitive and convenient. Like the Shark II and the NIXY Ventus, the Accelerator has an automatic shutoff that triggers once the desired pressure is reached.

It also has a handle that increases its portability and makes it easy to move around.

It’s important to note that the Aquaglide Accelerator is not made to have a long runtime and will need a 10 minute break for every 20 minutes that it is on, otherwise it will overheat and shut down.

Given that this pump comes with 3 valve adaptors, it will not be compatible with all inflatables but it should work fine with most major inflatable paddle boards and inflatable kayak brands.

The SereneLife electric air pump stands out for its ergonomic design and rechargeable battery that allows you to inflate your inflatable paddle board or kayak literally anywhere you want.

The SereneLife electric pump provides paddlers with an ergonomically designed product that has a foldable carry handle for convenient transportation.

With an easy to read (and use) LCD display, this electric pump is user friendly and even has LED flash lights on the front so you can use it at night.

The unique selling point of this electric pump is the rechargeable battery that allows you to inflate your paddle board away from your car. It also features a 12V power cord in case you run out of power.

The main drawback of this electric pump is that it can only inflate up to 16 PSI. That said, most paddleboards only need to be inflated to 15 PSI so this should suffice.

Another issue is that it only comes with a nozzle specifically adapted for use with Halkey-Roberts valves, but again this is the valve featured on most inflatable paddle boards.

We recommend you buy the SereneLife electric air pump, but are aware of some issues with the battery not turning on. Most of the time it’s because the “on” button needs to be held for 3 seconds.

The Thurso Surf electric air pump has a unique pneumatic reader for measuring the pressure and is smaller and more compact than the other electric pumps on this list. This pump is the most lightweight pump on our best electric air pump guide.

With a smaller and more compact design, the Thurso Surf electric air pump weighs just 2.6 pounds making it the most lightweight electric pump on this list.

Reliable and portable, the Thurso Surf comes with a standard carry bag so you can take it with you wherever you go. This pump can inflate up to 2 boards consecutively and has a nifty little pneumatic reader for keeping track of the pressure.

That said, one of the major disadvantages of this pump is that it only inflates up to 15 PSI unlike the others that can inflate to 20 PSI.

As a maximum inflation 15 PSI should be enough to inflate most paddle boards, including inflatable paddle boards from the Thurso Surf range like the Waterwalker 11 SUP board.

The Seamax SUP20D electric air pump is a great option for when you’re blowing up your paddle board in dusty or sand environments thanks to its integrated sand filter.

A versatile and reliable pump, the Seamax SUP20D boasts a fast inflation speed thanks to a one-way diaphragm valve.

This is a durable and reliable pump featuring an integrated sand filter that protects from dust and sand as well as an outtake chamber that reduces the noise of the pump when it is running.

This pump has a carry handle, like iRocker’s, for added portability and a deflation function to help remove the air from your paddle board before packing it away.

The main issue with this pump is that if it overheats the piston seals can melt. The piston seals are an internal part of the pump and it will not function properly without it. Shouldn’t be a problem when only inflating 1 or 2 SUPs.

Additionally, as this pump doesn’t come with a rechargeable battery, you will need a car or battery pack to power it.
