Vango Airbeam www . vango . co . uk By Dale Mears If you are inflating an iSUP , you have historically had two options , pump up manually or use an electric sup pump attached to a car . You can now get some battery electric pumps , which are usually quite big , low power or expensive . But you ' ve likely already bought a decent electric pump , right ?

Vango has released a 4000mah power bank capable of pumping up many boards and other items such as inflatable awnings , wings etc . This power bank is a portable size , lightweight and super portable , making it an easy thing to carry on your sup bag this summer .
Features are simple , micro USB charging port , USB output and 12v cigarette socket to plug in your electric pump . The unit has an on / off button and a visual battery indicator . I managed to pump up a single board on one indicator bar and two boards , including deflation on two bars ! Impressive .
For those heading to the beach or not wanting to carry boards inflated from the car or taking boards abroad , this is the perfect sup accessory . I ' ve used the pump twice , and it ' s one of the most game-changing bits of kit I ' ve had . If you ' ve got any Inflatable , this one ' s for you !
