Stiffer boards create a better ride. One of the major contributing factors to board rigidity is the pressure inside the board. Red Paddle Co founder John Hibbard explains more, “We’ve pumped up a lot boards since 2008 and we’ve come a long way since we started! The current crop of high pressure style pumps came from our close partnership with the leading pump manufacturer. They work ok for small, low volume boards but we wanted to upgrade and produce a pump that addressed the major issues of the inflation process – time taken and effort required. “Using a Titan Pump can half the inflation time and, unlike the dual action style of pumps used by many brands, it drastically reduces the amount of effort required to reach the correct pressure. We prefer to spend our time paddling rather than pumping so for us the Titan is a game changer. We can’t wait to share it with everyone. “We always want to offer a hand pumping solution. While electric pumps can be used in some circumstances they are expensive and most can't reach a high enough pressure to give the best paddling performance. You also need a power or recharge source. Not so with the Titan Pump.Take it anywhere!” The Red Paddle Co Titan pump offers turbo like performance with a maximum power output of 62mph! More than double the air speed of standard pumps.
