Is this the ultimate big SUP pump?... The GRI HP5

SUPboarder takes a look at the big iSUP pump on the market, the GRI HP5 triple action hand pump. GRI are already inflating many boards around the world with their current high pressure pump. But this new GRI is set to take on the big inflators like the Red Paddle Co Titan. We put it through our 2017 pump challenge to see which pump comes out on top.

Red Titan will provide you better physical conditions though

[@robertconners9441]

Does it have a deflate option?

[@burbusbond]

Good video folks. Do you know if the itiwit double chamber pump is a rebranded GRI? 👍

[@SUPboardermag]

Hey David. I haven't heard if it is or not. But it was exactly the same pump in shape and design. I would say yes, which is a good thing. Thanks Reuben

This pump is sold at various shop Under different names. I found a cheap one at decathlon!

[@haroldslit8525]

Mathijs Gaalman I have one from Decathlon and IT works great. Not CheapTickets Costa almost 90 euro's.

I have a 2017 Red paddle titan and after 5 times pumping the SUP, the pump didnt work properly, PSI meter stopped working, and the pump has a strange felling when pumping.

Hi Sky works, That doesn't sound good. If you're a SUPboarder Pro member we do a Pump maintenance session that may help. www.supboardermag.com/2017/08/23/sup-pumps-tips-maintenance-videos/ . Otherwise get in contact with Red Paddle Co.

[@skyworks1621]

Thanks Rouben

Hi Skyworks and Aaron,
All pumps work on a non return valve system and it is possible for these to fail - regardless of make. The great thing about the Titan is that we designed it so all parts are accessible and better than that they are replaceable. It sounds like a non return valve has blown in your pump.
Just drop us an email at [e-mail] with your addresses and we can supply you with new parts free of charge.
We're sorry that you have had an issue. We are happy to provide full support with our dedicated and passionate team. You just need to tell us about your issues and we will react immediately.
Thanks for your support.
Regards
Team Red.

For all their advantages, pumps of the Titan type have a big minus. This is the weight and dimensions of the pump compared to other cylinder pumps. This is especially noticeable when you go to the starting point with your feet and carry everything on yourself, or when you can not leave the pump on the shore and it takes up a lot of space.

[@SUPboardermag]

Yes Alexsey this is a really big point. The new Titan pump is much more refined now.

[@Aleks_iz_Gadykino]

Yes, it has become a little more compact. But the weight still hasn't gone away. I think the ideal pump would be a pump with a single large-diameter chamber.

[@crazyilgas]

difference is so small between those 2 pumps, Red Titan is amazing pump with top class customer service and it is very good size,. seriously guys - you promoting pump that does job quicker by 20 seconds ????? i see no reasons to move from Red for now at least.

[@SUPboardermag]

Good comment and you're right, Red are a great top quality brand. But the good thing about the GRI is that its available with many other board brands now. So many paddlers now have the option of having a pump that is as good as the Red with other board packages. Both are great pumps and if it means we can all get on the water faster, then that's great.
