- Another step in my search to find the method of inflation that best suits me
I got myself a Ryobi inflator which has a high volume low pressure connection for airbeds etc on one end and a low volume high pressure car tyre inflator on the other end
Well the good news is it took me absolutely zero physical effort in terms of pumping
The bad news is it took half an hour and that was casually ignoring the operating time recommendations in the manual.
Is my search over? Maybe not quite although between this and the Michelin tyre inflator I reckon I could get on the water in about 20 minutes so it’ll do for the moment
For reference I’m inflating a RedPaddleCo 11’ 3” Sport which is 258 litres volume (according Red’s site) and I’m inflating to 20psi
Separate review coming on the Ryobi as a tyre and airbed inflator
I have seen "proper" SUP inflators on youtube so I'll look to getting one when I can afford it and do a review

Ty for taking your time to do this. It has been a huge help in the decision process.
Thanks, that’s all I’m trying to achieve so your comment is very welcome 😊
I just bought that ryobi for my paddle board. Glad I saw your video because I'll be returning it today. Thanks
Glad it helped
I use the ryobi also. I got a valve adapter for the low pressure side. I connect to the low pressure hose with a short piece of automotive heater hose. No holding required. And when you can let the valve operate, you don't loose any air removing the hose. Which makes the high pressure go quicker.
Thanks Mike, what do you use it on? As in what do you inflate with it? Paddleboard or something else?
@@oldmanwith IK
Thanks. I was just about to buy, but... you saved me a $100 and some lakeside disappointment. Thanks.
Glad it was useful Matthew, thanks
This video exactly answers my question on buying portable ryobi inflator for sup. Thanks!
Thanks Peter, glad it helped. I think Outdoormaster do a battery SUP pump now but I’ve no info about it I’m afraid.
Really useful! So glad I saw this, thanks
Thanks Albert, if you’re looking for a “proper” paddle board pump I’m told the latest Shark is better than the one I have, I think they also do a battery one as well.
Good video thanks. was looking at getting one of these but that's far to slow. I have been using a cheap 12v airbed inflator to do the low pressure part and a Viair 85p 12v compressor to get up to full pressure (usually 20psi) the Viar is rated at 1.26 cfm @ 60 psi. It has been in use for 2 years now, pumping up 2 12'6" touring boards in a row without any issues. A battery powered solution for when away from the car would be ideal but I guess this isn't it. I need to find a waterproof battery pack that can supply the 15 amps to run the Viair.
wrong info in that, its rated at 1.26cfm at no pressure and 60 psi max working pressure. It is 1.22CFM @ 1 bar
Thanks for your comment, yes I absolutely agree. The biggest problem is the recommended run time. Ryobi do an actual compressor as well but again the run time looks like an issue.I was quite disappointed about it but it led me to the OutdoorMaster Shark in the 5th video. The Viair looks interesting (and cheaper), how long total do you think it takes you to fully inflate a board?
@@oldmanwith I just got out and tested this today. It took 12:26 to get the board up to an indicated 20psi on the viair gauge. the board was a 12'6" jobe, quoted at 320L capacity. I did check the pressure with a gauge I trust more and it was a few PSI short so I estimate a couple more mins needed to get up to an actual 20 psi.
@@UltimateFifthScale Now you have me partially regretting the spend on the OutdoorMaster Shark 😂😂😂 In fairness I’m very happy with it but given what you’ve said, if I was still in the market I’d give your method a go
I just got this inflator and it works for what I need on my kayak since it is the low pressure bit that I find tiring when pumping by hand. What I do is use the hose from my hand pump to lock into the valve and then hold the the Ryobi's tube to that. I'm looking for an adapter to simplify things slightly. I also liked using the deflation. Made it easier to pack than deflating by sitting on it.
Good to hear Ed, what valve does your kayak have? Or which model kayak?
@@oldmanwith It's a SeaEagle Explorer. I thought they were H-R valves but they don't advertise them that way so maybe they are clones of some sort.
Hi Ed, sorry for the delayed reply, I’ve been away. I noticed that on my Ryobi inflator, the bayonet connection is exactly the same as the bayonet on the original Dolphin hose. That makes me think it’s a “standard” (ish) connector. Snag is that Outdoormaster have now changed the Dolphin hose from Bayonet to screw fit. If you could get them to part with a hose to suit an original Dolphin pump it would possibly do what you need. Outside of that, I noticed that the Ryobi hose and all my paddleboard pump hoses seem to be the same diameter so you might be able to get a spare hose, cut the Ryobi hose and fit a joiner of some kind. It’s a bit terminal in terms of swapping it back to Ryobi standard I guess but it might give some ideas for you to work with. Good luck
i have the same setup, took me 7 mins to fully inflate. I used the hand pump for the final inflation stage. I inflated to 12psi
I think that’s the key to it Cameran, it depends on what ones “fully inflated” pressure is. According to Red Paddle for mine it’s 20 psi. The higher the pressure the longer it will take to reach it and the higher the pressure the slower it builds. If you’re happy with it for the service it gives you, great 👍🏻
@@oldmanwith is it necessarry to use the top psi value? 12 for me seems to work. I dont use 15 psi because of the work needed.
To be honest I have no idea, I’d say if 12 works for you go for it. I guess the higher psi makes the board stiffer but I don’t know how much difference that makes
I have this inflator and only takes me 5 minutes to inflate my kayak to 10 psi. I think the issue you're having is you're losing too much air pressure on the high volume side because you don't have the proper adapter. The first few PSI takes the longest so you can cut a ton of time if you can pump it more on the high volume side. You can actually buy an adapter or 3d print an adapter for the high volume side which will fit properly and give you as much pressure as possible before you switch to the high pressure side. Also I think this pump has a Duty cycle of 5 minutes (not sure exact time) so you're wearing it out early if you leave it running for longer.
Very happy that it works for you in your application but a couple of responses: Yes it does have a duty cycle of 5 minutes, i make this very clear at the opening of the video. In the situation I was in (cold wet English day) I wasn’t unduly worried about compressor wear - compressors and pneumatics are part of my business so I understand the risks but I absolutely would not recommend anybody else do what i did.
I can tell you that despite not having an adaptor there were no leaks. The reason you can inflate your kayak quicker is that it runs at half the pressure of my paddleboard so on the fan end of the inflator you’ll get far nearer to full volume on your kayak than I’ll get on my paddleboard. You then hit maximum fan pressure and you have to swap to the inflator end but at that point percentage wise you’re way nearer full inflation than me.
There’s also the question of total inflated volume so again, if your kayak has a lower total volume you’ll get there quicker than I will with my board. I was probably at 10psi after about 10 minutes but if you plotted a pressure against time curve you would see it gets flatter and flatter as time passes and pressure increases and the last 5 psi of increase probably takes over half the total time. I do now have the adaptor because I got one with my Shark pump. The Shark pump does exactly what I want because the volume at high pressure is far greater than that of the Ryobi. Thanks for your detailed comment though.
@@oldmanwith First off just want to make it clear that I think your video's great and I'm not trying to take away from it. It's great to know about the time for the upper end of the pumping. Just trying to say it may be a good option for people depending on the psi they're trying to achieve.
Yup, fully get that Emery and glad for the feedback, it’s all good for the viewers 👍🏻
Sorry misspelled your name Emmery, apologies
@@EmmeryCheung I have this inflator that I keep in my car for my tires. Haven't gone out paddleboarding yet this summer as it is still cold here.
How long would it say it takes you to fully pump and ready a SUP with this inflator?
I have exact same pump setup as you. After i fill low pressure volume, i then attach high pressure adapter. Now my ryobi will not engage. I set the high pressure to 15 psi and turn on but nothing happens, not sure why.
Hi, I’m not sure I’m afraid. I don’t know if there are separate fuses inside for the two different inflation parts. I would guess there might be but I’ve never had to take mine apart, sorry
@@oldmanwith I had the same experience.
Moved on to HARBOR FREIGHT/BAUER brand similar appliance, but 20v lithium ion 5ah battery power, can do the job: use high volume side to 6.5 psi, then 8 min. on high pressure side, you're good @11-12 psi.
@johnhall7475 Hi John, thanks that’s interesting. Looking at the specs on the home depot website it would give a theoretical inflation to 20 psi in something between 20 - 24 minutes which again is better than the Ryobi. I can get away with about 15 psi in my board but anything under that feels kinda spongy. I get by fine with the Outdoormaster corded pumps and I can’t see the Bauer available in the UK anywhere but if I track one down I might give it a try 👍
I am wondering if the high volume low pressure connection would work for a low 3 psi inflatable kayak ?
Hi, thanks for the question. In honesty I don’t know. I tried to find out the exact spec of the HVLP side from the UK distributor but they didn’t know. I’m wondering if I can connect it to my manual paddleboard pump and see what the gauge registers. If I can get it to work I’ll come back and let you know.
@@oldmanwith thanks
Hi, I uploaded a video where I tried to check the output, result was pretty inconclusive. Just after I uploaded I figured a way to check it more accurately but I won’t get chance to film the method until tomorrow. Bad news is that it seems the actual pressure it peaks at is about 0.32 PSI so nowhere near what you need.
@@oldmanwith thanks for the information. Good to know
Hi @zhrob na here's the definitive answer th-cam.com/video/f83R-x9WvIQ/w-d-xo.html
Why not make the high pressure side put a Paddleboard attachment on
Hi, if you mean the adaptor for a Schrader tyre valve to convert to a paddleboard bayonet connector it’s in the video at around 3:45 when I change from the low pressure side of the inflator to the high pressure side
I do!
Full inflation of ???? How many liters (volume), pressure?
Just added the detail to the description in this and all my other paddleboard inflation videos
280-300 liters,12 psi
Have you found an inflator that actually works efficiently?
Here you go, this is what I use th-cam.com/video/NZdFlsv-0Xw/w-d-xo.html
Holy crap 33 minutes. Do yourself a favour and get a paddle board specific pump. Mine takes 11 minutes to pump a Red Paddle voyager that is about 350 litres in volume compared to your 250 litre board. I can’t legislate for the extra time faffing about though.
And I see you got the Outdoor Master Shark already.
boars and pump both a waste of time
Thanks for your comment Wayne, obviously you're entitled to your opinion but I'm curious as to why
