Starboard Tiki Pump Vs Red Paddle Co Titan 2 Pump

We test each pump by inflating a Red Paddle Co 10'6" x 32" x 4.75" Ride all round SUP to 18 PSI. Fore more details, check out: greenwatersports.com/57654/re...
In this head-to-head test, we put the Red Paddle Co Titan 2 Pump up against the Starboard Tiki Pump. As two of the top players in the inflatable paddle board world, Starboard and Red Paddle Co have not only developed and built their boards to the highest of quality, they have also developed and designed excellent pumps as part of the iSUP package. The differences between the boards are well covered, but the pumps less so. We hope this helps answer the common question we get about which brand to choose, as with inflatable paddle boards, there is so much more than just the board that goes into the package.
We compared the two pumps on various factors:
- Size and weight - this comes down to how easily portable is the pump?
- Ease of setup - how long does it take to set up and start pumping?
- Ease of use - is it comfortable to use and is the dial easy to read?
- Efficiency - does pumping require a lot of effort?

I wish Starboard would have included or allowed an upgrade to the Tiki with my 11'2" Zen SC as their entry level pump is not good. It's the hardest one to pump that I've had.
BUT I have a tip. Get one of the battery powered air mattress pumps on Amazon (I like the pistol shaped one) and use it to get the first stage done. It saves time and strokes. They cost $20 and also deflate very easiliy. The high volume blower they use is much quieter (not to mention much cheaper) than the annoying second stage of the electric pumps sold for ISUPS. So, first stage, forget the dual action and use the blower. Second stage is manual pump. Deflate with the powered one. Works for us !

I counted that the titan II needed 234 strokes to fill, 6 psi after 103 strokes and the starboard tiki needed 280 strokes, 6 psi after 129 strokes. Still starboard tiki is faster, which means this pump pumps much lighter.
