She had bought a high end SUP this year and choose a inflatable because it is easy to store. What she did not realize it the extreme effort required to inflate it. Inflating at home and carrying on the car is a pain, likely not good for the board because she has to put it flat on her car. Manually pumping it up at the beach left her exhausted. She decided to buy one electric sup air pump. Within 1 minute the board looked inflated (actually only at 5lbs). It took about 5 minutes before it hit full inflate. We were in the house and could hear it run, noticed when it shut off, but it was not horribly loud. The unit is small and weighs less than 5lbs. It can only be plugged into the car.
