pUmPDATE (pump update)

The pump was fully tested this weekend at Jetty Island. And.... dat da-da daaaa....it worked GREAT. Yes few people remarked that I am just "plain lazy" but I think they were just jealous ;)

Ok, so here is the deal. Pumping up takes twice as long as with the traditional hand pump. However, while it pumped my kite to 8psi, where it then stopped on its own, I was getting my wetsuit, impact vest, and harness on, and I had time to lay out my lines.

Then I grabbed my kite, hooked the lines, and I was off riding. I easily got on the water before my buddy who started setting up at the same time. In fact, I rode for 10 minutes or more before he got on the water.

Further, I pumped my 13m twice...and I am pretty sure it still has 2-3 pumps of my 13m left on just this one charge.

Not bad for $50!!!!
