Adapter for SUP pumps and accessories: everything you need to know
Purchasing an SUP is always a very important and delicate act, given that it involves a careful analysis of your personal needs, as well as an evaluation of the frequency with which you expect to use it: if you are either a Stand Up Paddle enthusiast or, equally, are just getting started with this amazing sporting activity and you are about to buy your first board, it is important that you know which SUP pump adapter and which accessories cannot be missed.
SUP PUMP ADAPTER AND ACCESSORIES: INFLATION VALVES
Speaking of adapters and accessories, one of the devices that should never be missing from an enthusiast's bag are spare inflation valves, which are essential for quickly and safely inflating and deflating your board.
These elements are normally very resistant and difficult to break. However, the unexpected is always around the corner, so it is always better to be foresighted!
SUP PUMP ADAPTER AND ACCESSORIES: OVERPRESSURE VALVES
The same goes for overpressure valves. These are essential for controlling and limiting the inflation pressure which, if excessive, could alter the process or even cause damage to the board.
It is therefore a good idea always to have some spare parts to replace as soon as the first malfunctions begin to appear, to avoid the risk of a small problem turning into serious damage.
SUP PUMP: THE IMPORTANCE OF MANOMETERS
When it comes to inflation, the pressure gauge is certainly one of the most important elements, because it gives us an instant perception of how the inflation of our board is progressing and the precise indication of the pressure value (which must never exceed the maximum one indicated by the manufacturer).
For this reason, even if it is standard in some inflator models and not all, the pressure gauge is one of those optional extras that we always recommend purchasing if possible, especially if you are new to the world of SUP and inflators.
SUP ACCESSORIES: THE RIGHT FINS
Fins are among the most important accessories guaranteeing the correct functioning of boards, because they are able to determine the direction of navigation.
Choosing the correct fin is not a trivial matter and requires taking into consideration various factors: single fins, for example, are ideal for classic navigation, while double ones offer superior speed, but are recommended for those who are a little more experienced in navigation, as they can cause some additional difficulty in keeping the board stable.
SUP PUMP AND ACCESSORIES: THE LIFE JACKET
The life jacket is certainly a very important device to carry with you during the activity, especially if you are a beginner.
The smooth surface and the special shape allow it to be used in a very simple and dynamic way, while the rope firmly fixed to the body allows for maximum safety during its use and that of the board.
SUP ACCESSORIES: THE LEASH
The leash is very important for safety, once you are standing on the board. It is that element ion the surface of the Stand Up Paddle into which the cable is inserted which allows you to tie your ankle to the board itself.
There are different shapes, sizes and capacities, so even in this case it is useful to perform a careful analysis before choosing the one that suits you!
