Pump and Go
In the realm of wing foiling, efficient gear setup is paramount. The AIRBANK Puffer Pro eliminates the need for manual inflation, providing a seamless setup experience.
Sure, you can use a hand pump, but they are bulky to carry around and are not always particularly precise. Some claim that a hand pump provides them with a good warm-up before they hit the water. Well, I am an avid wing foiler, and I would rather get out the water faster and warm up out there.
When I go wing foiling, I simply plug my AIRBANK Puffer Pro into my wing, set the desired press and press go. I then put on my wetsuit, helmet etc while the Puffer Pro pumps up my wing. There is no need to worry about over pumping. The Puffer Pro shuts off as soon as it reaches the required pressure. When I hear the pump stop I pop it in the car and head out on the water.
Some days the wind can vary, and on these days the Puffer Pro excels. I simply come in and pull out a different wing size, plug in the Puffer Pro, then pack up the wing I was using while the other wing pumps up. Before I know it, I am back out on the water with little or no effort on my part.
As further support as to why you should consider an AIRBANK Puffer Pro, I have identified several advantages over a hand pump. Firstly, today’s wings require more and more pressure to ensure their strut is stiff and responsive. You can either simply change the setting on the digital display of AIRBANK Puffer Pro and press go or spend more time pumping with your hand pump. I know which one I would choose.
Secondly, wings are very sensitive to the amount of air they need. If you don’t put enough air in, wings become unresponsive and are hard to pump to get up on the foil. Conversely, if you put too much air in, you risk popping the wing bladder and replacing these is not easy or cheap. You will also end up paddling back in on your board, and who knows how far out on the water you are. The repair time can also be an issue, forcing you to take time off the water. Most of us are mad wing foiling addicts and can take even a day away from wing foiling.
So grab yourself an AIRBANK Puffer Pro. This compact, precise, efficient little pump is perfect for wing foiling.
