how hard is this to pump up

I do not pump this up.I inflate this using my own lung power and do not find it difficult at all.

I just blow into it. takes a few minutes but it's very worth it. it is not the standard rubber mouth piece and stopper. it's screw valve.

I would recommend the use of a battery powered mattress pump if possible. I use the Coleman 4-D battery model or if you are looking to go light try the Nemo Disco Pad Pump. Keep in mind you should use it only with a Nemo pad though like the Nemo Astro Air Pillowtop. The Nemo pads are really nice! Since I have both I would recommend the Nemo if you are not looking for the oversize pad.

design of this product is comfort and reduced weight. A mattress pump would not be appropriate for carrying up large type mountains unless you are willing to forego food, stove, or some other essential item . For me this is a blow-up product. Not difficult.

For me I just use a little battery operated pump , air it up till it feels moderately tight then go for it. Just a word of advice....be mindful that on a hot day they will get too tight and you should beach land it a relieve a little pressure. on a cold day I had it all pumped up, threw it on the trailer and headed to the lake, when I got there it was deflated considerably due to the cold. I pumped it up and away it goes. Its a awesome rig. Get U 1, FISH ON!

Not hard! I am 5'6 and 130 pounds with not much arm muscle. I use the hand pump and It takes less than five minutes. I don't think you will have issues

Actually it takes 2 hands for me to do it, but is very easy to do while laying on your back. I guess if you really needed to you could possibly pump it against the floor or your body but would not be as convenient as using both hands. It is just like a bicycle or tire pump but pumps pretty easily. Hope this helps. I love mine!!!

They don't provide a valve and it would make it much easier if you could just pump it up. Blowing it up took so long that i eventually quit and tossed the wedge out when I got home. You would need a bicycle floor pump and a half hour to pump it up. Getting it flat after it is inflated is a challenge also.

Not a foot pump, gotta use your hands...maybe 6 or min to get it pumped up.

I purchased an inexpensive pump that you plug in. Otherwise.....you will probably pass out trying to blow it up yourself!

It is simple. Just unscrew pump handle while pushing down on it. Then fill with liquid being careful not to fill above the mark for maximum fill. Good luck.

I just started pumping - push down on the top. It takes 5-8 pumps to start working, but it'll go eventually.

Its not difficult at all, it takes about a five minutes to blow it up as you breath into the nozzle on one end of the plastic. It works quite well.Leonard

There is a good amount of pumping required to inflate. I'm not sure if its something I would want to do everyday.

I believe it's 11psi. I agree with the other users- it takes between 5-10 min for us to pump up 2 of ours. It does get harder to pump towards the end. We're very pleased with our boards.

I have been spinning it back and forth for the last 15 minutes and so far I can't get the pump up

Have used it to inflate t0 80psi but difficult to use at that pressure, maybe that Im a weakling

Sorry, can't help you with this. The simple solution may be to just not pump as much.

That's a tough one. Seems I have to actually start using slight force at about 30 PSI. My tires need 50, so from 30 to 50 it gets a bit tiring. Still not hard, just a lot of pumping. Also seems the faster I pump the better it works. Slow and steady doesn't seem to move the gauge.

The last few (12-15) psi are difficult to pump by hand. I am 5'9 170lbs and have to use all my weight. I will say once it's pumped up, it is a GREAT board!! Very satisfied!
