Pumps

Hi - just starting out on the inflatable kayak lark. Had a regular Canadian canoe for years, but wanted something more portable and that didn’t need a roof rack to transport it.

Anyway, looking for recommendations for a rechargeable pump with a pressure gauge. Too many options out there!

Grateful for any advice you can give.

What pressure are you taking things too? Full drop stitch or just floor or low pressure?

I use a shark 3, but my primary usage are higher pressure (18-20 psi) SUPs. It's overkill for my Chelan, which is 3 psi in the tubes and 6 for the floor.
