Wh,wo,$$?? Any body know if they make a taller pump for kites. Us tall guys don't care much for that pump that come with the kite that is 14" tall. How about a 24" tall pump. One that pumps a little faster. Any internet stores that you can recommend. Or even local stores. Let me know. Pics. welcome. Thanks. _________________ See and Do today what you want today, You may not live to tomorrow to do it later. http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1778399&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1 forrest Since 21 Jun 2005 4330 Posts Hood River Hick CGKA Member Mon Apr 06, 09 7:13 pm     Dude, let me know if you figure anything out!

I don't mind haling around a bigger pump. A(little) bigger. I already own a compressor thanks. How about a hand pump. I'm not a midget. I want a bigger and faster pump. 24" tall will do. _________________ See and Do today what you want today, You may not live to tomorrow to do it later. http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1778399&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1 Nic Since 21 Jul 2008 109 Posts Bend, Oregon Stoked Mon Apr 06, 09 7:36 pm     Here you go frenchy, I use these at work and they are the best (inflate boats in 5mins). They are a little pricey http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=1711&deptid=1113 arehn Since 24 Mar 2008 166 Posts Hood River, OR Stoked Mon Apr 06, 09 7:37 pm     what about this auto pump? i dunno if its taller but it looks quicker. but it also looks like it could do some damage to your kite.http://pumpkiteup.com/index.html Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3754 Posts PDX-LA Videographer Mon Apr 06, 09 7:40 pm     LongHall wrote: Here you go frenchy, I use these at work and they are the best (inflate boats in 5mins).

Otto Mann Mon Apr 06, 09 7:43 pm     try to get an ECLIPSE kite pump. There about 18-20" tall, I'm 5'11" and can stand upright while pumping.....super nice there was an article in the Febuary 2009 issue, page 78 about this same situation. The article is about how to make your pump into a "megapump". -Sol Nak Since 19 May 2005 4316 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Mon Apr 06, 09 8:29 pm     About $20 bucks worth of parts turns a 20oz paintball CO2 tank into a kite pump that will pump up your kite in about 30 seconds... Weighs about 3 pounds filled with CO2, & will fill an 11m and a 7m on one charge. Edited to add: That Volo pump looks like it is using ambient air as well as CO2 to fill the kite? If so, very cool system. Moto Since 03 Sep 2006 2698 Posts Still a gojo pimp! Moto Mouth Mon Apr 06, 09 9:16 pm     What about getting a rubber hose for a regular kite pump - those damn plastic ones keep getting wholes in them. Anyone know where to get a rubber hose? _________________ Still rockin gojos, *ssless chaps, and ankle weights!

The Kiteboarder magazine recently had an article on modifying your regular pump. While it uses your existing pump and doesn't pump your kite up any faster, your back will probably benefit the most because it raises the pump so you don't bend over as much. Check out the Fuller Mega Pump in February 2009 PDF online page page 43 or if you have the actual magazine, it's on page 77. Good luck with the pump selection. http://www.theringmedia.com/PDFS/TheKiteboarder/thekiteboarder.february2009.pdf _________________ www.jimstringfellow.com stringer Since 31 Jul 2007 694 Posts Chucktown Flying Tomato Mon Apr 06, 09 11:00 pm     Nak wrote: About $20 bucks worth of parts turns a 20oz paintball CO2 tank into a kite pump that will pump up your kite in about 30 seconds...

Yes, but can it fill up the 11m and 7m and a gojoe??? _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/10069384@N05/sets/ Nak Since 19 May 2005 4316 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Mon Apr 06, 09 11:03 pm     stringer wrote: Yes, but can it fill up the 11m and 7m and a gojoe???

Anyone know where to get a rubber hose? Auto parts store or McMaster Carr NSI and I released a hose kit that featured a 90 degree adapter with a pressure gauge and used a braided hose with machined brass fill a nipple. It was before any kite companies were offering gauges on their pumps. It's not for sale anymore but I still have materials on hand so if you want to stop by I'll make one up for you.    pumpsys.jpg  Last edited by Hein on Tue Apr 07, 09 6:14 am; edited 2 times in total blowhard Since 26 Dec 2005 2027 Posts Windward Tue Apr 07, 09 6:13 am     what yer knees don't bend either        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2, 3, 4  Next Page 1 of 4   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
