Yeah mate they are good and come with a handbag.

Hopefully also come with some full stops for your sake.

You're the one looking for some assistance.
It pays to put the questions in a format that makes it easy for someone to read, hence feeling inclined to provide you with some information. It take no extra time to throw in a full stop and to capitalise the next letter from time to time.

And people love taking the mickey out of others, so you left yourself wide open.....

I got an recharchable electric pump for my misses 7m airush?.....Only because I refuse to rig / de-rig and inflate / deflate her kite any more. I mean, she has to learn and do it for herself someday?? She demanded the auto pump, they it took so long to pump up her 7m that I can set up and pump up and be on the water, whilst she is still waiting for enough compression. Hate to think how long it would take to fill my 12m or worse a 15-17m.

If you are that f****** lazy, just try and park your car near a servo and use the compressor there.

Or you could just toughen the f*** up a bit !!

I got the BRAVO

I had to replace the battery from the supplied 7amp to a 20 amp as most battery chargers are 12 or over, & 7 amp one cooked and blew out ( bubbled and cracked)

So don't loose the power point charger that comes with it,

On the plus size I don't have to charge the thing for a least 10 kites and I very rarely fly anything under a 12. And the extra weight of the bigger battery hold the kite down better for when your frothing beard is to long to wait for kite to pump up before wetty and sunscreen are applied, multi taskers best friend.

Had it for over a year still works perfectly,,,touch wood

for those haters that think you have to pump your kite up by hand to be a man, I say whatever I am out there in the same amount of time but in contrast I have had the time to conduct a proper warm up and stretch and your back and legs are already down 2% meaning I can stay out longer, I dont think it really saves any time you have to work out your own system enjoy

For the electric pump haters out there why use a pump at all, surly to be hard core and at the cutting edge you should use your lungs. using a pump is so lazy

who cares what the people that eat cement think....
I say if it makes life easier go for it. I would GLADLY use a pump and laugh out loud to those who don't have one.

Tell you what latte drinkers.... I'll pump up your kite for you. Free if your girlfriend winks at me, or $10 a kite! Save hundreds.

Yeah I've got a rechargeable kite pump. I usually charge up with an up&go. Occasionally I forget the pump and just use my lungs. Thinking of a different technique I may try next time that involves baked beans.
