If you are after a taller pump then I suggest you have a look at the "KITE - SUP 3" pump.
I have no affiliation with this mob but their pumps seem to be pretty good - heaps of comments have been posted on SB previously .
Ive just ordered the Kite-Sup 3 pump - not because I have a SUP - but because its taller :-)
The email is current so the 'coupon word' should be good for the 15% discount !!
I had one of their standard kite pumps i got it from matt (in perth) for $40 i think. It was a great pump and as good as any other big brand pump I have used. Unfortunately i left it down the beach one day, i would have bought another one but i now have one that came with another kite I bought. Good pumps and when I next need a pump I will go for another bravo

Thanks Jacob. My original post was genuine.

If my attempt at reading the information is correct, the pump is taller but only delivers half the volume of air per stroke, ie twice as many strokes to get the kite up.
I will be interested in your feedback.

I have one and did a review. It's the same volume (around 2 litres), but ends up quicker because it's easier to pump (less resistance). It reminds me of when I changed from the small ball/valve inflation nozzle to the large ozone cabrinha style valve. You never want to go back.

Hi Guys and Girls -Matt from Bravo Pumps Australia .. Im new to kite , Sup and seabreeze..
Ive come from the inflatable boat industry and I saw the opportunity to do it better than everyone else so thats how Bravo Pumps Australia was born..The Kite Sup 3 is a great pump .Predominantly used for SUP BOARDS (pump up to 27 psi )- I just remodeled a little -added a hose + fittings- def pumps up way easier than all our other pumps and is taller.
Great for inflatable boats as well as SUPS>. Ill be getting adding a leash for the Kite SUp 3 moving forward as I did forget to add when I ordered- my apologies..Bravo (Italy) supply 7 out 10 of the world's leading brands of kite and SUP manufacturers
+ Inflatable boats .. FACT
North - Cabrinha-IOn-Starboard-Redpaddle-Fanatic -Naish in some areas + many others..
Scoprega(bravo) have been the market leaders in this field for 43 years - Fact . People can now buy with confidence as the product is backed up locally by Bravo Pumps Aust in Australia -
NOTE - We only back up bravo products sold by us through our online store & resellers etc ..If it doesnt have a bravo sticker on it from June 2015 its not ours ..
If you find a cheaper price out there in the market - ask them to provide their warranty procedure's ( not copied from my site) and a contact email for who they are dealing with in Italy and the most important thing is do they know there products ?? Most dont have a clue how they work and whats best suited ..
WE CARE and KNOW OUR PRODUCTS>>>When it comes to electric pumps - There is no comparison for quality -
We do it BEST.
You might pay a little bit more but that how things work in this World - you pay for quality and backup service !!
We are the only Australian BRAVO DISTRIBUTER to be given the rights to use their logo and there name here in Australia .. Why is this ?? We made a commitment to (Scoprega bravo) to clean up how they did things here in Australia - Thats what we done and will continue too..
Bravo -Aust is less than 3 % of their market .. We forget we only have 22 million people
I look forward to what's ahead
THX

GREAT PUMPS >>>>>
Who you're talking to?
only kidding.
that's great to hear from the horses mouths.
Can I ask why a kite pump with the same circumference but taller like the SUP pumps have not been done yet? It would pump a kite in half the time.
Bravo make the highest quality pumps. Ie. Pumps that are any good are made by bravo eg. North and other leading brands. Cheap pumps can be had from camp shop for cheaper but the standard best quality 'leisure' purpose pumps basically all come from the same (bravo)factory and are rebranded.
For the price i think they are ok.
Ive had mine for about 2 years now and it holds good pressure and is a good design.
Although in saying the plastic housing that holds the rubber seals has some how cracked and does not screw on properly anymore thus resulting in it coming off during a pump.
My Slingshot pump i've had for 2 years and still going strong.
Hi Matt thanks for taking time to contribute to this forum I am sure you are very busy, you are probably really under the pump
That is good info you have given but it does sound a bit like high pressure
sales
How do we know your claims are airtight
and not overinflated
All the best mate I'm sure your business is really gonna blow up
I received the longer thinner bravo pump last week and have put all my stumpies in the corner.
No bending over, only needed one hand to pump it, best pressure I have been able to get.

Same price as in kite shops +$18 shipping flat rate, no thanks. Better buy it off the local kite shop.....
We use the electric pumps for our inflatable SUP's and kites. They are a life saver and withstand all the abuse our groms throw at them. Pumping up 15-20 kites + sups at every demo day along our national tour.
hey
Tried one of bravos taller new pumps a couple of times now,was expensive,someone said there was a discount which i didn't get.
Not sure if it worth the extra money.
wouldn't say its quicker but when pressure builds up is really easy to over pump if u forgot which pump
u were using would be easy to blow a bladder,there is a gauge which is hard to read.
If one of your mats borrows it of the beach thats what will happen if they don't use the gauge as u can't feel
much pressure resistance at 6-7psi
Hey Matt,first got the Kite Sup 3 used a few times but became harder to pump then noticed small black piece of O- ring protruding out where shaft moves in and out.
Disassembled found broken O -ring and replaced.
Does this happen at times?
Pump is new.
IMO much easier to use even one handed.
Better for taller people.
