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.

Buy a smaller electric Black and Decker 30 dollar pump, where you can set the pressure. Turn it on, and let it go. It takes a long time ...at least 30 minutes. The hand pumps take forever.

Yes, although it doesn't move a whole lot of air on the pumping, you could pump tires up with it. It just might take a while though but it's really compact. I recommend getting the CO2 cartridge kits. They're really compact and much faster.

We used a pump. I would NOT recommend trying to blow it up by mouth as it would take forever. Not sure what kind of pump though, but I am guessing most would work.

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

You don't need a pump for this, but it would make it easier to blow up. It has a standard blow-up valve on it, so whatever pump nozzle has a fitting that would work. I used lung power to blow this up, and it took about 10 minutes.

I'm not sure how you are supposed to pump it up. I happened to have something like "Classic Accessories Inflatable Boat/Tube Hand Pump" (if you search on Amazon) from something I had before. Definitely wouldn't want to to try to blow up with my mouth. Best of luck.

The gun is cocked simply by pulling the bolt back in order to load the pellet. Pumping it up however, is another question and probably what you're really wanting to know. If you are too young to be shooting it, you will find it too difficult to pump. Most teens and adults should be able to pump it after a little practice.

Just lift the pump out and pour it from the top. A small funnel might help.

Most of your time will be spent getting it level and checking it while it fills. I seem to recall within a couple hours maximum of putting it up and starting the hose at full blast, my kids were swimming in it each time. Sorry I couldn't be more exact.

You have to pump it until it get hard to pump. Make sure that you do not have the oil going up the tube. Have it on a flat surface and pump it until it get hard and make sure that you do not over fill it either or it will not pump. There is a line that tells you how much oil to put in. Hope this helps you.

Glad I'm not the only one that struggled with this!! It's WAY too hard to do and my pump broke while I tried it. I finally gave up and am just taking the top off and pouring it in my hand.

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

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!!!

I couldn't imagine blowing this up via your lung power. We use a small electric pump and it's done in less than 5 minutes.

It took me 180 pumps to get it to the 10-11 PSI as instructed. The needle didnt start moving until around 130 or so pumps when it became harder to pump. the first 100 pumps i did sitting down with one hand ( 8 min total to pump)

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!
