If you already own a compressor, you can easily purchase a SUP valve adapter separately and connect the pump to your vehicle to electrically inflate your paddle board with air.
The best way to do this is to manually pre-pump the paddle board to 5 to 10 psi by hand. Using the paddle board valve adapter, the compressor pump takes care of the rest in the more strenuous, higher range pressure situations.
You can also use the valve adapter to let the entire volume into the board. This can take about though, as the motor doesn’t have as much power, so manually pre-pumping by hand up to 10 psi is usually faster.
There are also SUP valve adapters for replacement on hand pumps that can simply be glued into the hose.
Below, we specifically introduce you to four valve adapters that you can (re)buy for your compressor pump.

FAQ
Is it possible to inflate a paddle board with a compressor?
With a valve adapter, the paddle board can be inflated quickly and practically via an electric pump with compressor function or pure compressor pumps.
So here you save the manual inflation, which becomes quite cumbersome especially from 10 psi. Those who have a defective SUP valve adapter on their hand pump can also purchase such adapters separately. Learn more about valve adapters.
How do I attach a valve adapter to the valve?
Attaching the SUP valve adapter is very simple. The valve adapters have swivel connections that allow them to be easily attached into the designated paddle boards valve via a twisting motion. This process is similar to that for using a manual pump or electric pump. Learn more about valve adapters.
Are all paddle board valves the same?
An iSUP valve always has a swivel connection. Therefore, all valve adapters also have swivel fittings. However, not all SUP boards have the same valves, which is why it is worth taking a closer look before buying to see if the valve is suitable for the corresponding paddle board.
However, most valve adapters are suitable for most popular paddle board brands. Learn more about valve adapters.
Conclusion
The paddle board valve adapters presented in this article are very suitable if you already have a compressor pump at home or an electric pump with compressor function.
They are quite usually turned into the valve on the paddle board, connected to the pump, or compressor and operated via the cigarette lighter.
This approach is particularly practical, because manually inflating a paddle board from 10 psi takes a little more power than in the first pumping strokes.
From here, you can have the paddle board quickly and conveniently inflated electrically via the compressor function.
