The kite pump is often an overlooked part of the kit, but essential to the sport. While accessories like the kite, board, and bar often steal the spotlight, the Core pump has earned its reputation for reliable performance and quality. Now in its third generation, with exciting updates, it’s the one pump you’ll never want to swap for anything else. In the new version the hose mount between the handles has been equipped with a threaded connector. The hose can rotate freely for more flexible inflation and is less likely to kink. The new white pump body is less susceptible to scratch marks from sand and use and thus retains a high-quality look for longer time. All the technical innovations of the previous version have been retained such as the maximum hose diameter for the maximum possible air flow. The extremely low-friction pump run enables smooth and fast inflation. The "sand guard" membrane effectively protects against the penetration of grains of sand into the suction opening. With the included adapter, the Core Pump 3.0 can be combined not only with Core kites, but also with many other valve systems. Features: No Strain Pumping:Save your energy for the water. Innovative materials, seals and piston coatings have virtually created a frictionless pump. Core have even increased the diameter of the hose outlet to increase airflow and reduce pump strain. Sand Guard:Sand belongs on the beach, not in your kite. So Core built a foam air inlet filter into the handle. To prevent sneaky sand from damaging your kite bladders and reducing pump efficiency. Single to Double Stroke Inflations Switch:More pressure with the turn of a knob. The last few pumps are always the hardest with a 2 way pump. Core have decided to give you the option to switch from traditional double stroke to single stroke pumping for the last bit of air. Digitally Calibrated Pressure Gauge:Perfect pressure every time without guessing. The new digitally calibrated pressure gauge has a simple colour coded scale to make precise inflation a breeze. Longer Barrel, Longer Stroke for More Air Volume:Core extended the barrel a few centimetres from the previous model to provide a more upright pumping posture. The additional length also increases pump volume with each stroke. Ergonomic Grips:Our longer, wider ergonomic grips make pumping a breeze. The grips contour to your palm and fingers so you can leverage your body weight without leaving marks. Heavy Duty Pump with a Hook:Pumps are often neglected. So Core built the new Core Pump 3.0 to last. They have even doubled the thickness of the tether and installed an oversized hook.
