The best electric pump: Ride Engine Air Box for Kites, Wings and inflatable boards

Air Box: Tested and Approved by the B3 Proshop Team

At B3 Proshop, we test all the equipment we recommend. We believe that we can only offer you the best if we first put it to the test under the same conditions you’ll use each product. This time, we took the Air Box electric pump, the electric pump that everyone is talking about, to an intense session to see if it lives up to the expectations.

The result: the electric pump completely convinced us. If inflating kites, wings, or inflatable boards used to be a tedious task, with the Air Box, it has become a quick, simple, and efficient step.

The B3 Team’s Experience with the Air Box

We arrived at the spot eager and excited. It was a day with incredible conditions, and we all wanted to get in the water as soon as possible. Since it was a test day, we brought a bit of everything: kites, wing foils, and a couple of inflatable paddle boards.

Normally, inflating all this equipment would take a lot of time and effort. But this time, with the Air Box electric pump in hand, we decided to put it to the test. The result was a complete game changer in our routine.

What Impressed Us About the Air Box Electric Pump

1. Time and Effort Savings: While some of us were preparing lines and bridles, others connected the Air Box to the valves of the kites and wings. In just a few minutes, all the equipment was inflated to the exact pressure. Not a drop of sweat, not a second of wasted energy.

2. Precise and Safe Inflation: The Air Box allows you to set the exact pressure on its digital display. Once it reaches the configured pressure, it automatically stops, which we greatly appreciated as it ensures everything is in optimal condition without the risk of over-inflation.

3. Versatility: The Air Box perfectly inflated: kites of 7m, 10m, and 12m, wings of 4m and 6m, and an inflatable paddle board that needed to reach 20 PSI. Switching between equipment was simple, thanks to the multiple included nozzles.

4. Compact and Easy to Carry: With its compact and lightweight design, we stored it in the same backpack we used to carry part of the gear. It barely takes up space and is perfect for bringing to any spot.

5. Rechargeable Battery: We used it with its built-in battery, which lasted through the entire session without any problems. We also tested connecting it to the car's cigarette lighter, a practical option if you need to inflate more equipment on the same day.

Why the Air Box Changed Our Routine

As a team, we’re used to testing high-quality equipment, but the Air Box truly made a difference. In a typical session, inflating multiple pieces of gear can take 15–20 minutes of physical effort. With the Air Box, we not only reduced that time by half but also got to the water with more energy and no stress.

Moreover, its ease of use makes it perfect for both beginners and advanced riders. You no longer need experience with an electric pump to get the most out of it.
