Cheap Double Action Pump
Barnes and I came across this, great cheap alternative to a kiteboarding pump, and readily available to those without a kiteshop :D

Well, I take full credit, you just posted the link.
Buy anyways, it is a kiteboarding pump..most of the kiteboarding companies buy this same pump, and screen on its logo on the blank side. Most will
have the same 'Double Action Pump' speal on one side, and the logo on the other...unless they went all out and painted it before printing their logo!

I bought a cheap double action pump from Canadian tire. NOT the identical one shown. It took me a while to realize that the reason my kite was alway
jelly was because the pump just didn't have enough pressure. I went to my Naish pump and the problem was solved.

Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

Original pump vs. Dicks Sporting Goods pump.
No issues, inflated well. Just had to put the pressure gauge from the old pump on the new one, and I replaced the hose and nozzle, worked perfectly.
Original
New (Minus the gauge, and tether which I have added now.)
