Eight SUP pump hoses compared on valve fit, hose material and which pumps and adapters they work with.
Every hose in this list is in stock on Amazon right now, and every figure below comes from the manufacturer. A hose is the cheapest part of an electric pump setup and the part that fails first, so the only question that matters is whether the connector on the end matches the port on your pump.
SUP pump hose kits: the eight picks at a glance
What separates one sup pump hose from the next is the pump connector, the nozzle set that ships with it and the length. Almost all of these are screw-in threaded connectors sized for the common electric pumps, so measure the old fitting before you order rather than trusting a brand name. If your sup hose is leaking air, the usual cause is a missing or flattened O-ring at the nozzle, which is why two kits here ship with spare rings in three thicknesses.
Note that most of these are electric pump parts. A hose replacement for a hand pump such as the FlexTail style pumps needs a different fitting, and only one kit in this list states hand pump compatibility. Below you get three picks for the common cases, then the full table, then each hose in detail.

The eight SUP pump hoses in detail
- Hose length3.6 ft (110 cm)
- Nozzles7
- Pump connectorthreaded hermetic screw-in
- Named pumpsOutdoorMaster Shark, Vortex, Dolphin, Cachalot, Orca
- Also listed forPolotrag, Tuomico, SereneLife
- Handlingrotate to remove or install adapters
Best for: Anyone replacing a hose without a model number to go on
This is the kit to buy when the old hose is already in the trash and you cannot read the model number off it anymore. OutdoorMaster lists compatibility by name instead of claiming to fit everything, and the list covers five of its own pumps plus Polotrag, Tuomico and SereneLife, which between them account for a large share of the electric SUP pumps sold.
The hose is 110 cm, about a third of a foot longer than the usual meter, and it ends in a threaded hermetic connector rather than a push fit. Seven nozzles come along for boats, kayaks, rafts, pool platforms and tents, so the same kit inflates the rest of the gear once the board is done.
Pros
- The only kit here that names five specific pump models plus three other brands, which removes most of the guesswork
- At 3.6 ft it is longer than the 3.3 ft standard, so the pump can sit off the board
- Seven nozzles cover paddle boards, boats, canoes, kayaks, dinghies, rafts, pool floats and tents
- Threaded connector rather than a push fit, so it will not pop off under pressure
Cons
- The most expensive kit in this list by a wide margin
- Compatibility is listed only for the OutdoorMaster Shark, Vortex, Dolphin, Cachalot and Orca, not the whole range
- No spare O-rings in the box, unlike the Therwen and Seamax kits
- Hose length1 meter (3.3 ft)
- Nozzles7
- Sealing gaskets4 included
- Materialhard ABS plastic
- Sealingsoft ring on each connector
- Fitsmost SUP and electric air pumps
Best for: A spare kit that lives in the board bag and never gets missed
The Mellisore set is the straightforward answer for anyone who wants a complete spare rather than a specific replacement. You get the meter of hose, seven nozzles and four sealing gaskets, and the fittings are hard ABS rated against heat and corrosion.
The detail worth paying for is the soft sealing ring on each connector. Most leaks in an electric pump setup happen where the nozzle meets the valve, not in the hose itself, and a kit that ships gaskets in the box saves the trip that otherwise follows. The trade is that Mellisore names no pump models, so measure your port before ordering.
Pros
- Seven nozzles and four sealing gaskets for roughly half the price of the OutdoorMaster kit
- Hard ABS is rated for high temperature and corrosion, which matters in a hot car and in salt air
- Every connector carries its own soft sealing ring, so leaks at the joint are designed out
- Light enough that carrying a second complete kit costs nothing
Cons
- Compatibility is stated only as most SUP electric pumps, with no model list to check against
- 1 meter is the shortest hose length in this list
- Plastic fittings rather than the nylon reinforced construction of the Seamax hose
- Hose length3.3 ft
- Nozzles7
- O-rings3 sizes included
- Contents1 hose, 7 nozzles, 3 O-rings
- Named pumpsHT-781, HT782, HT790, HT-792
- TypeSUP electric air pump replacement
Best for: A setup that holds pressure at the pump but hisses at the board valve
Therwen sells this as an eight piece kit and the count is the point: one hose, seven nozzles and three O-rings of different thickness. Pumps ship with rings in 3 mm to 6 mm ranges and the rings are what perish, so a kit that includes spares fixes a class of problem the cheaper sets cannot.
Compatibility is stated for the HT-781, HT782, HT790 and HT-792 electric pumps, the same family the Mgoodoo kit further down the list targets. Check the number printed on your pump housing before ordering, because the threaded fitting is what decides whether this works at all.
Pros
- Three O-ring sizes in the box, which is the part that actually stops a hose leaking air
- Names the HT-781, HT782, HT790 and HT-792 pump models rather than claiming universal fit
- Seven nozzles cover boards, boats, kayaks and household inflatables
- Every piece is individually replaceable, so one lost nozzle does not cost a new kit
Cons
- 3.3 ft is standard length, no extra reach
- Priced above the plain seven nozzle kits that leave the O-rings out
- The model list is narrow, so check the numbers on your pump first
- Hose length3.3 ft (1 meter)
- Materialnylon
- Pump connectorscrew-in, airtight
- Named pumpsSeamax SUP20S and SUP20D 20PSI
- O-rings3 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm sold with the pump
- VersionsHalkey Roberts, multi adapter, or Leafield C7
Best for: Owners of a Seamax SUP20S or SUP20D who want the factory part
This is the replacement hose Seamax sells for its own SUP20S and SUP20D pumps, and if that is the pump on your board it is the shortest route to a working setup. The hose is nylon, a meter long, and screws in for an airtight seal.
Read the version numbers before you click. Version 1 ships with the new style Halkey Roberts adapter preinstalled and a 5 mm O-ring. Version 2 has the exchangeable fitting end that lets one hose serve several valve types, which is the one to pick if you inflate more than the board. Version 3 carries the Leafield C7 adapter used on some boats.
Pros
- The manufacturer part for the Seamax 20PSI pumps, so the fitting is not a guess
- Nylon construction rather than the plain plastic used by most kits here
- Version 2 has an exchangeable fitting end, so one hose serves several valve types
- A Leafield C7 version exists for boats that use that valve
Cons
- Buying the wrong version gets you the wrong valve adapter, and the three versions look alike
- Aimed at Seamax pumps, so it is the narrowest fit in this list
- Stock is thin, with only a handful of units listed
- Hose length3.28 ft (1 meter)
- Nozzles6
- Contents1 hose plus 6 nozzle sizes
- Pump connectorscrew-in, airtight
- Named pumpsTuomico HT-781, HT782, HT790, HT-792
- Also listed formost standard SUP electric pumps
Best for: Replacing the hose on a Tuomico electric pump
The Tuomico hose that came in the box is the one this kit replaces, and Mgoodoo prints the model numbers so you can check: HT-781, HT782, HT790 and HT-792. Beyond that family it lists compatibility with most standard SUP electric pumps, which is worth as much as any other universal claim.
Contents are one meter of hose and six nozzles, one less than the seven piece sets. The connector screws in and is rated airtight, so the weak point stays where it always is, at the board valve rather than at the pump.
Pros
- Names the Tuomico HT model numbers, which is what you need when the original hose splits
- Screw-in connector rated airtight rather than a friction fit
- Six nozzle sizes cover paddle boards, boats, kayaks, rafts and pool toys
- Straight replacement pricing, well under what OutdoorMaster charges
Cons
- Six nozzles rather than the seven most kits here include
- No spare O-rings in the box
- 1 meter of hose, so the pump has to sit close to the board
- Hose length3.3 ft
- Nozzles7
- Mounting port0.8 inch, threaded, not snap type
- Materialhard ABS
- Sealingsoft ring on each fitting
- Fitsmost electric air pumps with a threaded port
Best for: Anyone who has measured the port on the pump and knows it is 0.8 inch
GRABOTE takes the honest route and publishes the number that matters: the mounting port is 0.8 inch and it is threaded, not a snap fitting. Measure the old hose end with calipers or a ruler and you know in ten seconds whether this kit works, which is more certainty than most listings offer.
The rest is the familiar seven nozzle package in hard ABS, with a soft ring on each fitting to seal the joint. If the measurement matches, it is a solid replacement. If it does not, nothing on this page will make it fit.
Pros
- States the mounting port size in inches, which is the one number that decides whether a hose fits
- Threaded connection rather than a snap fit, so it holds under high pressure
- Seven nozzles and a soft sealing ring on each fitting
- Hard ABS rated for heat and corrosion resistance
Cons
- A 0.8 inch threaded port only, so a snap fit pump is out
- Stock runs thin and the listing has shown single digit quantities
- No pump model names to cross check against
- Hose length145 cm (57 inch)
- Constructioncorrugated plastic tube
- Seal rating60 kPa sealed design
- Connector1.31 inch outer diameter, threaded, swivel
- Materialsoft ABS with sealing rings
- Fitsmost standard hand pumps
Best for: Large boards where a meter of hose leaves the pump in the water
Two things make this hose different. It is 145 cm long, which is the difference between the pump sitting on the sand next to you and the pump sitting where the last wave put it, and the wall is corrugated so the extra length flexes instead of kinking.
It is also the one hose in this list that names hand pumps in its compatibility. The connector is a threaded swivel with a 1.31 inch outer diameter and the assembly is rated as a 60 kPa sealed design. What you do not get is the seven nozzle spread of the electric pump kits, so this is a replacement tube rather than a complete adapter set.
Pros
- At 57 inch it is the longest hose in this list, nearly a foot and a half more than the standard meter
- The only kit here that states compatibility with standard hand pumps, not just electric ones
- The corrugated wall flexes without kinking, which is where straight tubes fail
- A swivel connector means the hose does not wind up as you work around the board
Cons
- A hose and connector rather than a full nozzle kit, so bring your own adapters
- The 1.31 inch threaded fitting is a specific size, so measure before ordering
- Corrugated tube takes more space in the bag than a plain hose
- Hose length145 cm (approximately 4.8 ft)
- MaterialPVC
- Ratinghigh pressure use
- Useassault boats, paddle boards and similar inflatables
- Nozzlesnone included
- Weightlight enough to roll into a dry bag
Best for: A bare spare tube for a pump whose nozzles you already have
The Colaxi is a hose and nothing else, which is exactly right if the thing that failed is the hose. At 145 cm it matches the longest reach in this list and the PVC is rated for high pressure work on boats and boards.
The catch is that nothing else is included and the connector size is not published. Colaxi asks buyers to check the pump brand with them before ordering, which is a fair warning to take seriously. Measure the fitting on your pump first and treat this as a spare rather than a first purchase.
Pros
- The cheapest item in this list by a clear margin
- 145 cm matches the longest hose here, so reach is not the compromise
- PVC rated for high pressure and listed as durable
- Rolls up small, which makes it easy to keep a second one in the bag
Cons
- No nozzles and no adapters, so it only helps if your fittings are intact
- Colaxi tells you to ask before assuming it fits a given pump brand
- The listing text is thin, with no connector diameter published
Checklist: What Makes a Great Hose for SUP Pumps
- Material Durability: Seek hoses constructed from high-quality, resilient materials like UV-resistant rubber or nylon, capable of withstanding constant use and exposure to the elements without degrading.
- Hose Length: Ensure the hose length offers ample reach without being unwieldy, allowing you to easily connect the pump to the SUP even if they are a few feet apart.
- Compatibility: Verify the hose features universal adapters or multiple nozzle attachments to accommodate various types of SUP boards and additional inflatables like kayaks or air mattresses.
- Kink Resistance: Choose hoses that are designed to resist kinking and twisting, which ensures consistent airflow and avoids any potential interruptions during the inflation process.
- Connection Security: Opt for hoses with secure connectors, such as screw-in or twist and lock mechanisms, to prevent accidental disconnections and air leaks during use.
- Portability: Consider the hose's weight and compactness for ease of transport, especially if you plan to carry it along with other gear for outdoor adventures or watersports.
