North Kite & Wing Pump

The North Kite & Wing Pump is a double-action inflation pump built by North for kiteboarding and wing foiling use. Sold in Medium (2.3 L per stroke) and Large (2.9 L per stroke) sizes, it covers the full range of inflatable kites and wings across North's lineup and other brands that use standard valve connections. The current version carries product code 85005.240079 and ships with the pump body, a large-diameter hose, a valve adapter, and a pump leash.

Designed around a tall body and high-airflow piston, the pump uses a switchable single-action or double-action mode. Double action pushes air on both the up and down strokes, cutting inflation time roughly in half compared to a single-action-only pump. Switching to single action at the end of the fill lets riders top off pressure with less effort. An ergonomic handle sits on top of the cylinder, and a shockproof pressure gauge is integrated into the body so riders can monitor PSI without an external tool.

This pump suits any kiteboarder or wing foiler who needs a reliable, sand-resistant inflation tool for beach sessions. The Medium size is a practical choice for riders who prioritize a lighter, more packable setup or who typically inflate smaller kites and wings. The Large version moves more air per stroke and is better matched to high-volume LEI kites or larger wings where faster inflation matters.

Because the pump includes both single and double action modes and an onboard pressure gauge, it works well for riders at every skill level — from beginners who benefit from visual pressure feedback to experienced riders who want quick top-offs between sessions. The anti-sand filter and sealed internals are aimed at extending pump life for riders who session on sandy beaches regularly.

North offers the Kite & Wing Pump as its primary hand-pump accessory, sitting alongside the brand's kite and wing gear rather than as part of a tiered pump range. It replaces earlier North Kite Pump models that carried a similar feature set but used the older product code (210079). The updated version retains the core double-action design and pressure gauge while continuing the large-diameter hose and anti-sand filtration.

Among competing pumps, the Duotone Kite Pump and the Ozone Kite Pump occupy the same niche — double-action hand pumps with integrated gauges — and typically fall in a similar price bracket. The North pump's two size options give buyers a choice that some competitors don't offer, letting riders match pump volume to their usual gear size rather than defaulting to a single one-size option.
