Squall V1 Kite/Wing Pump

The Slingshot Squall V1 Kite/Wing Pump is a high-pressure manual pump built for inflating kites, wings, and stand-up paddleboards. Produced by Slingshot Sports, the Squall V1 uses a smaller-diameter double-barrel design paired with a three-stage switching mechanism, allowing riders to adjust output depending on where they are in the inflation process. The pump ships with a hose and a complete nozzle kit sized to fit a range of inflatable watersports gear.

Unlike single-mode pumps that force a trade-off between speed and pressure, the Squall V1 lets users toggle between three modes via a switch on the back of the pump body: double action (air moves on both the push and pull stroke for fast initial fill), single action (air on the push stroke only, reducing effort at moderate pressures), and single barrel (one cylinder engaged for reaching higher pressures with less resistance). This staged approach is designed to keep the physical effort manageable from start to finish, even when targeting the firmer pressures that wings and SUPs demand.

• Max pressure: Over 25 PSI
• Volume per stroke: 4.1 L
• Weight: 5.0 lbs
• Inflation modes: Three-stage (double action / single action / single barrel)
• Gauge: Integrated PSI gauge
• Included: Pump, hose, complete nozzle kit

The Squall V1 suits riders who inflate both kites and wings — or who also paddle on SUPs — and want a single pump that can handle the full pressure range across all three gear types. Standard kite pumps typically top out around 10–13 PSI, which falls short of the firmer inflation that many wings and virtually all rigid SUPs require. With a rated ceiling above 25 PSI, the Squall V1 covers that gap without needing a separate high-pressure pump.

Intermediate and advanced riders managing a mixed quiver will get the most practical value here. If you regularly switch between kite sessions and wing foiling sessions — or travel with both — carrying one pump instead of two simplifies the kit bag. Beginners who are entering the sport with a wing and an inflatable board will also find the three-stage system easier to use than fighting a single-action pump at high pressures.

Within Slingshot's own accessory range, the Squall V1 sits above the Kim K Kite Pump. The Kim K is a dual-action kite pump rated to roughly 13 PSI and priced lower, making it a solid choice for riders who only need to inflate kites. The Squall V1 steps up with its triple-mode design, higher max pressure, and broader nozzle compatibility for wings and SUPs. Listed on Slingshot's site under closeout pricing at $99, it represents the brand's more versatile inflation option for riders whose gear spans multiple disciplines.

In the wider market, comparable multi-sport pumps include options from Duotone and WMFG that also offer staged inflation and higher pressure ceilings. The Squall V1 competes in that mid-price bracket where buyers expect enough pressure for wings and SUPs without stepping up to an electric pump.
