Every owner of an inflatable stand-up paddle board knows all too well the moment when it's time to deflate the board and the sounds that are made. You've most likely warned any nearby spectators or young families about the impending roar of air as you squeeze the valve. As a newcomer to the sport, deflating your board can even draw unwanted attention as you pack away your new SUP, only to have surrounding beachgoers jump at the sound and look around for the source of the unexpected sound.
The Red Paddle Co Silent Air Remover is designed to eliminate those awkward moments by providing a more subtle and peaceful way to deflate your board. The Silent Air Remover reduces the noise of a board inflated to 18 psi from over 130 decibels when the valve is initially depressed to less than 80 decibels. That's equivalent to a jet taking off compared to background noise in a restaurant.
Precision-molded in Germany, the unit is compatible with any inflatable that uses an HR valve, which includes most inflatable paddle boards on the market. It mounts the same way you would connect a pump hose and is designed to be disassembled so all parts can be replaced as needed for easy product maintenance. The Silent Air Remover disperses the initial noisy airflow and can be removed after 60 seconds to allow your board to be drained in the normal manner. This has little or no effect on the time it takes to pack up your SUP.
