In this quick look video we show you some of the newest pumps from GRI which you’re likely to see in some future iSUP packages. We also talk about some of the GRI pumps that are already being used in iSUP packages around the world.
GRI are one of the worlds biggest pump manufacturers, and their pumps are used across a wide range of brands. iSUP pumping is becoming easier for sure, and our first impressions of the latest HP8 and HP9 pumps are that GRI have definitely been working hard on getting their pumps to inflate faster and more comfortable to use in 2020.
Remember a quick look video is not a full review. It’s to highlight what’s new or whats about to come out on the market in the coming months.
Look out for our comparison test using these pumps soon.

Where’s the parts for these? My HP2 is 2 years old and the top seal recently self-destructed. Do I have to buy a new one every 24 months or does this company support their products? Can’t find them online.
Hey Steve. We will have a look into this for you. Have you tried contacting GRI? Pump seals should be pretty stander stuff to get hold of. I will see what I can find out.
Hi, any idea where to get a new O ring from for these pumps? Mine has recently broken and I’m struggling to find a replacement.
Hi Maria, I think a quick ebay search for large rubber o rings will get you in the right place. I had a look and there was a few on there but unsure of what size you needed.
Hi Ruben, you reviwed these some 8 or 9 months ago. The HP9 is showing on the GRi website as a current model for 2020 but I can’t find a UK based retailer.
Can you please tell us where we can buy one?
Hey Ryan, Im on it. I will find out and get back on here.
Hello,
I’m interested in the HP9 and cannot find a dealer, too. Sounds interesting as allround-pump for SUP and kajak.
Is it possible to suck out the air, too?
Hi John, No the HP9 is inflate only – dealers do seem hard to find as GRI are many focussed on selling these pumps to brands rather than directly to consumers. Demand like this for these pumps is something we keep highlighting to the pump brands.
