Definition
The Aquafarer Oars and Pump Set includes a high-pressure dual-chamber pump with pressure gauge and a set of aluminum oars with reinforced blades for inflatable boats.
The problem
Inflating a SUP or boat with a single-chamber pump takes forever, and many budget pumps have inaccurate pressure gauges that lead to under-inflation.
How it works
The dual-chamber pump uses both cylinders on the downstroke for high volume when initially inflating and switches to a single high-pressure cylinder for final inflation to 15-18 PSI. The integrated pressure gauge allows accurate inflation monitoring. The oars feature reinforced blades and adjustable ferrules.
The solution
Use the high-volume mode for initial inflation (both chambers) and switch to single-chamber mode for final high-pressure inflation. The oars assemble in seconds and break down for storage.
Key comparisons
Our recommendation
Essential accessory for every Aquafarer board and boat owner. The pump significantly reduces inflation time compared to budget single-chamber pumps.

Is the pressure gauge accurate? ▼
Yes, the gauge is calibrated and reads accurately within 1 PSI across the typical operating range.
Can the oars be used with the AirDeck series? ▼
Yes, the oars include adjustable oarlocks compatible with AirDeck and RIB series boats.
What material are the oars made of? ▼
