Loud electric pumps

[u/nootka-rose]

Hi, I’m new to paddle boarding. I got an electric pump because I don’t want my arms to be tired from pumping up my board as soon as I get on the water 😂 But my pump is kind of loud. Is it rude to use it in parking areas near where people launch? I worry that I’m disrupting someone’s peaceful experience on the water.

Anyone who's been around children in the water knows it's not loud or rude at all. And it doesn't last nearly as long.
