Initially it was Crazy Ocean Riders then seemed to change.

Yes, that’s strange. What’s more important, board or pump ?

Wait, you still think this is legit?
If you get something delivered at all I would highly doubt it would live up to it's claims and be a functional pump, let alone be a pump that doesn't break within week or so knowing the average state of kickstarter products that make it to the stage of shipping a flimsy prototype.

The problem with all the demos are:
- There are cutaways.
We don't see the pump doing the inflating for the entire sequence. There are plenty of places where they could edit out other pumps being used. If you want to do a demo then do an actual demo and actually show the entire sequence with no cutaways.
- There's no confirmation of the pressure at the end. Simply putting on a name brand pump and showing the pressure gauge would be enough. With the board simply standing on it to show how stiff it is would be enough.
- The kites are antiques. I had exactly that 12m kite in 2006. The age of the kite is not such an issue. They're supposed to be a group of "... kitesurfers, designers, production, and engineers all over the world, including the US and Shenzhen.", but they can't get a kiter with current generation gear. They don't have a designer or engineer that could create a simple demonstration that is clear and repeatable.
PS Crazy Ocean Rovers? Really? I've never thought of myself as crazy or that I was "roving" across the oceans. I could imagine somebody with no kite/water/ocean experience thinking that.
the video I've posted previously is from an actual dual stage pump without any cut
It took 2 minutes em 10 seconds to pump a Bandit 12m up to 7 psi
if you think it is reasonable, here is the pump:

The one you posted weights 1.9kg without any battery in it, just the double stage pump.
On the other hand the supposed corpump is 0.350kg with a battery, the math does not add up

yep! And I've posted only as a reference in time, size, weight, etc...

Ok, so an update on my Avro pump. I have never run it from full to flat but did this over the last couple of weeks to test just how many inflations I can actually get. The max kite inflations I could get on one charge was 2x17m Contras, 1x15m Contra, 1x11m Switchblade and 1x12m Switchblade. I am still happy with this but will always charge up when I get down from the 4 full power lights to 2 or 1 power lights.

sounds great! In about 4 weeks I will get my Avro as well. Will post a review.
Cor collected almost 40.000 USD. Many videos, but I think we all want to see one video from zero to ready with the sound of the pump and the pump in the picture to really believe the product. Would be great.
