"Pumping up a SUP is arguably the worst part of your whole trip, not to mention what to do with the pump once you're done"

Well, they solved that problem.  But if you watch the video, the girl leaves the HOSE behind on the dock.  Whoops, so close..

Inflates on its own and is self powered.  Are they coming out with a APP for surfing without even leaving the house?

I guess you just use the paddle as a brake?
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

I can see somebody falling off without a leash and having the board take off on it's own.

If you manage to hold on to the paddle during your fall, the power button for the SUP is built in.  :P
