[cool]If you have the regular inner tube type air chamber, then you can find a cheap tire pump at Wally World or one of the discount auto parts places for about 5 Dollars. Go ahead and use the air compressor at the service station to get your tube most of the way aired up. Then, before you launch, you can finish it off with the portable. These come in the long cylinder type or foot operated.

It is not a bad idea to find a cheap bicycle tire pump to tuck in a back pocket. If your tube shrinks in cold water, or if you get a slow leak, the bike pump can put your cover back to a taut mode.

For folks with vinyl, urethane or other plastic air chambers...with Boston valves or Halkey Roberts valves, there are also inexpensive high volume pumps available at most places they sell air filled devices. Again, Walmart has one for about $6, and it fills a Fat Cat right up in about three to five minutes.
Here's a link to a past thread where we talked about pumps. Hope you can get what you need. If not, PM me and we can e-chat.
