The Perfect Day on the Water: Essential Accessories for Your Cannonballer

You've got the RadPadz Cannonballer - the toughest inflatable dock on the water. Now, it's time to complete your setup. The right accessories can turn a great lake day into the ultimate lake day by enhancing safety, security, and pure fun.

Here are the 5 must-have pieces of gear that every RadPadz owner should consider for the 2026 season.

1. The High-Speed Electric Pump (The Time Saver)

A manual pump is great for topping off, but an electric pump is the true game-changer. The time you save on setup can be the difference between a quick morning swim and a late start.

• Why it's essential: Our recommended high-pressure electric pump, the CYCPLUS D14Pro, quickly reach the 4-8 PSI needed for perfect dock rigidity, ensuring your Cannonballer is firm and ready for action in minutes, not half an hour.

 

2. Reliable Anchor System (The Drifting Stopper)

Unless you're planning to drift with the current, an anchor is mandatory. We recommend a simple yet effective anchor setup, such as a mushroom anchor or a sandbag anchor, especially in open water or windy conditions.

• Why it's essential: A lightweight folding anchor or a RadPadz Sandbag Anchor (which you fill with sand or rocks on site) keeps your dock exactly where you want it. Always use a marine-grade rope that is long enough for your water depth.

 

3. Inflatable Dock Connectors (The Party Link)

Want to link your Cannonballer to your boat, another float, or even a friend's dock? Connector straps are simple, short pieces of webbing with clips that allow you to securely daisy-chain multiple water toys together.

• Why it's essential: Creating a floating armada maximizes space and keeps the group together, whether you're rafting up boats or creating an enormous floating platform for a party.

 

4. Sand-Free Quick-Dry Towels (The Perfect Lounge Gear)

Your Cannonballer is the ideal place to dry off and lounge, but soggy, heavy cotton towels are a pain. Our sand-free, quick-dry towels are specifically designed for the water environment.

• Why it's essential: These microfiber towels are lightweight, absorb a huge amount of water, and dry incredibly fast in the sun. Crucially, they repel sand and are compact enough to stash neatly in the Cannonballer's carry bag or on your boat, keeping your dock clutter-free and comfortable.

 

5. Safety and Repair Kit (The Peace of Mind)

While your Cannonballer is built tough, accidents do happen. Having an accessible and well-stocked repair kit is a simple investment in the longevity of your dock.

• Why it's essential: Ensure your kit includes specialized, high-strength PVC glue and patches for quick, secure field repairs. We also recommend a small first aid kit for minor scrapes and bug bites—because safety is always the coolest accessory.

Equip yourself with these five accessories, and you’ll be ready for a seamless, secure, and fun-filled day on the water with your RadPadz Cannonballer.
