Made a rookie mistake and picked up an older Skurfer ballast bag and Sumo pump. Bottom line is what looked like a good deal turns out to potentially be a big waste. I need fittings to be able to connect the pump and bag together, the bag has old style water bed valves and the pump only has a rubber tip on the end of the hose. If you have fittings on hand and willing to sell them to me please let me know. Not having much luck getting solid advice from any vendors.
The fittings don't really exist anymore, I have a couple bags with the waterbed fittings and actually just fill using one of the vent caps and am able to fill to about 90% before I have to worry about getting water all over. You can make it work. Hoping you did not spend a ton of money on them and allow you to Gage how much weight will be ideal for you to surf, then go and spend more money on the right setup.

I don't know about the pump. I know that the Tsunami pump is one of the most popular. when I had a waterbed fitting bag on my last boat, I got one of these:

It allowed me to change the fill port of the Waterbed style bag to be a more modern fly-high connection.
If you could show a picture of what your pump has, that would be more helpful to see what kind of adapter it might take to modernize that... If the output hose of your pump has a typical 3/4" garden hose connection, then use this adapter to convert it to the fly high style male connector that will work with the above mentioned adapter on the bag:

However, if the output of your pump doesn't have any kind of connection that looks like you could get an adapter for it, get a barbed to 3/4" threaded connector (honestly going to your local plumbing store and getting a plastic piece that's barbed to garden hose would be cheapest).
But one of these would do the same thing:

BUT, if you're going to cut off the connector with this rubber tip that's at the end of your pump's hose anyway and replace it with a barbed fitting, you might as well get one less adapter and get this assuming you have the thicker hose 1 1/8" ballast hose on your pump:

But I don't know what hose your pump has, so again, that would be useful info for me to recommend the right adapter.
This what I am dealing with, thanks for all the replies so far.
