Whilst sandboarding itself is a little fun. Riding your own creation is stacks fun. I made this board when i was about 9 and it still amazes me how well it came out. (not blowing my own trumpert though…)
It used to have straps but i’ve since took them of for a more surfing feel.
these were only about 12’ dunes so there wasn’t a lot of room for carving but its still good when theres nothing else to do ( ie… can’t go surfing).
When I was a teenager I used to sandboard this place, which is half an hour from where I live. The dune is very very high and steep but the ride was quite disapointing since you can’t really get much speed sandboarding compared to snowboarding or skateboarding. So much drag …
mate , if you get hold of an old boogie board , those things FLY down sand dunes !!
I used one at lancelin here , whose dunes are also very steep and high , and ended up having to SIT on the thing , to maintain control [with my light weight , and no footstraps , standing up became too hazardous …got launched on a few bumps going very fast !
