sandboards

Dune riding equipment

Sandboards are boards designed for riding down sand dunes, similar to snowboards but adapted for desert terrain.

The surface is typically waxed to reduce friction against sand.

Sandboarding has emerged as a recreational activity in dune regions worldwide: We rented sandboards and spent the afternoon on the dunes.
