volcano boarding

Ash slope descent

Volcano boarding is sliding down the slope of a volcano on a board, typically while sitting or lying down.

The activity originated in Nicaragua, where tourists descend the ash-covered slopes of Cerro Negro on thin wooden or metal boards at high speeds.

It combines elements of sledding and sandboarding with volcanic terrain.
