Sandboarding

Sandboarding

We joined the hipster hostel crowd and tried our hand at snowboarding…oops … sandboarding.   The usual outside the US safety briefing was given before our first run – “You can not hurt yourself.”  So off we went.   With your feet strapped into a snow board you tilt in/out for turns and speed control.    However, if you don’t mind full speed, skip lesson one and you will enjoy a demonstration of gravity.  I can speak from first hand experience that full impact with the sand does not hurt.   Gail did a great S turn on her last run.   The only flaw is that before every run, you are required to hike up a large sand dune.   The hipsters were hanging out on the sand dune cheering for good runs and laughing at good crashes.
