How to Ride a Dune on a Sandboard

Sandboarding is the sport of riding sand dunes with a board under the feet.
Sandboarders adopt techniques that can also be seen in snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding.
This video shows us how to successfully ride a dune from top to bottom without complicated tricks and maneuvers.
Watch how the Martín Guerra-Heredia carves the sands of the North Dune, in Huacachina, Ica, Peru, and keeps the descent simple and effortless.
Guerra-Heredia is the founder of the International Sandboarding and SandSki Association (InterSands), Sandboarding Peru, SandSki Peru, and Club Peruano SandSnow.
Get involved with sandboarding.

Awesome. This is next on my bucket list...any important things I need to know besides bring an actual snowboard?

[@surfertoday]

Maybe a helmet. 😉

[@qurpt7319]

Don't bring a snowboard, sand boards are very different but I'm probably a bit late

[@SavageBokoblinCrusher]

Looks Awesome! I just tried it out too 😎

[@antonioromao5681]

Nice!

[@noirth-security]

Awesome sir and you really kicked some bum out there on the slopes - ahem, I mean dunes. Please put that necklace in your pocket though, I can't imagine how bad of a neck injury you could have IF you wiped out and got your finger/hand stuck in there.

damn that looks like fun !!!

[@madlen3524]

This is really awesome! Thank you for inspiring. Also what's the song called? :)

[@dorjanas8532]

It's called shazam ;)

[@inner_peace_inn]

What type of wax do you guys use in your boards?

[@surfertoday]

Beeswax or standard paraffin-based wax with sand-repelling properties meant for warm weather will do the work. You can even use surfboard or snowboard wax.

[@inner_peace_inn]

@@surfertoday awsome, thank you (:

[@surfertoday]

@insanity Yes, you can. Although there are a few subtle differences between both boards.

[@aaatmusic]

Melt s candle in saucepan on the stove add crushed graphite from a lead pencil, stir well. Pour into small container to set. That is how to make the best sandboard wax.

[@WTFisTingispingis]
