Title – Sand-boarding
Date – August 1999
Location - Kalbarry – Western Australia
Sand Boarding is the perfect example of how Australia has embraced the adventure sports bug. In an environment where there is almost nothing but immense sand dunes they have taken the most alien equipment, in the form of a snowboard and decided to use it to glide down the dunes at a rate of knots, matched only by snowboarding on the snow itself.
Sand boarding is not without risk, some locations do not allow people to stand up as a fall can be quite painful and even dangerous.
