Winter Snow Summer Sand

Though there are still some mountains open around in the east coast and out west, but the little snow that they have is melting off and snowboarding is about to fade with the season. But riding doesn't end with the snow being gone. Obviously theres the options of long boarding, skateboarding, or surfing that you can get that feel of riding, but just in a different atmosphere. But if you want to try something else that will hold more true to riding on a mountain, seek out some sand dunes... Wait what?  Yea I said it kid sand dunes. Sand boarding is starting to grow in popularity especially in areas that have these massive sand dunes that are great to just take your snowboard, hike up and ride down, just as if you were on a mountain, but wearing shorts and teeshirt. This also gives those of you who aren't a fan of the winter cold to get on a board and try it out. To find a spot to go the easiest thing to do is search it in google. The northeast doesn't have many of these dunes, but Colorado and California, along with North Carolina but if you have the time and the cash there are amazing spots in Australia, South America, and the dunes of Sahara Desert. Heres a video, check it out and hopefully you'll have a chance to try it out.

  2. Looks sick, I wonder how close the feel is to riding snow. Something I would definitely look into if I was in the area of one. Except I would have to bring and ATV or dune buggie, way to lazy to climb up hill in hot sand.

  3. This looks really cool. It is not something that your typically see and for people who can't go snowboarding this is a really good alternative.
