Have you ever wanted to snowboard on sand dunes?





It’s Dani from www.makeaquick.com here. I am an avid snowboarder, so when I moved from frigid Canada to the summer wastland that is California, one of my friends gave me a, what they thought was hilarious, going away present.

While I was cleaning out my closet the other day, I re-discovered the present . It’s called a Sandviper, and it is used for “snowboarding” on sand dunes. This thing is real, and apparently very popular in places like Dubai. Now the sandviper comes in various different shapes, depending on your style of sand boarding…

I do like boarding, but maybe a ripstick, longboard or something of that sort would have been more appropriate?

The special conditions on sand need specific equipment, hence this special board. “The front area is wide for more boosts in the sand and gets narrow in the back for aggressive maneuvers. The bottom side is slightly convex from nose to tail for an optimal float angle. The top side is vaulted therefore no sand amasses on the board and transfers more power from the foot to the board by the rampant angle. The foot loops assure an easy step in or out and transmit foothold and control of the board to the driver.”
