[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Sandboarding is a boarding Sport similar to the popular Snowboarding.<\/p>\n

It is an awesome recreational activity that takes place on our large +-230 meter high sand dune rather than on a snow covered mountain. This boarding sport has adherents throughout the world, most prevalently in desert areas or coastal areas with beach dunes.<\/p>\n

\"sandboarding\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are very fortunate to have one of Africa’s highest commercial sand boarding dunes a stones throw away from Cape Town in Betty’s Bay.
\nOur guides\/s will provide you with training and safety on the dune. Sandboarding is a wonderful activity as its both fun and extreme (depending on your skills as you progress) Once our training session has finished we will start off with a smaller section of the dune. We will progress higher and higher up on the dune as your skills improve.<\/p>\n

The norm is to stand on the Sandboard as you descend down the dune but if you prefer to rather sit we will show you the ropes as this is also a lot of fun if your balance seems to get the better of you.
\nSandboarding is ideal for individuals but also extremely entertaining for larger groups and teambuilding options.<\/p>\n

Please note we don\u2019t take a sandboard per person we normally have a good amount of boards we rotate. The reason for this is not only does it minimize the effect on the dune from an environmental perspective but its also done for safety reasons.<\/p>\n

What to wear and bring:<\/strong>
\nBottled water is a must as you will get thirsty.
\nSunscreen – in summer!
\nComfortable clothes and shoes.<\/h3>\n
