Sandboarding is a sport practiced in sand dunes with enough of an incline to allow the sandboard to slide downward. When practiced professionally, the sport is similar to snowboarding.
The sport has its origins in professional skiing and was developed in Australia and Germany in the 1950s. Sand skiing originated in South America thanks to the Swiss Laurent Bernhard (member of our organization).
