Topic Sandboarding Info
Sandboarding Intro in AZ?
On 8/8/2009 Shluk wrote in from Honduras  (200.107.nnn.nnn)

aHey guys-
I'm visiting some family in Arizona in the Fall and want to check out sandboarding. I saw this listing of places in Arizona:
Ehrenberg Sandbowl - Ehrenberg
Hot Well Dunes - Safford
Parker Sand Dunes - Parker
Yuma Sand Dunes - Yuma

But any suggestions on where to rent boards and even a lesson? (I've snowboarded and surfed and not even sure if anyone does lessons in AZ...)

Thanks!

Is Snow the same as Sand?
On 3/27/2008 WhimpyShaun wrote in from United States  (74.84.nnn.nnn)

I'm insterested in Sandboarding, since snow in West Texas is a rare find... are snowboards the same as sandboards? I've noticed the wax is different, what's the best? Any suggestion in bindings? I've seen some velcro types vs fixed?

Any suggestions?

sandboarding@México
On 2/13/2008 óscar marín wrote in from Mexico  (189.176.nnn.nnn)

Quiero hablar sobre sandboarding, deporte que acá en México, aunque poca gente realmente lo practica, se encuentra en crecimiento.
Los gustos de las personas cambian y seguirán cambiando a la par de dinámica de funcionamiento de la sociedad; buscando una alternativa, algo diferente que permita formar en ellas un sentimiento y sensación de identidad.
Aquí entra el sandboarding, mezcla de varios deportes, teniendo la sensación de contacto con la naturaleza y libertad como factor común.
En la zona del Golfo de California existen varios lugares que se prestan para practicar sandboarding:
La zona del Gran Desierto de Altar, al norte, donde encontramos bastante movimiento de la gente local. San Luis Río Colorado, Peñasco, Mexicali (http://www.sandboardmexico.blogspot.com/); con incursiones a las cercanías
de Yuma en Arizona. Están las dunas en San Nicolás, cercanas a Hermosillo, Sonora; varios lugares a lo largo de la península, desde El Descanso y El Socorro en Ensenada, hasta El Faro Viejo en Cabo San Lucas.
Y varias más que faltan por descubrir. Quiero mencionar Samalayuca en Chihuahua, Cohauila, Veracruz, Tamaulipas.
Muchos de estos lugares lamentablemente se encuentran en manos de los desarrolladores inmobiliarios, los cuales solamente tienen intereses económicos en los terrenos.
Procuraré seguir en contacto desde por acá.
Saludos.
Por cierto, me llamo Óscar y soy adicto a la arena.


I wanna talk about sandboarding.
Here in Mexico, despite there just a few people practicing, it is a sport that´s definitily gaining adepts. There´s a trend in people choices, looking for that things in the universe of conventional ones, trying to get that sensation and feeling to be diferent, the alternative way.
Here´s when sandboarding get in the spotlight: that mix of diferent sports, contact with nature and that powerfull feeling of freedom.
Along the Gulf of California region, there´s some spots with the perfect conditions for sandboarding:
Great Altar Desert, on te north (http://www.sandboardmexico.blogspot.com/), El Descanso y El Socorro en Ensenada, San Nicolás, one hour from Hermosillo, Sonora. Even at the tip of the peninsula, El Faro Viejo en Cabo San Lucas, nice spot.
Needed to be mentioned Samalayuca in Chihuahua, Coahuila, Veracruz, Tamaulipas.
Sadly, most of this places are in the real state bussines, seeing just economic profit on the land.
i´ll try to keep in touch.
Best regards.
By the way, my name is Óscar and i´m addicted to sand.

The First Snowboard Contest - 1981
On 1/25/2008 Jack wrote in from United States  (64.161.nnn.nnn)

Finally figures out the YouTube thing...having some fun.

The First Snowboard Contest - 1981
Held at Ski Cooper in Leadville, Colorado. The event was sponsored by Offshore Clothing. This footage is from the video "Snowboarding's Holy Grail". Take a look at my footwear, Converse leather high top All-Stars. My speed suit was sponsored by Coors, even though I was probably the only guy at the contest who didn't drink.

Great video.

We have big sand dunes in Casper Wyoming at Lake Alcova.
We used to slide down the dunes on water skis... it didn't work too well. There was no run-out..... you had to face-plant in the water.

I want to know why Jack has had the same coiffure for 45 years? :)
And, how come Fluitt was falling so much?

Jack, Gary, greta stuff! That sure looks like like it would be a lot fun for sure.

Gary I think it was really smart letting Jack test the binding set-up first :)

Jack made me wear the Truckers hat but those sweet short shorts were all my idea. Watch him cut me off in that last scene though, clearly stealing the lime light.
Excuse me while I go put some groovy surf tunes on....

Surfin' dunes
On 5/9/2007 PSR wrote in from United States  (208.5.nnn.nnn)

Stance it aft by an inch or more. Clean off the old snow wax with citrus base cleaner. Detune the edges (base bevel) by 2 degrees, maybe 3* even. If it sticks on sand after the citrus cleansing, put Zardoz Not Wax on the base or Silicon Spray.
That should get you going, and the only bad thing here is the edge-detuning, as that'll make your board very 'loose' feeling, with very little edge grip if it's used again on Snow. So, a re-tuning would be likely if you intend to use that board again as a snowboard.

Sandboard Wax
On 2/27/2007 Dr.Dune wrote in from United States  (70.56.nnn.nnn)

Yes it will work but not as well as snow wax will on snow.
Sandboard wax is much harder than snow wax as it has to work in much higher temps than snow wax.
Use snow wax for snow and sand wax for sand.

craig i am glad you found henry sarria. i grew up with him and have known him since 1970 or so.i have been through it all with him, by his side, all of his boarding days from when he first started with his old rocket board with metal wheels and then i stayed with him for 12 year until he moved to calf.[i still have his old rocket and his jim overland surf board that he first started out on.] i wrote the first message hoping to track down some of his old friends in fla. just for fun. i forgot that i did this and i guess that you found him before i could tell him your e mail address. i'm glad that you are talking with him now and i called him and told him i found you. i hope i can find more of his friends from the 70's. it's always so nice to hear from old friends.
thank's valerie
henry's best friend from fla.
