Raymond’s Top Sandboarding tips

1. Keep your knees bent at all times

2. Your weight must be in the middle of the board, if you put too much weight on your front foot, you’ll wipe out

3. Don’t be afraid of speed. In sandboarding its important to keep you speed up or you will lose balance and hit the deck before you know it

4. Loose the fear. Unlike hard snow or ice, sand is gentle to land on, so don’t be afraid of falling over

5. Don’t carve as much as snowboarding as it will slow you down too much. If you do need to change direction or slow down slightly, opt for sharp slalom style carving over large and slow carving
