    • When sand boarding wear sunglasses, partly for the glare or just to try and keep the sand out of your eyes.
    • The sand can get hot, but walking up the dune in shoes can be a bit of a pain.
    • When sliding down the dune, keep your arms tucked in and lift yourself up on your elbows. The ride can be a bit bumpy sometimes, especially near the bottom, and this will protect your ribs a little.
    • Easy and good fitness level required.
