meatloaf Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has tried a kite on the beach with a snow board !!(or should i call it a sand board ) Surely it must work if your powered up enough.. Just a thought !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
eifion Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 The search tool is a wonderful thing http://www.flexifoil.com/community/forums/search.php?searchid=668803 I can't imagine it would work though for anything other than a straight drag downwind as it would be dificult to dig into the sand and hold an edge?

pornochologist Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 ive never tried it but a mate of mine has, apparently there is not enought to carve the board into the sand and also if you do try it. also use an old board cause the sand wil f*** the bottom up competely. try it and let us know how you get on Quote
monkeyinshower Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 I have sandboarded on some huge sand dunes in Puru, was quite a laugh, but it is a bit pants. If you were to do it I guess you might have more luck in the dry sand than the wet stuff. And wax up the board - that should get it moving. - The guys where we were used floor polish on the board, just slap it on and throw yourself down! I'd be interested in hearing if it worked though. But overall I guess you'd soon be giving up and reaching for a mountainboard. Good luck if you try it! Quote
jrobson Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 There is a local guy that does it, I asked him, he says it works really well once you get the hang of it. Locally they call them duneboards. There is a company that makes some with a very good base material, can't remember the name now, if you use them you should have very little problems. In dry lose sand, is it not a bit like snowkiting?? Quote
ajkiwi88 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 last yr (or the yr before i carnt remember) there was somebody at llandudno westshore using something simular with a blade kite and basicaly they would stand on the board and they would start going downwind lol so if u were careful them im sure u could do it cyaz aj Quote
marman Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 what about a skin board, maybe you could ut some cheap freeflex bindings on one, that would have to be gr8 fun Quote
