Luxury Africa will transport you directly to the sandboarding site in dunes, in the comfort of our luxury Land Rover Discovery (LR4). Once at the site, under the watchful eye of your instructor the fun begins!
The real art of sandboarding is balancing your weight with your feet fixed to a sandboard whilst skimming down a sand dune. You can control your need for speed by firstly selecting a dune with a height and angle that you are comfortable testing your limits on, and secondly controlling your descent using a method referred to as carving which is the art of shifting your weight from your heels to your toes forcing the board to steer left or right. Once these skills have been mastered you can start throwing in a few tricks of your own like jumping and ramping off smaller dunes and busting out backflips with 180 degree spins!
Cape Town boasts the ever shifting dunes of Atlantis where the dunes reach up to over 100ft (35 metres) in size. A 4x4 pickup truck transports you to the top of the dunes, so you will not tire too quickly!
