Christine's Sandboarding Experience


I recently took an afternoon adventure trip to go sandboarding in the South of Antofagasta. I went with some new Chilean friends and it was a first for a few of us. I've been snowboarding once and it wasn't the greatest experience, so I was slightly timid with the idea of sandboarding. It turned out to be a blast! This was my sandboarding story.......

The sandboard.....handmade


One board for 5 people and that wasn't to much because "sandlifts" don't exist so whatever you board down, you have to walk up and you need breaks in between! This was most of our gang, except of course for the talented photographer.

Now it's my turn and I'm getting into position! Great view of the ocean and the desert mountain. What a contrast between the two.


This took some leg muscles and balancing!!


It was a great day for sandboarding and I didn't have any major crash and burns!! A few people did though and we all had some good laughs.

Carolina y yo walking down to our destination spot.

Overall, what a thrilling experience and beautiful time we had!

Until next time,
Chao!
