Downhill Desert Experience - Extreme travel : Sandboarding vacations and wild adventures in South Africa. We have extreme sports, camps, tour operators and outdoor recreation in Cape Town.

For decades, people of all ages have been sliding down sand dunes on some kind of plank or other, searching for that elusive adrenalin rush that comes from mastering the skill of riding a mountain with break-neck speeds & consequences. Through the years Sandboarding has developed till what it is now.

True Sandboarding is the art of standing with two feet locked onto a board and carving arks down a dune. The beauty of it is that you can control the board and speed by turning, stopping and jumping with easy control of the board.

Sandboarding has its roots from the pure board sports of Surfing and Snowboarding. Sandboarding offers the exhilaration of Surfing and the freestyle manoeuvres of riding the snow, all with the pleasure of staying dry and not freezing to death! (O.K. so we don't have lifts but one ride will keep you running up for more).

The best part about Sandboarding is that it is easy to learn and accessible to the absolute beginner – so fear not, Adrenaline is just a slide away! It is also the best way to learn the fundamentals of Snowboarding as the basic principles are the same. Our expert boarders will show you just how easy it is!
