Sandboarding in South Africa

sandboarding

 


Jun 14, 2012

Everyone has heard of snowboarding, but sandboarding? Absolutely! If you are looking for something new and a bit extreme to try, then you may want to check out Downhill Adventures on your next trip to Cape Town, South Africa.

 

Sandboarding is a relatively new sport to South Africa, which was established by a few thrill seeking adventurists in 1974. Today there are fully equipped tours available for those visiting Cape Town. The gear used while sandboarding is essentially modified snowboard equipment. You must be prepared to get covered in sand and falling is part of the learning curve. So pack your sunscreen, lunch, and a pair of socks and hit the dunes!

 

Massive powdery, white sand dunes await you just 40 minutes from the city in the Atlantis Nature Reserve. Not only will you experience an adrenaline pumping adventure, but you will be surrounded by stunning panoramic views of Cape Town and Table Mountain.

 

Once you return from a day full of gliding down the dunes, you may be looking for your next adventure. Why not rent a car in Cape Town and explore Table Mountain National Park? If you enjoy hiking, there are several trails to choose from that will reward you with breath taking views of the city from the top of Table Mountain. Don't worry if a rigorous climb isn't your thing, as you can also ride a cable car all the way to the summit.
