Sand Boarding ~

 Sand boarding is a sport similar to snowboarding. It is a recreational activity that takes place on sand dunes rather than snow-covered mountains. During my trip to Western Australia in 2009 , my family and I tired sand boarding for the first time in our lives. I must say that i was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it a lot! But , there is a down side of it. Making your way up to the top of the sand dune is like a snail making it's way up a wall. The sand is so fine that when you step on it , it sinks instantly and plus the strong winds that blows the sand straight into your face makes it an even tougher challenge to 'hike' up the sand dune rather than sand boarding down itself. We used our boards as supports to anchor our way up up up the tallest sand dune we can find and sure enough , me and my sister were totally out of breath and exhausted. But all of that is worth it as we slide down the dune with great speed and the adrenaline rush was great. If you have the chance to try sand boarding , go try it out :) but beware of the process of getting up. ;)
