Hydrate before you go

Protect your skin and eyes
High SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses make sunset photography comfortable and prevent sunburn on exposed skin.
Secure loose items
Fasten cameras, phones, and hats during dune bashing — sudden shifts and airtime can send gear flying.

Dune bashing includes sharp turns and steep slopes; choose front seats if prone to motion sickness and avoid after recent back injuries.

Closed-toe shoes or light hiking shoes
