History
Lancelin grew as a fishing and coastal service town; the dunes themselves are coastal deposits shaped over millennia by ocean currents and prevailing winds.
Conservation
Dune vegetation is fragile—stick to access tracks, avoid trampling foredunes, and pack out all trash to protect nesting shorebirds and native plants.

Start early for calmer winds
Morning sessions usually have lighter winds and firmer sand, making control and visibility easier.
Bring a reusable water bottle
Hydrate before and during your visit—there’s minimal shade on the dunes and sun exposure is intense.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand gets hot and abrasive; light hiking shoes protect your feet during climbs and falls.
Wax and briefings matter
Use the provided wax and listen to the safety briefing—these improve glide and reduce fall risk on steep runs.
High-SPF sunscreen
Protects skin from strong coastal sun during exposed runs.
