-

Sandboards come equipped with Dakine foot straps and heel straps, and three-way positioning foot pads.

Adventure Tips
Choose Your Sandboard Based on Experience
Opt for the Side Winder if you want a balanced, stable ride, or try the Diamond Back for faster, more exhilarating runs.
Stay Hydrated and Protect Your Skin
Bring plenty of water and use sunscreen, as the sun reflects strongly off the sand and can cause dehydration quickly.
Wear Comfortable Closed-Toe Shoes
Sand can become hot and abrasive, so shoes that protect your feet will keep you comfortable and safe while climbing dunes.
Avoid Sandboarding Right After Rain
Wet sand affects board performance and can make the dunes slippery and more dangerous to navigate.
