A low wind pushes the crest of the Timlalin dunes into clean, rounded ridges while the Atlantic glints beyond — a wide canvas of golden sand and blue sea where each descent feels immediate and elemental. Guides meet riders just off the coastal road, hand over a sandboard and a quick technique lesson, then point to a series of slopes graded for confidence: small faces to practice the stance, taller runs for the first long slides, and wind-shaped ridges that reveal ocean views when you crest them.

Footwear for traction
Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip for hiking back up sandy slopes; flip-flops make climbs slow and unstable.
Sun protection
High UV and reflective sand mean sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses are essential even on hazy days.
Hydrate and pace
Bring a refillable bottle and take breaks between runs — walking on loose sand is more tiring than it looks.
Timing for light
Plan sessions for morning or late afternoon for softer sand and better photo light; mid-day can be hot and glare-heavy.
