Have you ever gone to the desert? Have you ever gone to a desert with a creepy name? Have you ever been to a sand dune? Have you ever gone snowboarding? Have you ever gone sand boarding? Have you ever gone sand boarding without knowing how to snowboard?

Yesterday, we went sand boarding in a desert called, Valle De La Muerte.  Sand boarding is exactly what it sounds like: snow boarding on a sand dune.   It was my first time on a snow board, or sand board, and I was pretty nervous.

When we parked at the bottom of the dune, with our tour group, it looked HUGE.  The dune was steeper than a beginners hill for snowboarding, that's for sure. I had asked myself, "So, how will I go down this without flipping over ten times?" Turns out, sand boarding is pretty easy.

We started out carrying our boards up an enormous hill.  At the top,  everyone strapped in their feet, and one by one, everyone went down.  When it was my turn, I hopped up on my board, and glanced down.  I reassured myself that it wouldn't be hard.  It wasn't hard.

I positioned myself at an angle, and dug my toes into the sand.  Then, I started gliding.  A few times, I got stuck, but it was fine after a bit of jumping.   After boarding six times down the dune, I felt like I knew what I was doing.  Even though sand boarding was fun, I'm not sure I would try snow boarding.

Here's a video of my sandboarding:
