Another kind of Surfing

Warm snowboarding. Wetsuit-less surfing. 300ft high "waves." Yeah, your chips may get a little sandy, but it should be worth the sacrifice.

An ideal place for beginners is Oregon, where you can find board rental shops and sign up for lessons. There are 40 miles of dunes on the central Oregon coast, and Sand Master Park offers rentals, lessons, competitions, and other dune amenities.

When: Summer recommended (Sand Master Park is open 7 days/wk from June 1st - Sept. 10th).

Risk Factor: Probably akin to that of playing in a sandbox, unless you go to sites in New Zealand, where one surfer managed to get himself killed.

Due to the complete lack of badass sandboarding pictures
in Oregon, here's what you can look like if you go in Dubai!
