Sandboarding!

Hi,

I've heard that sand dunes around Riyadh offer some of the best sandboarding in the world.

Does anybody know of any companies that organise trips / board hire?

Thanks,

Keith

I found some information about sandboarding but in Dubai only... Anyway, it seems they have some kind of championships in Jan / Feb: sandboard.com/locations/uae/dubai.htm

Let me know if you find out more on this activity in KSA :-)

This discussion has been moved to Riyadh forum

There are no companies that offer this sort of sport here, But then I do know people who do try this out on there own. A couple of my friends have fashioned themselves a board, took rudimentary safety stuff have hit the dunes.

The thing is , if you do this, and the saudi shabbab also come to find out about how fun this is , then maybe you might see the equipment int he stores in a few years.

Hey guys today I heard a few friends of mine talkin about the sand boarding in riyadh . Will paste the details soon when i confirm with them .

Cheers for the replies!

I might pick up my old snowboard when i'm back home at Christmas, and bring it over!
