Sandboarding in the Namib Desert, Namibia

The Namib Desert is reputed to house some of the largest sand dunes on this planet.
Come conquer these constantly shifting and powerfully towering beauties by zooming down the sheer slip faces on a traditional Swakopmund sandboard or carve up the dune with style and skill on a snowboard adapted for sand.

Six different slopes to ride where speeds up to 80 kilometres per hour can be reached! An unsurpassed adrenalin buzz.

Lie Down Boarding: Catch your breath and gasp at the slope as you lie face down, dangling over the edge of a slipface, before being pushed off the edge and sent on your way down the carving, rolling, sandy slopes.

Stand Up Boarding: Highly recommended for snowboarders, surfers, and even the inexperienced boarder.

Top range equipment and excellent instruction make this activity a must do for the determined adventurist.

Shred down the sandy slopes of the Namib.

Join us for this environmentally friendly, unique, and "eeexcellent" Namibian experience.
Prices include transfers to the dune from Swakopmund, all equipment, safety gear, instruction, light lunch, drinks and a video. Stand up boarders have the option to try the lie down boarding at no extra cost.
No experience is required for either type of boarding
