I live on the Oregon coast where dunes access is everywhere. The nice thing about this sport is it only costs $15 to rent a board for 24 hours. The best part is you can make it a family time activity. Like today I also rented a sand sled so my 15 month old can go for a ride too ;-).

Does anyone know where the stepest sand dunes in the world, and then in Europe are?

Its like this little oasis in the middle of nowhere where you sandboard all day then hang at night. Nothing around but the stars and your fellow travellers. Huacachina, Peru is amazing.

I would recommend wearing sunglasses to keep the sand out of your eyes! I did this in NZ up at the Northern Tip – so much fun! I would recommend wearing sunglasses to keep the sand out of your eyes!

There are some phenomenal spots for sandboarding in this area. And when you're finished you can cool off in Lake Michigan. http://www.sleepingbeardunes.com/info/parkinfo.php Don’t forget the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan.

The dunes there are enormous and look out over the open Atlantic, Ilha Campeche, and the dune complex that surrounds the enormous dunes of Joaquina. The sand is pure and white and you can rent a board. Great place to sandboard! Another location with amazing sandboarding is Florianopolis, Brazil.
