Raptors are a totally different board design tho - one directional and stiffer... less performance than an Ocean Culture, you must've landed wrong or lucked out to bust 2 of 'em!

I busted 2 ocean culture boards doing jumps they are made out of pine. I got a Venomous Raptor after that and have been riding it for 2 years with no problems. Raptors are made out of much harder wood so take a lot more punishment.

Hi, I've got about 200 dollars and want to buy a decent sandboard. I want something thats pretty fast and is gonna last a long time, something thats gonna with hold grinds and jumps. I've tried the Venomous Raptor and thought it was pretty good, but there are some other sandboards I haven't tried yet, like the Ocean Culture FreeCarve. Or I could just go to the sports shop and buy a used snowboard for about $50. Which board is the best for me?

Sand Master Jam was great!
Digiacomo Dias ( Brasil )- Big Air Champion
Josh Tenge ( USA )- Rail Slide Champion
Forget the grip tap. The friction of the sand is too great to allow you to stay on the board. It will take the board out from under you with out some kind of foot strap system.

Hello all, I'm posting to try and keep this board fairly active :). I have almost completed my sandboard, all that is left is painting it and varnishing it. I'm planning to paint a map of the world on the top, with silver water and navy blue continents. I'm also hoping to order some Dr. Dune speed wax too.
Also, how was the Sand Master Jam Dr. Dune? Will there be an update on www.sandboard.com about it? Sounds like it would have been a lot of fun.
I am also in the process of converting my old skateboard into a sandboard by glueing on some formica. I think I'll try this one without any bindings, just the grip tape that came with the skateboard hehe.

Hi everyone, we are planning to go to the dunes in Yuma, AZ this sunday. I have been calling every sport rental shop in Tucson for sandboards but some of them haven't even heard about the type. Please write me any suggestions where to find any rental sandboards. I just want to try it out for one day, if I enjoy it I might build my own.
Thanks Ahmet.

Thanks!

Yeah, thanks, Dunester. I returned my old formica, and hopefully I'll be able to locate the kind I need.
Thanks again

The formica needs to be smooth. if its that slightly rough stuff its not going to slide very well. You could try sanding that rough stuff down a bit before you ride on it. That might work, but you need to get it nice and smooth. Just remember not to sand it too much or you'll go right through the base. The formica isn't all that thick.
Hope that helps.

I was just informed that the finish on the Formica is a matt finish. Whatever that means.

Hey sandboarders..
I'm looking for advice. I'm making my own sandboard, using Doc's informative recipe. Yesterday, I went to Home Depot and got some dinged up Formica (but definitely useable) for cheap for my base.
I didn't really even notice that the Formica was kind of coarse. It's definitely not glossy. Well, coarse isn't the best word to describe it. The Formica is hard and pretty smooth, but it's just not like super-smooth. Will it still work, or should I go out and get myself the glossiest available?
Thanks a grip,
Ade

Hey I am making a sandboard and am hoping to get out on it relatively soon! Thing is I live in Ottawa Canada so there's absolutely no dunes around here. But snowboarding is pretty good.
Anyways, a question about Formica: Am I the only one who finds it is rediculously expensive? At home depot a fairly large sheet is sold for 38 dollars canadian. I found some no-name brand Formica-like base for 2.98 so I went with that instead :P. Thing is the sheets are only 120 cm long and my board is a whopping 150 cm (I hope it's not too long for sandboarding). So there's going to be a slit in the base, but I think a heat gun, wax and some epoxy and wood glue should fix it up nicely.
Anyways I had to post my excitement for the sport, and I haven't even been out once yet! A group of friends and I might head out to Oregon Sand Master Park this summer for a road trip to try out real sandboarding.
Oh and please feel free to contact me about sandboarding, cuz none of my friends ever speak of it, or have ever heard of it.

The main purpose of sandboard wax is to assist the board to break free from the initial grab of friction. Many types of wax will do that and only that. True sandboard wax is computer formulated not only to break free but break free quickly and stay on the board as long as possible to sustain the initial effect. Positive conditioning of the base as well as protection from heat and contaminants are secondary benefits from real sandboard wax as well.
You can smear spagetti sauce on a tortilla and call it a pizza. You can even eat it, but a real pizza is soooo much better and is available anywhere. Don't settle for floor polish or any substitute when there are a number of inexpensive quality sandboard waxes out there.
To check out the "Real Pizza" contact Sand Master Park at:
http://www.sandmasterpark.com
They ship anywhere in the world.

OK. I am a beginner in sandboarding. I am building up 10 new boards for a group of Texas Tech kids to go boarding here in Texas. We are going to Monahans State Park in a couple of weeks. I am building the boards out of 1/2" 9-ply birch with formica base. Each board is roughly 12"x60" twin tips. I assume DR. Dune's Speed wax is the best wax to use, but I am having a little trouble getting ahold of any place to buy some. My dad grew up around the sand hills in Kermit and Monahans Texas, and they always used candles or Gulfwax
canning wax. I have heard to use everything from carnauba to parifin, to hard wood floor wax, to even liquid teflon.
What is the best and what are the alternatives?
Do I need to re-wax before each run?
How much wax do I need to apply each time?
Anywhere I can get Dr. Dune's Speed Wax rather quickly?
How do I go about hot waxing and is it necessary?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
