I'm from melbourne austraila and i am going to college as a seaside toun with lots of surf beatches with huge sand dunes, the oyher week I found a old snowboard at the tip, i am in the process of converting it into a sandboard, how to i make the bindings? i have the propper screws for the board, what straps work the best Velcro or buckles?, elastic? the reason the board was at the tip was because the bottom plastic lawer was comming off, i cut off what was comming off and smoootherd it with a heat gun so now it only is covered by roughly 2/3 of the bottom of the board. do i remove the rest and replace it, but with what? and whare do i get it from?

Sand Master Park is holding a 4th of July open house with demos, give aways and free concert for all attending.

If you havent' been to Sand Master Park and tried out the rail slide park, the pro launch and jump or the indoor simulator, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss!

As promised, here are some photos of my friend and I at our local dunes - er, quarry. Thing is the photos are in an album, so here's what you do to view them:

- go to www.web-a-photo.com

- On the main site, type squashedbanana@hotmail.com into the blue "Album search" box. Then click "go"

And then you can double click on my only album there. Please feel free to e-mail any comments etc. about the photos or sandboarding in general :)

Both strapping systems are very good. Its just a matter of knowing how to adjust them. The main thing is that anything you use has to have a heal strap otherwise your foot will want to come out everytime you try to turn.

I would definately try one of those Venomous Sports though if you like the Freecarve. The Sport flexes. With that flex you can carve tight turns. A friend compared it as the board being "alive". I would try one if you get the oppertunity. And its a twin tip so you can ride switch and rails too.

Yeah you can't wax when you ride wet. And riding wet sand hardly ever works. The best is when its raining, WHILE its raining. Just don't wax. But yes, wet hard-pack is definately not as easy on the body as the dry stuff. Try some of the SMP Park wax too. That's even faster then the Speed Wax. The only trade off though is you usually won't get as far as the Speed Wax on the bigger hills. Can't have it all I guess.

Slip it! Slide it! Ride it!

Sandboarding a... success? I was almost sure my home made boards wouldn't work at all, but I took them out to a local sand quarry and, to my amazement, worked really well! We even made a small jump out of sand there, we'll go back and make a jump out of potato bags filled with sand and such. Falling on cold, wet, packed sand is much more painful than one would think!

I'll get some photos of my boards and our sand quarry "playground" within the next few days, hopefully it won't rain tomorrow.

For the record: I found that riding dry formica instead of waxed formica made the ride a lot faster. Maybe it's the type of sand I'm riding, or maybe it's because I was using candle wax instead of Dr. dune's speed wax. Either way it was a blast :)

Thanks for all your help. I'm extremely happy with my Ocean Culture board, though. I don't know if it was just the sand or what, but I like the Ocean Culture board a lot better than the Raptor. One big minus about the Raptor is the foot straps, I can't seem to loosen them and when we were done sandboarding, my feet were all bloody. But the Ocean Culture board has really comfortable straps, and that was a big buying influence for me.
I just went sandboarding with a friend yesterday who just bought a Venomous Sport at the Sandmaster Park. We just went to our local sand dunes an it was pretty cool. Where there was grass, the wind would blow away the sand in front of it and leave a bunch of sand in the back. I had a great time jumping them, even if you only get a couple feet of air.

Greetings Friends!

Ocean Culture and Venomous both make excellent boards. To compare a Raptor with a Free Carve or Jump Board is like comparing a spoon with a fork ( you wouldn't eat soup with a fork or steak with a spoon ). They are both perfect for their intended application. Another may say that chop sticks are better. But the point is, It all depends on what you're eating. Fortunately, there are now enough sandboard makers to give the consumer a nice variety.

The best way to determine which board is best for you and your type of riding is to visit Sand Master Park and rent a board. There you can try every manufacturers boards from around the world for one price all in one day. By choosing the right board for your style, you won't have to eat peas with chop sticks! Follow?

Now I'm riding the Raptor bout every day and I can see that it is way faster than my old Ocean Culture board. I can turn tighter and carve deeper than I ever could before. I don't care what any body says. RAPTORS RULE!
