We in Canada have snow, they have sand.

this is not sandboarding people, lets call it sliding down a dune on a piece of wood face first.

@Rockysteamer It's called "Kart Boord". It's only available in Norway, really, it melts at certain temperatures. Also you need to do a three-month course on how to hold it correctly.

@greencj You could call snow boarding the same thing...

[Rockysteamer]
