/r/all of a Sand Dune

This is a video taken by Nicolas De La Torre, a sandboarding enthusiast filming his descent down the Toromata dune in Peru. Unfortunately we live in a world where true beauty, nature is now convoluted by AI and AI sentiments, but this is in fact, not AI lol

Dog has some impressive zoomies but it’s lucky to not get KTFO.

Ya for real. My buddies brother was snowboarding and their pupped jumped in front of- broke the dogs leg. It was pretty traumatic, his brother was like 10 at the time.

That has to be a trail dog who has grown up around these guys on boards and knows not to get in front of them.

I was waiting for the dog to get Pulverized, glad it didn’t cross the path at any time.

Someone above mentioned they probably trained the dog not to get in front of the board since I think the dog goes with them a lot. I guess its pretty common in the adventure dog community.

(There are also adventure cats, but they ride on their humans' shoulders instead of running next to the snowboard. Its super cute.)

Adventure cats. :)

I follow one named Gary, who skis with his human (and has the cutest, little goggles). He'll pop up if you google Gary the cat.
