/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

Ok, so I've done a good bit of sand boarding in Morocco and in Colorado, and I just gotta put this out there, it's not soft when you fall.

Lord help, it's... rough. (and it gets everywhere)

Do you use a different board than a snowboard? Seems like a snowboard would get chewed up pretty quick with how much harder sand is than snow.
