The book starts with the origins of sand sliding, then moves into equipment analysis, focusing on design and materials. Sandboarding techniques are another key focus and include practical advice on body positioning and speed control. Beyond the techniques, Dune Surfing uniquely addresses the environmental impact, promoting responsible riding and the Leave No Trace principles.
What makes this book valuable is its blend of practical advice and scientific insight, written in an accessible tone for both novices and experienced riders. The book progresses by first laying a historical foundation, then building on this foundation with technical aspects, and concluding with a discussion of environmental responsibility.
