A day of sand boarding in Lancelin, Western Australia
Just an hour and a half north or Perth is the town of Lancelin, nestled on the edge of the ocean and home to some stunning beaches it's a super popular spot for a relaxing day trip, but what if relaxing by a beach doesn't quite tickle your fancy, what if you want to scream your head off and end up with sand in places you never knew possible (hey you with the dirty mind, stop it)?!
Sand boarding is the perfect way to spend an afternoon, it's cheap, it's fun and its a killer work out (because what goes down, has gotta climb up the metres of sand again). Grab a board from the surf shop in town and drive into the dunes, clamber to the top of the steepest one you can find, strap on your board and off you goooooooooo.
If you don't have a 4WD you're best parking at the bottom of the entrance to the dunes and sticking to the few you can see right in front of you, if like 90% of other aussies you have a 4WD lower your tyre pressure and drive off into the distance, the landscapes are absolutely incredible.
Getting back up seriously sucks...
But the views make it all worth while
Something was funny (read: trying to pose was funny)
I like to call the above photo 'hands up if you've got sand in your pants'
Absolutely stunning, am I right?!
If you're heading up to Lancelin please, please remember to be sunsmart- it's the easiest place to end up burnt like a lobster!
Have you been to Lancelin before, or have you ever been sand boarding?
