SAND BOARDING IN EGYPT SPORT(INTERNATIONAL SAND BOARD EVENT IN EGYPT)

what is the sand skiing ? there are 2 types:

Downhill sand skiing involves finding a dune, hill, or mountain, climbing to the top of it and skiing down it. Is it fun? Lots - except for the part where you have to climb up the hill. You'll find no ski lifts, no trams, not even a rope tow. If you want to get up the hill, you have to climb it on your own. Nevertheless, the lack of these niceties doesn't seem to have prevented newcomers from being drawn to the sport.

Cross country sand skiing involves skiing finding a nice long scenic stretch of sand covered land, strapping on the ski boots and skis and having at it. Nothing strengthens the muscles and increases stamina like cross country sand skiing.

Whether you do downhill or cross country sand skiing, this is fantastic exercise. If you're not in shape, this sport will definitely get you in shape. If you're already in shape, sand skiing will keep you fit.

The Essentials of Sand Skiing

So what equipment does a sand skier need? Pretty much the same as a snow skier. You'll of course need skis, preferable older ones as sand, even fine sand, is an abrasive and over time can remove material from the ski's running surface.

Sand blindness, like snow blindness, can cause a temporary vision loss. To prevent it, you'll need a good pair of UV resistant sunglasses or goggles. You'll also need ski poles to push past some of the denser spots of sand.

Sand skiing is usually done in warmer environments - so dress accordingly. Wear light clothing and if the sun is intense, wear a hat to protect your head.

Finding the Perfect Sand

Snow skiers are very familiar with the different types of snow, for example skiing on powder is a much different experience than skiing on packed snow. It may surprise you that sand skiers have similar experiences. Coarse sand gives a much different experience than fine sand. Wet sand is much harder to traverse than dry sand.

As you get more into the culture of sand skiing, you're hear the terms "fast sand" and "slow sand". Fast sand is great, you'll feel as though you're gliding on glass. It's almost effortless. Slow sand can be a grind, like slogging through quicksand. And there are all sorts of gradients in between. Skiers looking for perfect sand is much like the prototypical surfer looking for the "perfect wave".

So skiers rejoice. No longer are you confined to the winter season. With sand skiing, you can not only enjoy your sport year round, you can enjoy it in almost any place in

 the world.

エジブトセンドボード

雨がほとんどないエジブトとひろい砂漠あるのでエジブトがセンドボードスポーツの大人気ところになりました

サンドボードは砂の斜面とボードさえあれば気軽に遊べるスポーツで、 ウエアーやブーツ等は不要です(基本的には裸足でOK)。 年齢、性別、プロ・アマチュア問わず、初心者からスノーボード上級者まで、 それぞれに合った遊び方で楽しむことが可能です。 また転んでも砂の上ということもあり、よほどに危険なことをしない限りは比較的安全なスポーツです。

サンドボードは夏の間充電中のスノーボーダーにうってつけのスポーツです。 サンドボードシーンを見てみると、スノーボードとよく似ていることに気が付くと思います。 すべり心地も限りなくスノーボードに近く、板が軽いため特にフリースタイルワンメイクジャンプを好むボーダーには最適です。 ライディングスタイルは、スキー場で行うスノーボードというよりも、バックカントリーでパウダースノウを滑走している状態に近く、 スラロームとフリースタイルのどちらも楽しむことができます。 スノーボ－ド人口の多い日本では、 雪を待ちきれないボーダーの夏の遊び又はオフトレーニングとして今後着実に広まっていくでしょう。http://www.lookategypt.com/special_safari.html
