Sandboarding like a fantastic way to adapt and make the most out of the available terrain and  sand dunes indeed can provide an alternative setting for training slalom turns when there is no snow around.

In general snowboarding on sand can offer a similar sliding experience, allowing riders to practice their technique, balance, and agility. Riders can take advantage of the sandy slopes to work on their edge control, carving, and quick turns.

And as the winter season approaches in South America, the snowboarders of Peru are seizing the opportunity to fine-tune their skills before the snow-covered slopes open. No doubt that sand dune slalom training can be a valuable pre-season activity, allowing riders to dust off their boards, regain their muscle memory, and enhance their overall performance. By practicing on the challenging sandy terrain, athletes can focus on perfecting their technique, honing their reflexes, and building core strength, all of which will greatly benefit them once they hit the snowy mountains.

It's great to see that the snowboard club in Peru is finding creative ways to continue training and enjoying their sport, even without snow. Adaptability and innovation are key when it comes to pursuing our passions, and it seems like they are doing a commendable job.

Keep up the good work, @snowboardclubperu, and enjoy your sand dune slalom training!
