Get to grips
with plaining down gigantic dunes like a Snowboarder. The
best part about Sandboarding is that it is easy to learn and
accessible to the absolute beginner - so fear not, Adrenaline
is just a slide away! It is also the best way to learn the
fundamentals of Snowboarding as the basic principles are the
same. Our expert boarders will show you just how easy it is
at the largest dunes in the Cape up the West Coast!
We give a complete sandboarding course,
based on Internationally accredited snow boarding training.
After mastering the basics
of Sandboarding under the African sun and a picnic lunch in
the dunes, everyone will then get rid of the sand and learn
to ride the ocean waves for the second half of the day. We
teach absolute beginners the basics of surfing, showing you
the way to paddle out, catch a wave and control your body
weight to stand up. Professional surfers take you out into
the water and give you individual training to make you more
confident in the waves. The surfing is usually done at Blouberg,
Big Bay, Long Beach and Cool Bay where there are almost always
the perfect waves to learn on. If there are waves in Muizenberg,
we will definitely pursue the warmer waters.
Where else can you learn or practise these
two great activities in one day, all taking place in the beautiful
scenery of South Africa?

this a rewarding experience filled with spectacular views
of natural landmarks in & around the 'Mother City''. 90%
of the ride is downhill with 10% uphill, so either take a
relaxing ride absorbing everything Table Mountain has to offer
or challenge yourself against the terrain. Halfway along the
ride there is also the opportunity to cool off and take a
swim in a crystal clear rock pool on the slopes of Table Mountain
