After a week
off we received a letter from our
coach with five airline tickets to Tunisia
on May 30, 2014. The letter
was a note saying: to be the best at something
you have to work hard.
He also said that for this
trip we only going to need our skateboard helmets, summer clothes and plenty of
sunscreen.
Once on the
plane, our coach started telling
us what it was our
trip: we were practicing "sandboarding"
a new sport practiced with a board that would help us improve our technique.
We arrived at the hotel at night, rested
a few hours and we had to get up early to go to the desert where we would sandboarding.
In the morning after the big breakfast, they got on us
in a 4x4 to take us to the resort. Once there we took our equipments and they swept
away us to the biggest dunes.
Sandboarding experts
told us the basic caves of the sport, then it was our turn.
At first it was a weird feeling, it seemed that we were
snowboarding, but in reality was totally different
because you had to have more
balance and falls ached more, also influenced
the warmth into the exhaustion.
Unfortunately on one of my downs I
stumbled upon a stone, I fell
down with a bad posture and when we went to the
doctor, he said that I had a
broken wrist.
Overall it was a good experience, because as I told you, we are lovers of the tables, and we like all modalities.
I leave a video
of our instructor. Hope you like it and
you feel encouraged to try this sport!
