South Africa is not well-endowed with snow, but we make up for it with some excellent sand dunes, and a great outdoor sport called ‘Sandboarding’.
Sandboarding has become a major activity in some parts of South Africa. This sport is extremely popular near Cape Town and in the Eastern Cape. Here you can slide your feet into a sandboard (a modified snowboard) and head down lots of quite steep, snow-white sand dune slopes. (The added advantage is that when you fall over you don't get wet or cold).
The guys and gals in Gauteng have also cottoned on and are now using an old mine dump near Benoni for sandboarding on weekends. It’s not called Mount Mayhem for nothing.
Every year an annual snowboarding competition takes place in scenic Betty’s Bay.
