Volcano Surfing: Sandboarding

Volcano Surfing

Volcano surfing is a recreational sport that was derived from sandboarding, in which athletes ride downhill on slopes that are covered with volcano ash, using a surfboard. The sport is classified into two types, surfing on active volcanoes or on inactive volcanoes. The lava and gases from an active volcano present more challenges and make the excursion more difficult. Volcano surfing can be done with thin plywood of any metal board but most riders use sandsurfing boards with binding and boots.
