Sand boarding

Sand boarding is a popular beach activity for families, but is often avoided in the cooler months due to not having the right clothing. Whilst sand boarding can be done in just a t-shirt and board shorts, this choice may not the comfortable during the winter months, as summer clothes will not keep you warm. Geraldton Surf & Sail sell a decent variety of sand boards and warm clothing designed for the beach that won’t fill the car with sand afterwards.
