Great Sand Dunes: Sandboarding in a National Park

Originally this video was going to be a 10 min flashback but I thought Christof's near concussion deserved more. On our way to climbing Blanca Peak we stop off at Great Sand Dunes National Park to try something new, sandboarding. We were having a great time until Christof became overconfident and decided to taste the sand. Let no one say he never sent it on a sandboard.
