There’s something weird about sand, esp. with the wheels I"m running. It’s all good and then with no warning they just break loose and you’re all over the place.
I think if I had straps then I might be able to deal with it ala snowboarding, but without them you go off the board. Even with straps I think the way it breaks so suddenly would make it very hard to get a bead on it.
The beach I rode was really nice to ride, since it’s slope towards the sea is shallow, the hard packed section is really wide, people cycle on it a lot
Hard packed portion is somewhere between 50 and 100 meters wide, but the tide make it wavy in some small parts, that’s were I ate, if wasn’t for the wavy sections I could go full speed with no issues
