Sandboarding

Whether you already consider snowboarding passe or simply can't wait till winter to carve up the slopes, try strapping on your board and tackling a mountain of sand. Sandboarding is a four-season extreme sport that's recently gained in popularity with snowboarders looking for a similar rush and surreal, desert landscapes. Sure, you could try surfing the dunes at your local beach, but for the real deal, head to Cerro Blanco near the Andes mountain range in Peru to find the world's tallest sand dune. Peru Adventure Tours runs 8-hour outings (leaving at 5am) that include board and lunch.

Low-Adrenaline Alternative: If carving up the sand isn't your thing, explore via dune buggy in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area instead.
