5 places to go sandboarding

Love the thrill of downhill sports? Lose your woolly socks and thermal fleece and get ready for sandboarding鈥攁rguably the coolest new way to have fun on a beach or desert getaway. Kids have long been sledding down sand dunes on pieces of cardboard and plastic snow sleds.聽 But in recent years, surfers and out-of-season snowboarders have taken it to the next level with sandboarding鈥攔iding down dunes on boards and sleds made out of a slicker material that glides on sand. Want to try sandboarding or sand sledding on your next getaway? A waxed snowboard or snow saucer will probably do. If your kids are up for serious careening, then you鈥檒l want to rent boards and sleds made specifically for sand. While this emerging sport is a natural fit for beach destinations, some of the best places to try sandboarding and sand sledding may surprise you. (Michigan and Colorado? Who knew?) Here are five of the best dune destinations in the United States:

Best airlines for bringing sports gear

You may be headed to the best biking trails, ski runs, surf breaks or golf courses in the world, but if your trip starts off with a gauntlet of extra fees and restrictions at the airport, your vacation buzz will be killed before you even hit the fresh air. It may not sound glamorous, but picking the right airline is a key part of making your trip a good one. Not all airlines, it turns out, are created equal鈥攅specially for active and outdoors sports travelers. Sure, everyone鈥檚 bummed if their bag gets lost or a bit beat up in transit. But what about a brand new, $2,000 kayak? Or your custom skis? Or your trusty touring bike? If the very item you planned your whole trip around goes missing, it鈥檚 a heckuva lot worse than a business traveler going a day without an extra suit and tie. Mishandled baggage is probably the biggest concern for active travelers, but it鈥檚 worth taking a closer look at other airline policies, too. United Airlines may offer the cheapest fare from A to B, but by the time you pay $125 extra each way to check your bag and bike鈥攁nd shell out another $15 on sustenance at the airport, since United provides no free snacks en route鈥攊t may be a smarter option to pay for the pricier ticket with, say, JetBlue. And, of course, you'll have to pay careful attention to your particular sport. Most airlines, for example, will allow you to bring a surfboard for a reasonable fee ($50-75), but Qantas allows you to bring one free, as long as it's no longer than nine feet. US Airways, on the other hand, charges $200 each way. The same variations tend to apply to鈥攊n order from least restrictive to most鈥攕kis and snowboards, fishing poles, bicycles and, finally, canoes and kayaks (several airlines prohibit them altogether). In our quest to suss out the best airlines for carrying your prized gear, we looked at baggage policies鈥攊ncluding fees and prohibited items鈥攎ishandled baggage rates and, of course, destination offerings. It's great to have great baggage policies and no fees, but if it means you can't get where you're going, then you're out of luck. We also perused forums where disgruntled passengers report their busted gear, where we discovered horror stories of ruined $700 skis and $3,000 carbon bike frames somehow snapped like twigs, and even found people who'd gone so far as to start Facebook protest pages. Delta, United and US Airways were the most common culprits, but that's partially a product of the millions of customers they serve. Either way, we dug deep to help guide you. Here, we take a look at airline policies with outdoors sports and adventure traveler in mind. Study it. It could save you cash鈥攁nd your gear鈥攐n your next big travel adventure.
