Sandboard & Ski School — Huacachina, Peru
Learn to Ride.Not Just Slide.
Certified instruction on the dunes of Huacachina — from your first stance to your first sunset run.
Why Sand Storm Riders
Most tours put you on a board. We put you in control.
Sand Storm Riders is a certified sandboarding school — not a buggy tour with a board thrown in. Every session is built around real technique: stance, carve, control.
Typical Tour
- Board handed to you, no instruction
- Sit or lie down the dune

Sand Storm Riders
- Certified instructor, real coaching
- Learn to stand and carve
- Progression built for your level

From flat sand to your first line — in one session.
Safety Briefing

Stance & Balance
Learn the fundamentals on a gentle slope.
Your First Descent
Guided runs with real-time coaching.

Certified Instructor
Trained to teach. Certified to guide.
Certified by Adventure Travel Consulting, backed by APTAE Perú and Intersands Switzerland — Luis passed both the methodological and field exams required to teach beginner and intermediate riders.
This isn't someone who learned to sandboard and started giving tours. It's someone tested, certified, and accountable for how you learn to ride these dunes.
"From your first stance to your first line down the dune — Luis is the one guiding every step."
Professional Gear
Boards built to stand on. Not to slide down on your back.
Professional-grade boards, wax, and safety gear — maintained and checked before every session.
Proof
Riders, not tourists.
