Quad biking
The world of no traffic officers, no speed limits and no traffic truly exists when you’re out quad biking.
Quad biking in South Africa is anything but monotonous we have great valleys, rivers; wild life trails even urban jungles that one may explore.
Driving a quad bike is so easy anyone can do it, so do not worry about the driving lessons, it is wise though to take safety precautions and wear a helmet, in case you go a bit too fast and you are suddenly thrown off by a pot hole or you hit a tree.
Sometimes all you want is to get into your car and drive around town for a bit just to recollect your thoughts, with quad biking you are able to do so, you are also a lot closer to the environment meaning you are more likely to interact with the natural elements of your surroundings plus you feel the suns heat on your legs, the force applied by your hand to accelerate the bike and the roaring sounds made as you go along.
No matter your reason for escape you always have a companion to explore the beautiful environment with, quad biking.

South African beaches play host to the thrill induced sport of sand boarding, although it may not be every ones idea of fun it is definitely something worth trying once in a lifetime.

Sand boarding is very similar in technique to snowboarding as you stand with both feet locked onto a thin tensile board going down a dune and doing tricks in the process.

Just like when you were younger, learning to ride a bike with no trailer wheels on you are going to fall a few times the difference is this time you will have sand in you shorts, mouth and hair plus the scenery will look a lot more beautiful, the weather will be just perfect plus all your friends and/or family will be flying face-first into the sand just like you.

Much like most extreme sports sand boarding will one day be a prestigious sporting event that’s if sponsors, athletes and a market for the sport emerge the possibilities are limitless as far as sand boarding goes, with that said anyone can learn how to sand board, most places that offer sand surfing also come with guides that will show you how to slide down and which dunes to make use of generally looking out for your safety and making sure you have a fun experience with the event. In the north they may have the snow but we have the sand which is way better as it lasts all year round, we don’t have put on all our clothes at once and truth be told we know how to party better than anyone…

there’s nothing like a braai after a day filled with sand boarding.
