Sandboarding: The Gear
by Ted Stedman
dakine pack
Dakine Heli Pack ($60):
Gearing up for a sandboarding session is like preparing for a day on the slopes and a day at the beach—the best of both worlds blended into one. But forget the clunky stuff, because we're talking about the sanctum of the sands, where a degree of asceticism is de rigueur. With the Dakine Heli Pack, made of tough 600-denier ripstop fabric, you've got enough carrying capacity for the essentials—and then some. Start with the vertical and diagonal board carrying design that frees up your hands for necessities. Inside, the Heli has 660 cubic inches of cargo space to stash a change of clothes, eats, camera, and sun cream. Of course this slim-line pack's compatible for the ubiquitous hydration reservoir, with sleeve and drink tube port at the ready. A zippered tool pouch, exterior carry-on options, top luggage-style haul handle ... all you need for your day in the sand and sun. Contact 800-827-7466; www.dakine.com.
