volcano boarding
Otherwise known as Volcano surfing or ash boarding, this sport is practised on the
slopes of a volcano. Surfers usually hike up to the top of the volcano and surf
down either sitting or standing on a board. This sport was invented by an
adventurer journalist. The inventor of the sport classifies volcano surfing into two
types, surfing on active volcanoes, and surfing on inactive volcanoes, the only
difference being that, the lava and gases from an active volcano presents more
challenges and makes the ride more difficult. Volcano surfing is not contested at a
competitive level but is rather practiced only at a recreational level. It is totally
reserved for the high adrenaline adventurers who cannot get enough out of sand
surfing.
Most riders use sand surfing boards with binding and boots. But volcano surfing
can also be done with thin plywood of any other metal board. Riders also wear
goggles and other safety gear as needed.
There's only two places in the world to try volcano boarding – in Nicaragua and
Chile. In parts of South America and Africa, you can also try sand boarding, but
this is nothing like volcano boarding
