A New Kind of Surfing

When I first heard about sand surfing in St. Augustine, I was intrigued. As someone who has spent years chasing waves across Central America, the idea of surfing on sand was a novel concept. I had to see what this was all about. So, I packed my bags and headed to Butler Beach, ready to experience this unique adventure.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by Dylan, our instructor, and his adorable little assistant. Their warm smiles and laid-back demeanor immediately put me at ease. Dylan’s professionalism was evident as he patiently explained the ins and outs of the electric sand surfboards. These boards, with their wide, treaded tires, were designed to glide effortlessly over the sandy terrain. I was eager to get started.

Riding the Sandy Waves

As I hopped onto the electric skateboard, I felt a familiar rush of excitement. The powerful electric motor hummed to life, and I was off, carving through the sand with a mix of determination and pure joy. The sensation was unlike anything I had experienced before. It was a thrilling blend of surfing and skateboarding, with the added challenge of navigating the shifting sands.

Dylan and his assistant were incredibly patient, offering tips and encouragement as I found my balance. Once I got the hang of it, I was unstoppable, gliding along the beach with the sun on my face and the ocean breeze in my hair. It was a liberating experience, one that reminded me of why I fell in love with surfing in the first place.

A Unique St. Augustine Experience

The beauty of Butler Beach provided the perfect backdrop for this adventure. The combination of the scenic coastline and the historical significance of St. Augustine made the experience all the more memorable. As I rode along the beach, I couldn’t help but appreciate the unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness that this area has to offer.

Reflecting on the day, I realized that sand surfing was more than just a fun activity; it was a new way to connect with the beach and the ocean. It offered a fresh perspective on a familiar landscape, and I was grateful for the opportunity to experience it. If you find yourself in St. Augustine, I highly recommend giving sand surfing a try. It’s an adventure you won’t soon forget.
