Can you ride a mountainboard in Wildwood ?

I wonder if that area is ok for Landboard ? or the sand is too soft to ride with a mountainboard

yes...between the tides

SOmetimes- if the wind is blowing right you can board at the tide line like ab said- but must still be aware of the allustrus (sp?) soft spots. I am usually able to at least ride some on a board but it is definetly better for a bug, unless the wind gods smile upon us.

That is very subdued for you bro....

WELDNGOD .... you try to jump over that pile of sand ? or just hoped you will force thru ?

.... At low tide you have plenty of hard solid surface to ride on , and with on shore winds you can ride most of day ... Area near base camp usually gets lots of hight buggy traffic , so by Friday most sand is pack down and usually rideable with Landboard

I was gonna jump it.... But, I hit really soft sand and the board said no....

Absolutely! My son won't get in a buggy, but loves being on a board there. (Unfortunately, he won't be there this trip :no: )

Thank you looks good ,
WELDNGOD you get stuck in the pile of sand hahahaha

I didn't even make it to the pile. About 2 ft away the sand turned to quicksand. I had to jump out of the bindings. LOL

Watch this video. https://vimeo.com/41257031 . Just before 1 minute you will see Wildwood boarding the way I saw it.

I guess I am spoiled by the hard pack at Sunset but when I visited WBB I was THRILLED that I could borrow a buggy and enjoy that beach with the " appropriate " ride. That beach is huge with larger tires. Restricted to a narrow strip and low tides with small wheels.

At my age the soft sand and low winds made riding on small wheels seem a bit like work. :embarrased:

But it was 18m Phanny HEAVEN in a little buggy ! :cool:

I will ride with the ATB but if somebody has a buggy to sell there or borrow I can buy it on the spot
