Mar 28th, 2005 at 9:20AM: Björn Dunkerbeck is seeking to capture one record he doesn't have: the World Sailing Speed Record. But he's close. Dunkerbeck recently hit 44.35 knots at the Walvis Bay Speed week in Namibia, a millenium best. He remains confident that he can break the 12-year World Sailing Speed Record of 46.52 knots (86.16 km/h).

One comapny running these trips is called Alter-Action. Created by Chris Jason and Beth Sarro in 1994, the company is the first professional sandboarding operation on the Namibian Coast. They say they have found the ...Sand's Up!

You gotta admit this is pretty damn cool. Dune surfing in Namibia. It is done in other places as well, but there is a fine allure to doing this in Africa. The sport, if that's what we're already calling it, is done standing up, or lying on your belly on a kind of boogie board, and one speeds down the sandy slope at speeds of up to 50 mph. This is something I've gotta try! ...
