I don&#039;t know how many times I climbed those dunes again to slide down. At first, I tried sitting, but then I went down standing, which was more fun and, surprisingly, easier for me. I definitely fell, rolled, and grabbed some sand, but that&#039;s part of it. Cynthia, Sunny, and Angela got a bit fed up at some point, so they took a long break, but I was just having too much fun, so I kept climbing the dunes, haha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pictures and also two nice
