Skateboard, sand, man - When you spend time at the beach, the sand just becomes a part of your being. A little grit as you shake the dust off, the sand gets into your trunks, your gear, your hair, and everywhere. For those of who live near the beach, it makes the most sense to get tile floors or travertine in your house because of the sand that you carry with you from the beach.

Sand does no favors to skateboards either. The grit can get in your trucks, or you can spill out on the slippery beach paths.  But getting around sure becomes a breeze during those million-attendance days when the weather is hot and there's no room to park, much less move on the beach.  Several companies have attempted to sell a skateboard rack product for beach destinations, much like the ski locks at ski slopes but we've not seen the beaches of California adopt this product yet. So you mostly have to hang onto your board when hit the sand...and keep your eye on it, plus things...like sunbathing, surfing and waves.
