: I've heard of people downhilling in whitewater kayaks -- both on snow and
: down sand dunes...

I wonder how many trips down a sand dune before you breech the hull and start grinding your bee-hind off.

Actually, I'd like to know how they climb out and back up to the top of those dunes lugging a boat along. You'd get less trips down the slopes than with a $200 ski-lift ticket at Sierra Summit around here.
