Sandboard Magazine is a great resource for this question.  According to the site, a snowboard's design is about the same as a sandboard- the biggest differences are the base material of the board and the wax used.  According to the site, though, there are some places that using a snowboard (stripped free of snow wax) will get nearly the same results as a sandboard.  Other than these 2 differences they are essentially the same.

If you honestly can't tell the difference between boards I would go for one of those plastic boards that you can strap onto your sorels. They are about $15 at the hardware store.\n\nThis is not the time of year to be getting good cheap new gear, but try a local ski swap and try to find some used boots/bindings. Then at the end of the season get a pair of new boots 40% off. I really like burton boots/bindings. I just got a Rome deck and I'm loving it.\n\nPalmer sucks. I hope Sean Palmer burns in hell for making crappy decks.

skate board or surf board??? if surf board... its all in the horizontal lights.  with high powered lights coming in from the sides, you can see every ridge, scrape or rough area.  Then you can sand it out to be perfect before you put the fiberglass on. It is a huge commitment.  you are better off buying one because all the materials that you will need will be very expensive, unless you are planning on making a bunch and breaking into the market of surf boards.  \n\nhope that helps

Its cartoons. They can do whatever they like.\n\nBut seriously, the seabed is one big bed of sand. The only difference between a seabed and the beach are the presence of waves. Otherwise, they're almost the same thing.

Iron and water.  Just wash the sand off the iron.

Sand is mostly silicon and can be made into glass.\n\nAbuses?  Well, I suppose you could kick sand in somebody's face.

Although snow is made of ice, their coefficients aren't exactly the same because snow is a crystalized form of ice; therefore, snow has a rougher surface. I found a number for a ski board (waxed wood) on snow, which is .14. Plastic is similar to waxed wood, in a sense. I hope this number is more accurate, and good luck on your physics project.

I've been snowboarding for about 5 years now and I've learned some things the hard way.  I've had a bruised tail bone (which most people get their first day out), a dislocated shoulder, a mild concusion, and a broken hand.  I did all of this on different jumps.  Basically learn to jump on a small jump and increase your speed and the size of the jumps you're hitting as you get more comfortable.\n\nWhen you start snowboarding be mentally prepared for a challenge.  It usually takes at least a full day to catch on (and often times a few days).  You want to practice staying on the edge of your board and turning to stop.  Once you can go a short distance and stop, practice edging down on your toe side and then transfering your weight to your heals (making you turn the other direction slightly) and edging on your heals.  Going back and forth smoothly from heal to toe and back is called carving.  That's the first thing you want to learn to do when you start snowboarding.\n\nGood Luck!!!

Snowboarding is an expensive sport and it is very rare to find a place which offers such an intense course. It is best to get private intuition as group sessions can only progress at the slowest students level, but perserverance is very rewarding. Here is a site that gives you information on starting Snowboarding.\nhttp://www.doctordanger.com/other/Snowboarding2.html\n\nHere is a site where you can find a snowboarding school in the UK.\nhttp://www.snowlife.org.uk/directory/default.asp?searchsect=skiboard_schools

ride snowboards have a great Freestyle (park) boards with a lot of wide options. I am 6', 170 and size 12, i have a 159 santa cruz board (regular),  a 154 ride (reg) and a 131 nidecker (reg) for park. i tried a wide board once and hated it. i couldn't cut and carve as quick as i could with a reg board. I adjusted my bindings perfectly so i have zero toe or heel drag. they also make "risers" it lifts the binding a bit so you get no toe drag. My favorite setup i have for just freeriding is '06 santa cruz 'duo freedom' board, '06 ride SPI bindings, and '06 ride 'amp' boots\n\nLong time boarder...snowboard instructor at california resort

Surfing seems really cool. Is it a lot like snowboarding, if you know? I heard that it's really hard because when you push against the water you just fall, so you have to have wicked balance.\n\nI just like surfing & sports in general. Been wanting to try it for a while.

How To Snowboard\n\nYou’re standing at the edge of the slope.  You look down at the endless road of snow and a sense of concern overwhelms you.  Freezing and fearful, you wish you had taken a lesson.  It is essential to learn the basics of snowboarding, before attempting to master the sport.\nFirst, you must decide of the time of day.  An early start is recommended since it gets very crowded.  Most lifts open at nine o’clock.  Also, consider the weather condition.  Check weather forecasts before arrival.  Wear many removable layers of clothing, and always be sure the outermost layer is 100% waterproof.  Also, always wear goggles.  Visibility and eye protection is very important.\nSecond, before hopping on the lift, you should become familiar with the parts of the snowboard.  Always wear the right size boots, and make sure they support on your ankles.  Wearing boots that are too tight can leave you with sore ankles or chin splints.  After choosing the perfect boot, consider your choice of binding.  The bindings are what clip your boots to the board.  There are two different types of bindings.  The clipping binding has a calf support in the back, and has two clips that snap around your boot.  This type of binding is the safest.  The other type of binding, the step-in, is made to just step directly on the board.  This one has no safely clip or back support.  It is less of a hassle, but most people do not feel as safe in them.  I suggest the clipping binding, because I feel the extra support on my calves gives me more control.  Once you have decided on the binding, choose your board.  Snowboards are made customized.  They vary in length and \n\nweight depending on the size and height of the rider.  The snowboard is measured in inches.  Children ride between a 38”-43”.  Women usually ride between 45”-53.  For men, the sizes can run from 55”-65”.  \nAfter choosing all the proper equipment, it is now time to approach the lift.  The lift assistant will line you into the path of the chair.  Lean back as you feel the chair picking you up.  Grasp the handlebars of the chair as it lifts you.  Failure to do this will cause you to fall off and you could get ran over by the chair  (This knowledge comes from a very humiliating personal experience).  The ride on the lift takes about five to ten minutes, but this depends on which run you choose.  As you approach the end of the lift, it is advised to signal the assistant to slow the lift down.  Most beginners find the lift runs too fast to exit safely.  Sit on the edge of the chair and ski off to the start of the run.\nOkay, now that you’re safely off the lift, and strapped in, let’s go!  The key is to stay parallel with the hill.  Keep you knees soft and slightly bent.  This will enable you to turn.  Since the hill can be very steep, it is important to have control to slow down and also came to a complete stop.  To do either, take your back foot and pull it forward while digging into the snow.  This will bring you perpendicular with the hill.  Slowing down takes a lot of practice.  Do keep in mind; however, that you will definitely takes a few plunges.  Try not to get discouraged and remember that it is very normal to spend most of the time on your behind than actually skiing.  This brings us to the next step.\nSafety is the most important factor in snowboarding.  Snowboarding can be a very fast and dangerous sport, so knowing snowboard safety is vital.  Basically, the faster you ride, the harder you fall.  It is depending on how you fall that makes all the difference.  If you find yourself loosing control and fall, do not ever catch yourself with your wrists.  It is a natural reaction to catch a fall by bracing yourself with your wrists, but this can cause a lot of damage.  It can possibly lead to sprained or broken wrists.  Furthermore, if you land on your wrists, your elbows are likely to lockout, leaving you with dislocated elbows.  To avoid these painful outcomes, always
