Is the future of surfing in the sand, asks Le Monde? "Dr Dune" Lon Beale (sandboarding in Malibu) thinks so. Saves you from the frustration of bad waves, and the danger of drowning, crashing on the ocean floor, or shark attacks, Beale says. Surf all year long, and reach 60 miles an hour if the conditions are right. Beale also predicts that global warming will lead ski resorts to import sand to make up for increasingly absent snow.
