The dunes are on the windward side and tend to pull sand from the beach and into the land. The sandboarders tend to push the sand back down. This activity only happens on bare sand(the movement is so large that plants don't get much chance to grow before the dunes move over them. The citizens of Oregon are very sensitive to their environment and work hard to maintain/ improve the natural side. Most of the coast is public land and is being maintained in a very sustainable fashion. On Tue, Aug 27, 2019, 12:39 AM Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > Nice.
