N EVADA , 1996 — Lon Beale and a small group of six sand-
boarders scout a spot along the Dumont Dunes. The wind is
blowing so hard that Beale, sandboarding enthusiast and organiz-
er of the event, can’t see his own feet as the group walks through
the sand. In his mind, Beale is already thinking the event is going
to be a disaster. The rented RV, supplies, travel costs could be like
the sand: blowing away.
The next morning, the dunes are dead calm.
Riders make their runs, record their times and scores, complet-
ing the first ever Sand Master Jam.
F LORENCE , O RE ., 2016 — Sandboarders from around the world
have already started arriving for this year’s Sand Master Jam,
now the longest-running sandboarding competition in the world,

“I think people have come to realize that sandboarding isn’t
just a fad,” says Beale, who opened Sand Master Park in Florence

and heat while pedaling more than
4,000 miles in the fight against cancer.

development training, volunteering,
fundraising and cycling, riders are put
to the test throughout their summer
