Electric Skateboarding on the beach is fun but if not carful this can damage your board. However, beach riding is very different from riding on hard surfaces and has its own special considerations. This article will give you a detailed introduction to what you need to pay attention to when riding an electric skateboard on the beach.

- Understand the characteristics of the beach
The beach is composed of fine sand grains. Unlike the grip of hard ground, the soft nature of the beach makes it easy for electric skateboards to sink into the sand during driving, causing the speed to slow down or lose control. Therefore, when riding on the beach, you should fully understand the characteristics of the beach and control your speed.
- Choose the right electric skateboard
Beach riding has higher requirements for electric skateboards. It is recommended to choose a skateboard with light weight, large wheels and moderate motor power. Such a skateboard can better cope with the resistance of sand grains and maintain stability when driving on the beach. In addition, pay attention to the cruising range of the skateboard to ensure that it can continue to drive on the beach.

- Wear appropriate equipment
Dressing is also very important when riding on the beach. It is recommended to wear loose, comfortable sportswear and non-slip shoes. Non-slip soles can grip the sand better and prevent falls. In addition, wearing sunglasses, hats and other sun protection products is also essential.

- Maintain a stable speed
When riding on the beach, you should maintain a stable speed and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. Sudden acceleration increases the risk of sinking into the sand, while sharp deceleration can result in loss of control of the board. Therefore, maintaining a consistent speed is key to beach riding.

- Avoid wet sand and obstacles
Wet sand and obstacles are two major hazards of beach riding. Wet sand has poor grip and can easily cause the skateboard to lose control; obstacles such as shells and branches may cause damage to the electric skateboard. Therefore, when choosing a cycling route, try to avoid wet sand and obstacles.

- Pay attention to the surrounding environment
The environment on the beach is varied, sometimes windy, sometimes crowded. During riding, you should always observe the surrounding environment to ensure safety. In case of strong winds or crowd gathering, you should slow down or find a safe area to park.

- The best time to ride on the beach
the best time would be to ride is as the tide is low and going out so you have the most hard sand possible. Always check the sand is hard before riding on the beach and never go to close to the water as you never know when an unexpected wave could come and damage your board. You also don’t want to ride on the soft sand as most boards even with 4 motors struggle and it uses a lot more battery power so decreases the range duration a lot.
- Which e skateboard is more suitable for riding on the beach?
The best boards and scooters for the beach are ones with dual wheel or for skateboards ideally four wheel drive and with big tyres ideally 10 inches or bigger but boards and scooters with wheels as little as 6 inches can be ridden on the beach in ideal conditions.
