Sand & Dunes

Class Location: Grover Beach/Oceano Dunes, California

This clinic is designed to gain practical experience driving in sand. The class is entirely behind the wheel.

You will gain new confidence with the capabilities of your vehicle and your skill in dealing with sand.

The class is held at Oceano State Vehicular Recreation Area near Pismo, CA. We use Oceano Dunes when it is too hot in the lower desert! We also offer classes in Borrego Springs, CA, near San Diego, CA. The dunes have quite soft sand compared to a wash. No point wondering later if you and your vehicle can handle really soft sand. We will be able to experiment with tire pressure. We will review safety requirements, driving techniques and vehicle recovery. There is always the possibility that we will need to recover some other vehicle.
