Sand Master Park

I love this place! We have been to Sand Master Park several times and it is always awesome. The staff is very helpful and quick to give pointers but I recommend taking a lesson as it helped us advance fast. Instructors are champion riders so give great advice and help. Buggy tour was quite a thrill too. Even when very busy the staff is smiling and working hard to get everyone set up with boards and out to have fun ASAP. I highly recommend a visit to Sand Master Park. Fun for the whole family.

Nicest service I have ever experienced. The line was so long but they tried to reach us asap. The lady at the front desk even gave us some discount and gave her board for us because they were running out of boards. We were tired after all but definitely had so much fun.

Went on a trip with friends and stopped by here to rent some boards. The owner was very kind and helpful. Gave us a discount on our boards and helped us with whatever questions we had. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for cheap rentals and great customer service.

We had so much fun with our rented sandboards! The staff was friendly and helpful and answered all our questions. We had hours of fun!

So much for for the whole family!!! The guys in shop were nice and gave us great instructions and recommendations. Try it, you’ll love it.

When you pull up to the sandmaster park store in florence, you won’t see a lot of cars. This store is where you get your board and learn about sandboarding, and then you drive 2 min back down the road to the sand dunes, which is why you won’t see a lot of cars. This freaked me out a bit thinking no one else was trying it, but trust me, you MUST try this!
After getting a brief lesson, we found the pointers easy to follow and were riding down the sand dunes in no time. It took some getting used to, and learning how to best control the board, but was lots of fun! And a lot of work to climb back up, such a work out!
The sand dunes themselves are amazing. Such a big area so we could only see a few people, very spread out. No one is on top of each other, lots of space. And I felt better no one could see me fall down. :) The dunes are beautiful!

Great Staff, very helpful and friendly.
Rent Sandboards here for $ 16/​day. You can go to the dunes right out back of the office or you can go down to a few spots off the highway at state parks I guess. They have a neat collection of sand, but its only sand from actual dunes they have been too or ridden on. Check this place out while visiting Florence.

Super, super good times! My 10 year old and 13 year old and I rented sandboards today from Sand Master Park AND we dune bugg-​yed. It was great and we’d recommend to anyone passing thru Florence. We got warmed up on our sandboards right behind the park, but then ventured on to the Honeyman state park for some longer, steeper hills. Lon was great and gave us the basics before we took off. Showed us stance and how to wax our boards, common pitfalls, etc. so we were set up nicely. Got to keep our boards for 24 hours.
Andy, our dune buggy Sherpa was awesome too! He told us the history of the Oregon dunes in addition to us flying and drifting all over the place. Felt totally safe and in good hands. So fun!
Got lucky with a beautiful day today. Sunny, but breezy. If you dunebuggy, bring a hoodie — it gets a little colder and the sand blasts your skin a bit. But all good!
Loved it. We’ll be back next time we’re in town to visit the G’ma!

If you want to try something cool, doesn’t cost a lot and have all day fun? You have to try sandboarding when you’re in Florence. The staff at Sand Master Park is excellent and very helpful in getting you started. Just drive down to Honeyman Park and enjoy! Anyone who snowboard from Vancouver BC must go!

We are not avid sand boarders but tried it a few times. The kids wanted to try sand boarding. But it turned out to be just a sand board rental place. The staff was very friendly and efficient. They directed us to the dunes behind Fred Meyers; the dunes were average there. Despite the frequent waxing, the boards didn’t always slide down the dunes easily. But they let you use the boards at any dune park.

We just wanted to pick up some boards for the kids for a few hours before we left town. I was hesitant to get boards since the kids have never even snowboarded or much of skateboarding. We ended up getting sand sleds which were like broader boards that you sit on. They have handles to hold on to. The guy at the store helped us pick the board and directed us to go to Honeyman State Park at Clearwox Lake. If you take a left when you get into the park you can drive straight up to the dunes. The guy even ran out of the store into the parking lot to make sure we understood the boarding would be slow going in the morning but would get better as the sand warmed up. Great service, decent price, my kids said it was their favorite part of our trip.

We knew nothing about dune boarding or any other kind of boarding when we walked in here, but that turned out to be no problem. Matt walked us through the basics, rented us a board for $ 16 and showed us the best spots. Although we didn’t really master the sport in the few hours available to us, it wasn’t due to lack of equipment, encouragement or information.
There are sand dunes right behind the business, and those were plenty big enough for us. If we were to go back, we’d probably head south and explore more, and that’d be easy with the 24-​hour rental and mellow return methods.
These guys are doing it right and will make your experience better.

The whole reason we decided to spend a couple days in Florence, Oregon as part of our summer vacation was so Chris could sandboard. We drove hundreds of miles so he could shred a sand dune and, boy, did he ever.
The folks at Sand Master could not have been nicer about getting Chris all set up with a board ($ 16 for 24 hours — now where can you get a deal like that?) and explaining the difference between snowboarding and sandboarding. Apparently, experienced snowboarders think they’ve got it all figured out but it really is different and worth a listen if someone’s explaining it to you. Of course, Chris listened like a good student, and he rocked it when he hit the dunes.
We started out on the smaller dunes right behind Sand Master and then moved on to Honeyman Park on the recommendation of the rental dude. Honeyman deserves its own review but suffice it to say that that’s where Chris really got some speed.
Even after a post-​boarding hike, we managed to return the board by closing time (6:30 pm) and had a nice chat with owners. Here’s to a family business that doesn’t try to exploit tourists and just offers good clean fun.

We rented a sandboard from Sand Master Park for my 11yo son, who has enjoyed snowboarding and skateboarding and wanted to try a new medium (sand). We rented a sandboard for $ 16 (for a 24 hour period), and were told the best boarding was to be found further south in the Oregon Dunes National Monument. Unfortunately, we had only an hour before we had to continue heading south (we were on a family vacation touring Oregon coast), so we contented ourselves by heading out on the dunes behind the Fred Meyer about a quarter mile south of Sand Master Park.
We had been expecting that there would be a Sand Master Park right there where we rented the board. There may be a park there, but we were not told about it. They offer individual and group instruction on sandboarding, but due to our short time available, we did not try this. When we returned the board around noon.
