Sand-planing is a combination of winter sledding and summer aqua-planing, with a mid sized board, reinforced with aluminum, dragged behind a jeep at 30 miles per hour. Ropes are tied to an Aluminum board at one end, and to a jeep at the other end. Jeep pulls the aluminum board on which a person stands and sand-planes.
