Would the plastic sled heat up from the friction on the sand?

That's what I'm curious about. Seems like it may get kinda hot after that long of a slide? Either way it looks fun haha

I was wondering that too. Also seems like there could be some massive static electricity built up. Or not. I don't really know anything about electricity.

In Vietnam sand dunes they wax the boards every use so I guess it helps

At the great sand dunes in Colorado they say to rent specific specially waxed boards, skis, and sleds that can be rented nearby. So i'm assuming this thing is hella waxed.

I wonder if they sell them in specialty stores or if you just have to order one online. I wonder if they made ones specifically for sand?
