What an excellent experience! I was headed to Gear Sand Dunes for the first time and always saw people try these sandboards out there! I searched Google and this place had great reviews. Amy (90%sure that's her name) owns the business and has a true passion for the sport. There's plenty of styles of sandboards to try, with all types of widths and shapes. They have a great variety of sand sleds too for an easy ride! I'd recommend renting one of each if you're new to the dunes. That way, you can have some fun and relax on the sled too. It's only $20 each per day, no matter what you want! They give you wax, and definitely remember to take it on the dunes! Unlike skiing or boarding, the sand wears the surface so much that you need new wax every five rides. Otherwise, it's so slow you'll walk back to the car to get it and have fun again. The shop has a small gift shop and a great location along the main drag in Blanca. Go out and have fun! The dunes are at perfect temperature this month, and before the summer heat.

100/10 recommend using SpinDrift rentals over any other in the area! The owner Amy was SO kind, she even braided my hair for me! She also allowed us to drop off the boards after-hours for no extra charge. What a great way to enjoy the Sand Dunes. Thanks for the great time Amy!

Thank you so much Krystal for making our time on the sand dunes amazing! Despite getting sand in EVERY area of our body, we probably had the greatest time of our entire trip. Your sand boarding techniques really paid off seeing that you got our parents to absolutely shred in the slopes! Your welcoming presence and graceful attitude was the cherry on top of a delightful experience. We would recommend you to anyone!

We had a really great experience renting at Spindrift! The owner gave us a quick tutorial on how to use the boards, which was super nice!

Super friendly service! We had an awesome time with the sleds we rented, and pick up and drop off were quick and easy.

“We had a great experience at the Great Sand Dunes mainly because we rented sand boards from Amy at SpinDrift.”

Our hotel front desk recommended Kristi Mountain Sports for sand sled and board rentals. It was so…read moreconvenient. They had a location close to the hotel and easy drop off right in our lobby (literally so easy). The staff at Kristi's was so friendly and our daughter especially loved Shadow (the sweetest black lab mix). You can't beat the ROI on the rental price to fun ratio. This allowed us to have one of the coolest experiences ever with our 3 year old daughter. I highly recommend renting a sled and trying it yourself and with your kids. She just rode with one of us. We personally had way more fun with the sled and would rent 2 sleds and skip the board if we were to do it again.

These guys were awesome!…read more I called ahead to make sure they were open in the offseason. Closed two days in the middle of the week but the timing worked out for me. First off, the store is massive and has just about everything a Coloradan would ever need for outdoor festivities. The mission: rent a sandboard for Great Sand Dunes National Park. Consider the mission accomplished! I spoke with three different people over my two visits (one to rent, and the other to return) and they were just so damn friendly. Knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging for a first time sand boarder like myself. You can rent sand boards or sleds for $20 a day. Totally worth it, especially if you're staying in Alamosa. Other places offer rentals (many not near the park and many not open during winter). Kristi Mountains Sports earned their 5-star rating just by being good people. Thanks again for your help!!!

What a great store. What a great owner…read more What great staff. A group of us were camping in Colorado, and to my relief and delight, Fox Creek Co. was a mere 2 miles from our camps. Food. Gear. Snacks. Fishing licenses. Cool swag. What's not to love? We mainly needed ice. Like every day. Driving 45 minutes to Alamosa was NOT going to happen, PLUS we were really liking the Fox Creek Store. A few stand outs (for me) were the Fiah Stickers. Minnesota girl here so am always delighted to see a cool fish. ;) ICE. Sodas. Camping and fishing supplies. Facial tissues (for the New Area Allergies.) Grab an Amish Pie (or two. or 3. Can't remember if I ate 4 or 6?) A light and absolutely delicious pastry filled with fruit. I had Strawberry - rhubarb. I also had to get a big homemade apple cinnamon tear away bread. Yes... it had a nice drizzle of frosting. It was a great addition to breakfast and made a great snack. I think what really stood out for me though was The People. Steven, the owner, was often on-site and insisted on carrying the ice to the car. Nice guy. I mean, REALLY NICE GUY. And his family work the cash register and counter. I could go on and on about things I loved about the store but the bottom line is simple: nice people. Convenient. FAIR competition pricing. Thoughtful inventory. Propane. A dump station. And licenses. I will actually miss theu daily trip to Fox Creek now that I'm back in Arizona. Oh!!! You not only will be supporting a local small business, but local, independent artisans. One guy makes the flies. A woman makes beautiful jewelry. If you wander around, you'll see handmade boot cleaners, quality knives, and so much more. Not just 5 stars. 5 shooting stars for welcoming visitors, while providing friendly, topnotch customer service.

Fox Creek Store - Nice one, eh? My dad was a fisherman.  How I wish I could send him a few.  These touched my heart a little.
