VOLCANO BOARDING
Leon, Nicaragua
This extremely thrilling volcano boarding activity was invented on the volcano Cerra Negro.
The BigFoot Hostel in Leon, Nicaragua offers a cool day that you won't ever forget. We all pile into the back of a large truck for the ride to the volcano. Once there we climb the back side of the volcano with our boards. The hike took about 45 minutes and it was a bit windy but well worth the effort. The view from the top is stunning. After everyone is back down the hostel gives you a congratulations beer and cookie for the ride back.

Half way up
You can see for miles from the top.
Awesome bright orange suits and googles are needed for the
ride down to help protect your body if you crash.
You adjust your speed by how hard you dig your feet in and how far back you lean.
The guide takes your picture on the way down and another tracks your
speed with a radar gun. Fastest person gets a t-shirt.
