SANDBLAST IS THE ULTIMATE SAND SCULPTURE COMPETITION!

So many of us feel so alive at the beach, whether it’s walking the white sands, swimming in the warm waters, sunbathing and listening to the surf, or building sand sculptures for hours  – or most likely all of the above!

Most of us get pretty competitive with our chosen sculpture – running back and forth to the lapping water with our buckets trying to build something everyone will gasp in awe at! Well SandBlast is like a trip to the beach on steroids!
