Land boards equipped with all-terrain tires can be used on multiple ground types such as sand, grass, asphalt, and dirt.
Most land boards require a minimum of a 5 mph wind speed in order to be propelled.
Wind speed requirements may vary depending on what ground type is being traversed.
Advanced land windsurfing riders are able to perform technical freestyle tricks similarly seen in other extreme sports[citation needed] such as windsurfing, skateboarding and snowboarding.
Land windsurfing marathons have been undertaken across the Sahara in 1979 by Arnaud de Rosnay and Nullarbor Plain in 1985 by Gavin Le Sueur.
