Top 10 Sandboarding Countries of 2022

Well, after another unpredictable year for not just travel but for Sandboarding as a whole. This years' list will be just as condensed as the last I'm afraid. It goes without saying that travel has resumed compared to this time last year, but that doesn't mean that a lot of events and trips has been cancelled. As the same as last year I will be comparing countries in terms of the following: Crime rate, Cost of Living, Internet Speed, Quality of Life, Pollution Index, and Healthcare Index. Here are the Top 10 countries for Sandboarding, for this year...

Except, there is a twist; the celebrate a good run in operating the blog, the list this year was chosen by you, the readers; for the very first time! The votes were tallied and compiled into a list for the best Sandboarding countries, we have a good few new entries and a mixed bag of results!
