Joining SnowKidz in 2014, Intersands is the International Sandboarding and SandSki Association. Operating primarily in Peru, Intersands has prepared an excellent SnowKidz event combining creativity and fun. SnowKidz took the chance to speak with Martin Guerra Heredia, Intersands Secretary General:

You have staged a World Snow Day event in January. How did the event go?
We celebrated World Snow Day with all students in the school of Peruvian Club SandSnow. It was a great success. The event was held in Huacachina - Ica (Peru), inviting the students, friends, parents, riders and tourists who frequent the area.

You conduct your events in Peru where you use sand instead of snow. How important are sand sports to the people and children of Peru?
We run 80% of the sand dunes in Peru and can safely say sand sports are important to the people of Peru. As sport becomes more and more a lifestyle, kids are noticing what the adults are doing. It is therefore important we provide opportunities for both adults and children at the same time.

In the future where would like to see your SnowKidz events going?
Wherever there is a sand dune with children to give them the opportunity for entertainment for their lives, as well as for athletes.
