Well I've seen a guy booking across some really slimy muddy sand on his kitesurf board, looked to have good speed and be holding an edge. I think he
was too lazy to walk back through the slop at low tide.

If you're powered enough, you could ski on asphalt. :o Of course, you could only do it once per pair of skis  and falling would be rough :sniff:

You can have mine if you want, except I'm in Australia.

i tried snowboarding on the sand in california, it almost worked, the sand is quite fine there....
Yeah, keeping your edge is the main problem!!
Good fun trying though 
You need quite a lotta wind as well
