On Treasure Island’s shoreline the SandRider Amphibious Beach Wheelchair translates otherwise difficult sand and surf into navigable terrain. Built with giant inflatable tires and durable construction, this premium chair is meant to be pushed across beaches and even launched into shallow water, then taken apart for storage or transport.

THE GEAR

Amphibious SandRider with Giant Inflatable Tires

The SandRider is a purpose‑built amphibious wheelchair: its oversized inflatable tires and robust construction make it possible to move over loose sand and to enter shallow water for a shoreline experience unlike a standard chair.

THE EXPERIENCE

Effortless Beach and Shoreline Access

Because the chair is designed specifically for sand and water, users and assistants can navigate beach terrain that would be difficult with conventional wheelchairs, creating a different, more open way to engage the seaside.

THE PRACTICALITY

Portable, Durable, and Storable

The SandRider breaks down into sections for transport and storage, letting renters take the chair to and from Treasure Island without specialized equipment and store it compactly when not in use.

What it actually feels like
