I am going to a beach in a couple weeks, and wanted to bring my school's pole along. I would bring it for drills and stuff in the sand and on the dunes. Is it safe for my pole to expose it to that much sand? I don't want it to get worn down badly or get sand stuck inside or anything from the sand and wind.
I just want to be safe with it since it isn't mine. Thanks!

The pole will be perfectly safe in the wind.

Re: Poles and sand
Go to YouTube and search for "pole vault OPA team pyla" and you will find your answer. Your poles should be getting planted in sand on a regular basis anyway (at the end of the long jump runway). Have fun!
May the Force be with you!
