Default Sand tyre/Suspension setings

I figured generaly in the sand a softer suspension and tyre setting is needed. although i am running my stock tyres, so what pressure would be best?
Also suspension settings and what preload, rebound and compression adjustments?

i don't know what to do with the suspension settings, i jus run what feels good. if the dunes r chewed up (like the almost always r at pismo) then i run softer. for tire pressure i run about 2-3 pounds in my paddles. they hook up best with no pressure, but then i can't turn. i'd run maybe a pound below stock. jus be carreful not to break a bead.

Yeah sand can be weird, soft in one area but hardpacked the next. One second your doing a sick powerslide then your flipping end over end. Sand can be Smooth and next all chewed so i suppose it makes sence just try what feels good. I suppose same goes for tyre pressure although i'll try around 3-4psi but it'll most likely would work best like you said.

How low is to low as far as tyre pressure goes before the tyre dislodges from the rim and the bread breaks? Thanks
