Snowboard bindings will work with your boots as long as the binding size is small enough. You can usually get the straps tight enough to give you some leverage on the board.

I actually tried this last year and used regular shoes. The only problem I had was that there was too much wax on my snowboard so it just stuck to the sand. So my only advice is to get as much wax off your board as possible before goin. Besides that have a blast!!

It depends on your bindings. Your Van’s are much smaller than a snowboard boot, so the bindings need to be able to get pretty tight in order to hold your foot in place.

Here is a picture of what happens when the binding’s are not tight enough:

But they still work!

Not very well, as they are made for bulky boots. If you are renting a board at a sandboarding place, they will surely have different bindings made for shoes. If not try some dense, foam padding between the straps and your shoes.
