Dry Lake Beds are extremely popular locations for various recreational activities.
El Mirage Dry Lake Bed is a regular spot for landsailing.

Even at very low winds, racing yachts ride at up to three times the wind speed, reaching easily 70 km/h. Due to the lightweight and aerodynamic build, racing yachts boost to top speed in about 5 seconds.
