@Rachin Actually, she can't feel the sand since it's not as solid as regular earth. In fact, when Appa was kidnapped, she became more than sulky when the group got stranded in the middle of the desert and had to walk on sand for days until they found that "rock" to "rest" in. Despite what you may think, sandbending is completely unrelated to any of the five main forms of bending. Gaara will probably be flying also.
