I still take my standard indoor 4-step approach, but your 1st two steps aren't used for momentum... but rather to align your last two steps. The key is to make sure your last two steps are straight towards the ball because any side stepping will cause your foot to cut into the sand and take away from your hops. You want to make sure your center of gravity is on the balls of your feet when jumping and not the sides of your foot when trying to stabilize to jump.
