SUPER-SIZE THIS! |
Two weeks ago, good Ndorfinites, I bombed the legendary SlickRock
Trail in Moab, Utah ... There, I’ve said it, and damned
be the consequences! I know you’re all drooling and cussing
and rabid with envy, and I will totally understand if you wanna whup
my skinny ass the next time we touch base. But I just had
to get that one out of my system ...
The thing that struck me most about the US of A was their whole
super-size me mentality. (My mate Mielie had piled on a few kays
due to this, and insisted on shouting ‘Come
on, you fat bastard!’ at himself on every uphill). The REI stores were
so humongous that I lost my way somewhere near the ‘Endurance
Lingerie’ department, and spent three days surviving on
Cliff Bars before a kind gentleman from security finally escorted
me to the exit.
On the positive side, I was surrounded by familiar brands such
as Columbia and The
North Face, and established a comfortable
Base Camp at the foot of the 3-storey, indoor climbing wall.
On a brand note - the super hip FOX brand will be arriving at
SELECTED DUESOUTH stores on the 12th March! |

PLAY
DATE OF THE MONTH |
According
to my personal adventure consultant, this winter will see a
return to the cuddly physique ... NOT! Just thought
I’d borrow a concept from Borat’s movie there,
but it may be best if we move on to this month’s What’s
On in the weekends ahead. |

totally epic Cape Epic blasts off on a gravel road
near you on 24th. We have Team Ndorfin

log into www.ndorfin.co.za to check out their blog. Crute’s
promised not to howl for his mum before Day Three, and
will post blow-by-blow images of his bottom falling apart
as the race progresses. Sensitive viewers beware! |

AYE
AYE CATION
Yup,
we’re at it again! Our Caption
Competition went
down a treat in 2006, and we’re ready to once again
unleash images of general hilarity upon the adventure community
at large. Best of all, those revered Gear
Gods at Duesouth
have again come to the party, this time with a Fox hamper
including Messenger Bag, Cap, T-shirt and Hoodie to the value
of R1,000.
Yeah baby! All you guys have to do is caption the attached
image, but try and be original. Think Gary
Larson, think
Groucho Marx, think George
Costanza, and once again wow us
with your witticisms. We’re waiting with baited breath,
muchachos.

FACE sleeping bag on the day... Well the lucky sucker is:

HOUSEKEEPING
AT NDORFIN
Okay,
we’re more than 3 months into the
new year, so there’s no point in
trying to sell a 2007 calendar at full price.
Here’s
your chance – email Maureen at calendar2007@ndorfin.co.za and
you can get the one and only Adventure Calendar
2007 for a Thrifty Fifty
bucks. This works out
to less than 5 bucks a month, so get on it.
Moving on. One day we were out in the bush and
arguing about what events were on the next weekend,
and Crute came up with his one bright idea for
the year. NDORFIN on your
cell phone, bru!!!
WAP it, GPRS it, EDGE it, or whatever, but check
out www.ndorfin.co.za/mobile right away. Now
your favourite events calendar is only as far
away as your phone!
Housekeeping stuff … if you guys do come
across any events loaded on the wrong
date or with incorrect information, please email us at
events@ndorfin.co.za. Keeping this web site up
to date is like trying to track the movements
of Playgirl Bunnies in
Hugh Heffner’s bedroom,
but obviously a bit more, ermmm, boring.
