FOUNDER’S LETTER

NO

W

Compliments of the season to all our DO IT NOW readers and I hope you enjoyed a very blessed festive season and fantastic New Year!Elri and I spent three incredible weeks in Europe on our first-ever snowboarding holiday over the festive period with some good friends and were fortunate to be spoilt with loads of snow and perfect snowboarding conditions. Take a look at page 30 for my article on Lech, Austria, which is part one of a three-part series about our trip. If you haven’t yet ticked off a trip like this from your bucket list, then I would like to encourage you to do it sooner than later because it was AWESOME. It’s a great feeling to ski on snow and now ranks as one of my personal top 10 things that I like to do.

Congratulations to Nelda Murray (third place - R5 000), Estelle van der Riet (second place - R10 000) and Marie-Leanne Holt (first place - R20 000), the winners of our Subscription competition that ran from October to December 2011. Enjoy spending your money and thanks to everyone who subscribed and entered!

Looking at the many awesome events for this year, the calendar is quickly filling up and promises to be another action-packed year. The DO IT NOW team would like to congratulate Darryl Curtis on doing so well at his first Dakar Rally and we look forward to seeing him compete in future Dakar races. For those taking part in the upcoming Dusi look out for DO IT NOW’s event crew who will be there to support and cheer you on. If you’re a water fanatic then don't miss one of South Africa's biggest and best river festivals, the Blyde Xfest 2012. You are guaranteed loads of white-water fun. The dates for these and many other events can be found on the DINList and on our website.

But the event to look out for is the DINFest, DO IT NOW's weekend festival in March, which will be held at Base 3 Lake in Midrand. I would like to extend an invitation to all our readers to be a part of this great day for the whole family. Some of the activities we are looking to feature are freestyle motocross, wakeboarding, kayaking, stand-up paddling and many others. Our contributors who specialise in each of these disciplines will also be there to show off their talents. For more details visit the DO IT NOW website.

I believe that 2012 will be a BIG

one and my team and I are ready to

take the magazine to even greater

heights. To all our new readers who

have purchased the magazine from

the stores, welcome and we hope

you enjoy this journey as much as

we do.

Let 2012 be your year where you DON’T HESITATE, DON’T PROCRASTINATE, DO IT NOW!

DIN regards,Francois
