You don’t want to hear about what we studied or where we grew up, or any of that boring stuff.

So we asked the team one IMPORTANT question…

What is your PERFECT SUNDAY?

KENDYL

Hello hello…

My perfect way to spend a Sunday… I’m thinking a wintery, drizzling Sunday in Cape Town – calling up a bunch of mates, cooking a giant roast lamb with a sack load of roast potatoes and a bucket of gravy. Breaking out copious vats of red wine and chatting around the table in front of a roaring fire.

Then eating way too much pudding and snoozing it all off on the couch during Carte Blanche.

Life doesn’t get any better.

DUNCAN

Waking up late and having one of my custom greasy breakfasts and then taking an awesome hike up the mountain, to work off the breakfast. In the evening it’s complete chill mode with a good book and music, lots and lots of music.

ERAN

Waking up early in the morning just before Sunrise: Grabbing my surfboard, picking up my buds and heading down to the beach to watch the sunrise from backline.

Surfing the sun to its noon and enjoying a slight breeze blowing through the air, then going to grab a burger and laughing about the day’s surf the killer party we went to last night. Catching a surf later that day and finishing off with a sauna at the gym and a cool shower. To finish the evening: dinner at Elements with my friends, under a bright moon and sharing a Wes Anderson movie.

ERIC

I’m thinking whether I prefer the hyper or chilled version. The chilled version would be breakfast in bed & newspaper till about 5 in the afternoon, with the occasional glance at the net.

More active would be a day trip to a wine farm, or to Kalk Bay or to hout bay.

And extreme. Well I remember the old days, and it’s just too tiring thinking about it!

ROBERT

I don’t think I have one particular perfect Sunday. Sometimes it’s a marathon free-for-all Magic: the Gathering session with the guys. Sometimes it’s a Pinotage fillet steak and associated scenery on a beautiful day just outside my home town of Stellenbosch. Sometimes it only starts in the afternoon :)

Most times, though, I eat well, enjoy good company, and learn something new!

great team!! :) shoutBack 1 week, 4 days ago by

ELEMENTS THEME COMPETITION

Earth Air Fire Water

We are looking for designs which truly illustrate what the four elements mean to you.

How have these elements shaped our world, how do they influence our emotions and what do they inspire in us?
Without air we cannot breathe, the earth provides us with the rich bounty that sustains us; water is the life force of our planet and finally fire, which warms even the coldest reaches of our world.

Glorious, terrifying, powerful, vibrant, life-giving, explosive, gentle, awe inspiring!

The elements of nature are all these things and more.
Elements can also refer to different types of people.
Fire people are passionate and overflowing with energy. However, they are also famous for their eruptions of anger that rival even the most explosive volcanoes.
Water folk on the other hand are cool headed smooth operators, who can talk their way out of any situation.
Everybody has an element that best represents their being!
The 4 elements combine to create everything in the natural world and without them life as we know it could simply not exist…

What we need from you:

Create a design that is all about the four elements, earth, air, fire and water.

Design entries can be about the elements themselves, or simply what they mean to you. You can centre your design on all four, or choose one to focus on, if that element speaks to your imagination.

Get creative. Go wild!

Happy Designing

The Springleap.com Team

An alternate colouring of Springleaper’s Journey :)

Every Springleaper shares a similar experience:

We all start as a sapling, that grows and encounters a trial by fire – then, LEAP-ing in leaps and bounds in experience and skillset – growing our own wings from the honing of said skills – and the eventual blast off that being a Springleaper brings. In a dust of magic awesomeness :)

Hope you enjoy it!

PS : the bunnies F*&kin rock. shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

Definitely heading in the right direction here – Classic and classy tee design work from Tu as usual. I think my one serious gripe is how hard it is to make out the Springleap logo shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

two of these as well? shoutBack 4 weeks, 1 day ago by

awesome..I like this.. shoutBack on 29/5/10 by

I like it…maybe if the design was just shifted down a bit… shoutBack on 2/5/10 by

Great stuff Tu!! I’ll wear this Tee with pride! Love the design, really great colour collaboration. Good use of the bright colours. Just looks awesome! U have my vote! shoutBack on 22/4/10 by

Yeah dude these colours are much better shoutBack on 17/4/10 by

Too much. Maybe I’m a minimalist, but the colours are a bit overwhelming shoutBack on 5/4/10 by

Very cool work! I love the bunnies – perhaps this is the shape of the Springleap Mascot to come! – I think the SPRINGLEAP needs to be clearer for it to be an official brand tee tho shoutBack on 31/3/10 by

Hey Tu, I prefer this version. Very clean professional look. Good work!!! shoutBack on 29/3/10 by

A Yin Yang symbol , the tiger and dragon represents the physical and spiritual worlds. Together they symbolise perfect harmony and the balance that needs to be maintained in life. Live long and prosper!

Mmm, this design wasn’t meant for the Springleap competition. Not sure why it was still there, I did ask them to remove it. Oh well…Thanks for the comments. shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

yeah this design shouldnt be here shoutBack 4 weeks, 1 day ago by

mmmm no relevance shoutBack on 15/4/10 by

relevance to the springleap promo t-shirt? :/ shoutBack on 19/3/10 by

maybe a frog and a rabbit in the spiral sphere would have been good, in pink and green, and change the “stay balanced” to “springleap” I know its a bit of effort, but then it would have looked like you specifically made it for this themed comp. shoutBack on 16/3/10 by

Live long and prosper is more of a Vulcan thing to say hehehe. But yeah I like the idea, not sure I like teh large whire block or the “stay balanced” font. But there is potential! shoutBack on 12/3/10 by

Well i LOVE synthy screamo or indie music and i think synths look awsome on shirts. And “Play Me” makes it sound a bit naughty

Yaaay! This is totally cute :) shoutBack 2 weeks, 2 days ago by

Pink = amazing on the melange, the two compliments each other in the best way. I dont think the font is too small I think maybe a different font altogether would have worked better but I still love this one , i would have maybe faded it a bit more and bring more melange through shoutBack 2 weeks, 3 days ago by

Yeah the pink looks epic on the melange. I would have liked to have seen the font a tad bigger though. shoutBack 2 weeks, 6 days ago by

i dont think the pink is girly at all, it fits really well with everything, and man if you’re too scared to wear this tee then you’re not man enough anyway :P kiddin shoutBack 2 weeks, 6 days ago by

nice retro vibe to it shoutBack 2 weeks, 6 days ago by

the design is cool but the pink makes it look a little too girly for me shoutBack 3 weeks ago by

Cool, very retro-like especially on the melange The pink and melange works very well together, the font is cool but i bet you could have found something better? Simpy design – but love it shoutBack 3 weeks ago by
