VANCOUVER, BC – TheNewswire - September 16, 2022: SWMBRD Sports Inc. (CSE:SWIM, '>CN (the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of field testing of the first two of the mass production (ACE-TECH) version of its proprietary swimboard (the "SWMBRD"). The boards were thoroughly tested for performance in all relevant aquatic environments: lakes, streams, flat ocean and moderate surf; as well as for ease of long-range portability.    

Management of the Company (the "Management") is very pleased to announce that the ACE-TECH boards' performance with regard to all of the performance criteria was spectacular, exceeding even the Company founders' expectations. The boards are even lighter, faster, and more responsive than the previous custom made boards of the same design, while still retaining excellent durability.

The first two ACE-TECH boards were extensively tested at Tofino, BC, in small 3 to 4 foot surf – which Management believes is an optimal size for the majority of recreational participants in surf riding. The boards' performance was truly superb in all aspects: dive-ability and control when going out through oncoming waves, take-off torque, acceleration and speed on the wave face, precise tracking across both the wave face and in deep post-break foam, hand placement ergonomics and leash placement. Though the surf was not large, as experienced body boarders from Durban, South Africa, Management is confident that the board's performance characteristics will prove equally excellent in larger surf.

Certain statements in this news release related to the Company are forward-looking statements and are prospective in nature including the statements regarding: Management's belief that the various qualities of the SWMBRD will drive future sales of the product; that the mass produced boards will have similar qualities as the tested versions and perform equally well under various different circumstances; that the SWMBRD will receive widespread consumer acceptance as a result of various factors; the various qualities of the SWMBRD, such as its lightness, compact size and ergonomic design, will be significant factors in driving future sales of the board; that the SWMBRD will be suitable for use in surf and non surf environments and thereby achieve larger consumer demand as a result; and the Company's plan to mass produce the SWMBRDs under an OEM agreement with Tahe Outdoors between December 2022 and January 2023.
