(CSE:SWIM.CN) (“SWMBRD” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that Tahe Outdoors (“Tahe”) of Vannes, France has informed the Company that the process of milling the twin high capacity aluminum SWMBRD molds has now been completed.

As part of Tahe’s ACE-TEC process, the first mold (consisting of 1A plus 1B) compresses high density EPS foam to form the inner core of the Swimboard, while the second mold (consisting of 2A plus 2B) thermoforms a high impact shell reinforced with fibreglass around the EPS foam core. The result is a light, strong, attractive, high-performance board, efficiently and cost effectively produced.

Shareholders will recall that the Company has in place a definitive original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) agreement with Tahe for the production of the Swimboard, as disclosed in the Company’s final long form prospectus (available on SEDAR, www.sedar.com).

The next stage in preparing the production process is now underway. This consists of assembling, installing and calibrating the various other components required by the ACE-TEC thermoforming process.

“We are very pleased that the critical stage of milling the high production ACE-TEC molds is now complete,” says Justin Schroenn (President and CEO of SWMBRD Sports Inc.). “Once completed by the addition of further components of the process, these first molds will be capable of producing a premium quality product at high speed, and an affordable price.  We look forward to keeping shareholders apprised as we draw nearer to the exciting moment the first production Swimboards come off the line.”
