SAN DIEGO, Feb. 5, 2007 — Execute Sports Inc. (OTCBB:EXCS) announced today the sale and transfer of the Academy Snowboard brand. Academy Snowboards, acquired in 2006 as part of the Pacific Sports Group, Inc. acquisition, has been sold back to the original owners. In November, after a year of disappointing sales and sub-standard production, Execute Sports decided to shut down the division and actively began seeking a buyer for the high end snowboard brand. Deal points include the transfer of all liabilities, current receivables and all rights to the brand back to the original owners.

“The sale of Academy was pivotal in the successful restructuring of the company,” said Geno Apicella, CEO of Execute Sports. “In lieu of the situation, the best possible deal was made, significantly reducing Execute’s outstanding debt while finding a perfect home for the brand. With the sale of Academy behind us, Execute Sports will continue to focus on its growing Watersports business. Credit must be given to our board members for completing this deal in a swift and efficient manner. We couldn’t be happier with the final results and we truly wish the brand and its new owners a new-found success in the future.”

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 26, 2006 -- Execute Sports, Inc. (OTCBB:EXCS) today announced its plans to reorganize its business and to divest from its snow sports operations with the goal reducing the company's operational cash flow requirements and creating a more efficient path to profitability.

Geno Apicella, Execute's founder and newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, commented that "It makes the most sense for us to focus on maximizing revenue through the water sports business by leveraging our existing relationships with current vendors and buyers, as opposed to investing into completely distinct markets concurrently. We intend to pursue discussions with interested third parties in selling the Academy Snowboard Co. brand and trademarks and will be committed 100% in 2007 to building our water sports business and to creating a profitable water sports company." Apicella commented further that "as a result of the divestiture of the snowboard business we will be able to significantly reduce the cost of operations and we are currently exploring further strategic options that we hope will create a greater opportunity for the Execute water sports business to flourish."

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 12, 2006 -- Execute Sports, Inc. (OTCBB:EXCS) announced today that it has entered into a strategic partnership with UDT Distribution Corporation ("UDT") wherein UDT will retain exclusivity for its sales and marketing efforts of the Academy Snowboard Company brand throughout Europe. Under the terms of the agreement, UDT is required to meet minimum sales targets on an annual basis for calendar years 2007 through 2011 to retain exclusivity in Europe. If the targets are met, UDT will have sold more than 80,000 snowboards into Europe through the 2011 year end.

David Kim, General Manager of UDT commented that, "This is a partnership that will benefit both Academy Snowboard Co. and UDT and we expect it to be welcomed by our distributor relationships throughout the continent. Through the partnership, the Academy Snowboard Company brand will be picked up by more than 20 distributors throughout Europe and we believe that the demand for the Academy Snowboard Co. brand is building in this territory to meet our expectations for growth over the next five years."
