VANCOUVER, BC, February 10, 2023: SWMBRD Sports Inc. (CSE: SWIM) (“SWMBRD” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has launched its online pre-sales portal at www.swmbrd.com.

SWMBRD President, Justin Schroenn commented, “We are very pleased to have arrived at this critical milestone in the story of SWMBRD – the launch of our online pe-order portal will allow SWMBRD to refine our online ordering processes, inventory management and customer care in partnership with our logistics and fulfilment partner, Farrow Logistics, prior to activating full payment mechanisms in March 2023.”
Russel A. Farrow Ltd. (“Farrow”) is Canada's largest independently owned customs agent, with over 100 years of expertise in international trade: www.Farrow.com. Farrow is able to provide SWMBRD with all essential supply chain services, including international shipping, customs brokerage, warehousing, and North American fulfillment services to Canada, USA and Mexico.
Additionally, SWMBRD is pleased to announce that that the Company has commenced its planned Canadian spring trade show schedule. The Company’s plan involves an intensive outdoor recreation-oriented trade show roster between February and April 2023, including a variety of mutually complimentary sub-sectors (i.e., boating, RV, cottage life and outdoor recreation).
The Company commenced the spring 2023 season by attending the five day Vancouver International Boat Show (estimated attendees of approximately 30,000) at B.C. Place Stadium from February 1-5, 2023.
Here follows a timeline of future spring 2023 trade shows at which the Company’s attendance is currently confirmed:
