TRUE SURF

SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT WAVE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hossegor, France (Wednesday, October 3, 2018) - True Axis along with Official
Partners World Surf League (WSL) and Surfline today announced the worldwide launch
of TRUE SURF. TRUE SURF is the world’s most authentic mobile surfing game. TRUE
SURF utilizes True Axis’ real-world physics simulation engine, powered by live Surfline
weather forecasts, to enable the virtual replication of a realistic surfing experience,
similar to a surfer’s favored pastime of ‘mind surfing’ the waves from the beach.

TRUE SURF is available for download for FREE now at Apple’s App Store and players
can enter the WSL Trials for Stop No. 9 on the WSL Championship Tour, the Quiksilver
and Roxy Pro France, to see if they have what it takes to become a World Champion.

True Axis Managing Director Luke Ryan said, “We wanted to create a game that can
replicate the excitement and variability of surfing where conditions are always changing.
I think TRUE SURF achieves that. With real-time data from Surfline implemented, we’re
having a lot of fun just opening the app each day to check out the TRUE SURF surf
cams. There is also a lot of depth in picking the right board from your quiver to match
the surf. We are committed to TRUE SURF after launch and are excited to engage with
players to help us focus our future efforts.”

TRUE SURF includes 21 of the world’s best waves from classic reef breaks with hollow
barrels at Pipe in Hawaii, Cloudbreak, Fiji to rolling ‘power-curve’ breaks at Bells Beach,
Australia. Or try to beat the sections at some of the fastest point breaks like Jeffreys
Bay, South Africa. If BIG waves are your thing, then head to Nazare, Portugal and Jaws
(Pe-ahi), Hawaii.

“Surfline are a proud partner of TRUE SURF to help virtual surfers Know Before They
Go, and to power the game-play experience with real-time conditions,” said Surfline
SVP of Corporate Development, Ross Garrett. “Of course, we also love playing the
game.”

WSL Chief Community Officer, Tim Greenberg said, "We're very excited to announce
the launch of the WSL's official mobile game. Our fans have been asking for this

product and we're thrilled to be partnering with True Axis and Surfline to bring it to life.
This is a fantastic opportunity for surfers and new audiences to engage with, and enjoy,
our incredible sport without needing to jump on a board."
