SURFLINE MOBILE GOES LIVE

March 15, 2004, Huntington Beach, California -- Surfline, a leading action sports media company, and Ninja Mobile, a California-based mobile solutions provider, today announced the release of Surfline Mobile, a wireless service that allows consumers nationwide to access Surfline's trademark surf reports and forecasts via cell phones. Surfline Mobile is an extension of Ninja Mobile and Surfline's longstanding partnership and demonstrates the companies' continuing commitment to innovation, and to meeting consumers' 24/7 demand for information about weather, tides, wind and waves.

As a first stage in the development of features, Surfline Mobile will offer access to the world's most reliable surf report network, giving subscribers a precise reading on conditions at nearly 100 beaches around the globe. Each report features a forecast summary, along with detailed wave heights, wind data, water temperatures, tide readings and more. Reports are posted by 7 a.m., with regional wind updates every thirty minutes.

"We are excited to continue our relationship with Ninja Mobile, and to be the first major media company to offer comprehensive surf and weather data via cellular phones," said Jonno Wells, Chief Executive Officer, Surfline, Inc. "Surfline.com has become an important part of the lives of millions of surfers, fishermen, boaters and general beach enthusiasts, and the new Surfline Mobile service allows us to extend the Surfline experience beyond the desktop, and to provide our loyal users the Surfline information they know and love, whenever and wherever they need it."

Surfline and Ninja Mobile initially announced an agreement to offer surfing content and services to wireless web subscribers in June of 2003 with the release of Surfline Pro, a surfing-themed cell phone game. That agreement provided a unique, realistic and challenging gaming experience on a variety of handsets. The two companies have continued to work together to produce Surfline Mobile, and, coming this summer, an advanced version that will feature streaming camera images, as well as wave animation models, from beaches around the world.
