HURLEY AND EXTREMEPIE.COM ANNOUNCE NEW PARTNERSHIP DEAL

Hurley and ExtremePie.com have teamed up to launch a new breed of on-line action sports concept store. In an unprecedented move ExtremePie.com and Hurley are launching the first online shop-in-shop where Hurley will have a fully branded shop within the Extremepie.com web site. Launching in July 04 it will be totally dedicated to the latest product and lifestyle from this core American surf/skate/moto-X brand. Shoppers will be able to access the Hurley range quickly and easily and have everything delivered direct to them where ever they are.

Hurley.com has recently been re-designed to support this summer's launch into Europe with improved product information, rider news and updates. The site will also feature a shopping banner that will link directly to the Hurley shop-in-shop on Extremepie.com. This exclusive and mutually
beneficial association is sure to drive brand awareness and sales into the Winter 2004 season and beyond.

Al Gosling, CEO of Extreme Group explains

"It is great to see Hurley take advantage of ExtremePie.com's experience, infrastructure and proven track record to deliver. The fact that the
internet is now the fastest growing retail channel combined with Extreme Sports Channel's ability to drive traffic puts Hurley well ahead of the
competition"
Hurley believe the main benefits of this association will be reaped by their consumers across Europe, who will have easy, direct access to the Hurley range and be able to shop securely on-line.
