SAN DIEGO, Aug. 14, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Execute Sports, Inc. (OTCBB:EXCS) announced today that it has signed Craig Warner to its Execute vest and wetsuit team and also to its Kampus footwear team. Craig is one of the leading pro racers on the American Power Boat Association (APBA) tour, and is currently amongst the top competitors with only one race remaining prior to the world championships.
Duane Pacha, Execute's Product and Brand Manager commented that "With Craig coming on board, we are making a statement that we are serious about addressing the personal watercraft (PWC) market, and we are making moves right now to expand our reach for our products beyond the wake skate and wakeboard segments to include the PWC market, which is a huge opportunity for us." Each year, more than 23 million people in the U.S. alone participate in PWC activities. This compares with about 4 million participants in the U.S. for both wakeboarding and wake skating combined. "We are stoked to see Craig in a position to win the world championships this year, and look forward to supporting his continued racing success," Pacha added.
Execute also wants to congratulate pro team riders Clint Tompkins and Nick Ennen on their performances this weekend at Wakestock, where they were invited to participate in Wakestock's high-profile wakeskate and wakeboard invitational events respectively.
