                 Surf Group Shareholders Enter Into Agreement to
                       Sell Control of Company to UK Group

East Hampton, NY, November 6, 2002 - Surf Group Inc. (OTCBB: SRFG) today
announced that Jeffrey R. Esposito, Surf Group's President and principal
shareholder, and a majority of the shareholders of the Company, have entered
into agreements to sell an aggregate of 4,760,250 shares, or 96%, of the
Company's common stock to a group of purchasers from the United Kingdom. The
purchasers will pay an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. The closing of the
stock sales is expected to take place within approximately 10 days, pending the
satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

The purchasers have also entered into an option agreement with certain other
shareholders of the Company to acquire an additional 130,00 shares of Common
Stock over the nine month period commencing after the closing.

According to the stock purchase agreements, upon the closing, the existing
officers and directors of Surf Group will resign and a new management team
designated by the purchasers will be elected as the new officers and directors.
The new management team is comprised of four individuals who are presently
engaged in the ownership and operation of a telemedical diagnostic service
focused on dermatology in the United Kingdom. This group has formed TDS
(Telemedicine) Inc., a Delaware company, as part of its plan to expand the
provision of telemedicine services to the United States. TDS also serves as
parent company for the United Kingdom telemedicine business. Shortly following
the closing, the purchasers intend to cause the Company to enter into a
triangular merger with TDS whereby TDS will merge with a newly formed subsidiary
of the Company and become the Company's surviving subsidiary. As a result of the
anticipated merger, and certain related transactions, the shareholders of TDS,
the majority of which consists of the Company's new management team, will own
approximately 85.5% of the Company following the proposed merger.

After the closing of the sale of the Company's common stock, and subsequent
merger, the parties' intention is that the Company will sell the assets and
liabilities of the retail/wholesale sporting goods business in which the Company
has historically been engaged. The purchase price for the sale of such assets is
expected to be nominal. As a result of such sale, the Company will be engaged
solely in the business of telemedicine.

Surf Group Inc. is engaged in the retail and wholesale sale of sporting goods.

Kingdom and is commencing similar services in the United States. Its web page is
