For 23 years since 1991, and over the span of 174 editions, Eastern Surf Magazine has proven time and again to our
readership — and you the advertiser — that the ESM brand stands for the highest quality, in-depth journalism, both in
the written and photographic realms. From the time Volume #1, Issue #1 hit surf shops, ESM has been THE most trusted
and widely read publication for East Coast coverage over any other tabloid or four-color glossy on the market. And it is
that absolute trust placed in us by our fiercely loyal readership that will help, above all, to sell your product to new levels
of success in the world’s largest discretionary income spending demographic for surfing-related products — period. We
represent the entire East Coast with the most accurate and thorough coverage, making our two grassroots media outlets
totally unique in the extremely crowded field of surf publications and websites, and the best choice for your advertising
campaign. Eastern Surf Magazine empowers you, the advertiser, with a proven, cost-effective method for marketing your
product to both consumers and retailers on the East Coast, providing the inside track to one of the largest buying markets
in the U.S. surf industry. Our specialized distribution strategy combined with large page format and unparalleled reader
allegiance assures that when you advertise in ESM or on www.EasternSurf.com, you will achieve credibility and visibility
in this important market, whether you are a large, internationally established corporation or a small, grassroots start-up.
