ABOUT US ...
Time has flown by as we've enjoyed 18 years of blessed growth! We've carefully planned, working day and night (in between swells) and publishing issue after issue of WSSM. We've proudly cemented our lead as the LONGEST running women's surf magazine in the history of the USA.
We're grateful. Humbled.
We can only say... God is good!

ADVERTISING RATES
Minimal Investment with Maximum Exposure
With rates that are reasonable enough to fit most budgets, and maximum exposure for dollars invested, this special collector's edition- we're keeping it simple. REALLY simple.
Our goal is to get YOU noticed and remembered by our readers, so only two large advertising options are offered- full pages or spreads- thus ensuring your branding will be as effective as possible.
We know one of the most expensive costs to growing your business is advertising, yet without it, it's easy to get lost in the mix and go unnoticed. We have changed that.
By offering massive ads at the most affordable rates in the industry, we're giving every business the opportunity to grow and be seen, at a price they can afford.
We don't offer tiny ads that don't
get noticed.
"Go BIG, or go home".
Let's go BIG together!
