Founded in 1981, Tidelines made an immediate splash with its line of glossy calendars featuring brilliant photographs of ocean scenes. But what made the calendars unique was the collection of wavy lines, called "sine waves," that charted the rise and fall of the tides in a given area. The sine waves offered a graphic, easy-to-read alternative to standard tide charts that rely solely on headache-inducing numbers. Today, Tidelines calendars and pocket tidebooks are standard issue throughout the coastal United States, Australia and Mexico with ocean enthusiasts and others that simply enjoy the high quality photographs.
In 2008, Tidelines developed PhotoTides (www.phototides.com), a user friendly website that allows users to create their own custom tide calendars. With PhotoTides, an individual can upload their own photos, write captions, and choose from 3500 tide locations nationwide.
In 2009, we developed TidelinesCustoms (www.tidelinescustoms.com), a comprehensive website that is designed for promotional products companies to customize and create personalized promotional tide calendars. Our interactive website allows qualified distributors users to upload client logos, images, add text captions, company name, event dates, and has space for custom text.
