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 who enjoy the convenience of the tide charts and the magnificence of 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.
CalendarLink.org, a Tidelines company, enables non-profits to generate significant revenue through selling our calendar collections and by creating their own calendar building website to sell personalized calendars directly to their members. The calendars can be printed with the non-profit’s logo if provided. CalendarLink.org prints and ships directly to the buyer and shares revenues with the non-profit.
For all of our calendars we use only same state-of-the-art digital presses as the SD Chargers, the San Diego Padres, SDG&E, San Diego State,Scripps, the Salk Institute, Costco, Sony Corporation and others.
