If you are an individual user and have enjoyed or gotten value either past or present from using Swaylock's, consider becoming an Individual Sponsor. Becoming an Individual Sponsor does get you a ton in the way of material returns. You'll get a bumper sticker (if you send me your address), access to a private channel in our Discord forum and your name listed on our homepage. But the important thing you'll get is intangible: It's the glow of good feelings knowing you are keeping a grass roots, soulful, non-corporate website dedicated to surfcraft design, construction and history up and running. Hopefully that's enough? Get the following with an Individual Sponsorship:

• Sticker
• Username listed on Swaylock's homepage
• Access to private Forum channel

If you are running a business and want to get your products and services in front of the Swaylock’s community then a Business Sponsorship is for you. First off, the audience. From collectors to underground builders to high-tech pros, our community includes some of the most hard core surfboard and surfcraft fanatics on the planet. In terms of reach, Swaylock’s Digest (my email newsletter) has nearly 17,000 subscribers with a nearly 50% open rate. And the website is visited by 1000-2000 unique visitors a day from all around the world. If you are building a product or service where your target customers are surfboard lovers or the people who make them, you will gain high quality traffic through the sponsorship exposure, since all our visitors are surfboard lovers or builders.
