Onboard Digital Magazine


Just got this in my mailbox. I thought I would pass it along.

Factory Media, Europe's leading action sports media group, announces its plans to launch the World's first-ever high frequency and digital snowboard magazine; aimed at North American markets. Under the Onboard Digital brand, the launch of the premier issue will be October 17th and will continue with a bi-weekly circulation for 12 issues. With a launch target distribution of 500,000, ongoing viral distribution and as a free – forever! – subscription; the product will reach a record number of snowboarders. As Europe's long established number one selling snowboard magazine, Onboard is confident in its ability to produce a relevant and exciting launch for the North American market, with the support of devoted shredder and seasoned editor David Sypniewski (ex-pro rider and Senior Editor of TransWorld Snowboarding 1997-2000).
"Onboard's established edit team from across the pond are excited about the new digital version for North America. Under the command of Dave Sypniewski, the mag promises to fulfill the desires of all riders across the Americas and beyond." – Danny Burrows, Editor in Chief, Onboard Magazine.
The magazine will be available online - with no extra viewing software required - at http://freemag.onboardsnowboarding.com , and can also be dispatched virally amongst snowboarders as a completely web-based and free-to-view magazine.
