People always ask what SAMA means. It started as kind of a joke. It was a sleeting, snowy day in early December. My friend and I were surfing a swell in Grand Haven. I looked over at him knowing we were supposed to both be at pre-Christmas family functions soon, and said "We are like Self Absorbed Michigan Adventurers." That kind of stuck, and like many of our friends we have a common passion for outdoor sports in Michigan, and we go out in any weather to get our sessions. He replied "Ya, SAMA!"

So it was born, the SAMA logo was fashioned by another like minded surfer friend from Grand Haven. SAMA is for all of you year round Michiganders and vacationers who know, love, and respect all the outdoor activities there are to do in Michigan. No matter the weather you will find us us out enjoying all the benefits of our unique freshwater paradise.

SAMA spirit


Dude, nice blog, good job giving SAMA a little upgrade. Yesterday the Flordia based SAMA members went kayaking out to the beach and met another Michigander transplant. His name is Danny he's from St. Joe and lives with his wife Beth at Emerald lakes the same complex Kristen and I live in. We had a good time catching fish off the beach and even managed to catch and release a nice little black tip reef shark. Keeping the SAMA spirit alive on the Florida coast. p.s. this photo was taken in Puerto Rico not Florida, just wanted to practice posting pics.

Cool dude, you will have to tell your buddy from St. Joe there was some nice surf there a couple of days ago. Risko said was working nicely. That is cool, someone else from Lake Mich living in Emerald Lakes!
