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.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to call our senators. Congress will break at the end of the week and not return to D.C. until after the new year. This week is our last chance.

Hello everyone, I just called Senator Harry Reid of Nevada. He is the Senate Majority Leader in Washington D.C. I left a voice mail with him urging him to include the H2B visa returning worker amendment in the legislation. Here is the number you can call 202-224-3121. Ask for Harry Reid's office. Make to sure to tell them it is imperative that is get passed this week, as if we do not have the seasonal workers for Christmas it will hurt our whole season and the business with suffer greatly. I also think it is important to tell them these people are part of our family, and spending Christmas apart will take its toll as well. Thanks in advance to anyone who calls.
