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.

US Steel issue

Well after hangin' with the Oahu Surfrider Chapter I can truly say this... WE ARE NOT THAT DIFFERENT!

The only difference I have seen (in the past) is that they have acted, whereas for the most part we have not... UNTIL RECENTLY, so now the task is to follow up and make sure they know we are not just here for the moment, we will be watching them and questioning them for the long-run!

Keep the faith, ride the wave of change!

peace - V~

That is really cool you got to spend time with their chapter Vince. I have heard a lot about how they really have things figured out and are well respected by the community. Definitely a great model for us as we strive to make our home here a great place to live for everyone.
