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.

PJ Hoffmaster SAMA session


Tuesdays session at PJ Hoffmaster was killer, and tonight we hit it again. We bring our SAMA style to the back and more protected bowls of the sand company. Power to the Powder Poachers! Under the cover of darkness the secret SAMA agents will hike and destroy the freshies waiting for us illuminated by the glow of our LED headlamps. Once again I praise all the men and women of SAMA who show the rest of the world inching along in their tin cans, hiding from the cold and complaining about life in the Midwest, that the human spirit is still alive! We embody the idea that allowed our ancestors to progress. Where others see nothing worth chasing, we see only possibilites, and epic little stashes. Keep it real Samainians!! Power to the Poachers....
