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.

Wow, check out this dude! I have been super sick for the past four or five days. Recovering from another Boyne sickness. However, I did happen to capture this dude sitting on my arbor in the backyard. Sickness sessions are a huge bummer.

I might actually get in the water and surf some small waves tomorrow if there is anything left. It looked fun out there today.

I here ya! Nat, Ava, and I are in recovery mode here too. I was watching 5 dudes on the Holland cam today surfing clean knee high waves amongst a whole lot of ice chunks. A little crazy but very entertaining.

Hope you feel better! A little surf sesh sometimes cures the common cold. At least for a couple hours.
