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.

Surfrider Earth Day Event at the Hollow!





We had a great day at Mulligan's Hollow this weekend. Our booth was very professional and we had a lot of onlookers. We spread the love of how to care for your beach and your public access. Super stoked were the patrons on our mission and love for the local water quality. Look for one of these photos in the next "Making Waves" Surfrider publication.

That looks great! Everyone down here on surfrider talks about how Michigan got a chapter and how sweet that is...and they even use it a lot in their marketing! So I'll print these photos for everyone. Keep up the great work!

The chapter down here recently purchased a beach access to keep that area of the beach open for all...and now we are fundraising like crazy to pay for that little purchase. Here is the link to see what we are doing down here:

We miss everyone!
