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.

Welcome to the next generation of the SAMA nation!!


Welcome to the next generation of the SAMA nation!!

We will be holding the first SAMA monthly mission meeting this Monday Aug. 25th from 7-8pm at Lucky's Coffee Shop in Spring Lake, MI. The plan is to chill with friends and throw out some ideas for trips that will be scheduled for the fall and winter season. Bring friends and ideas for adventures! Kayak, mountain bike, surfing, climbing, kiteboarding, skiing/snowboarding, and even music festivals all fall under our commitment to making the Lakeshore area a great place for outdoor enthusiasts and positive fun loving people to live and connect with each other. Bring your laptops for WiFi research on the logistics of these epic adventures. Also, in the future we will try to have a data projector to show slide shows and videos of past trips.

I will bring a notebook and calendar. We will jot down some trip ideas to be posted on our SAMA blog. I will update the blog as trips become confirmed and the organizing persons contact information. Therefore, it will be imperative that you sign up for an email subscription on the SAMA blog to keep up to date with all the current SAMA adventures. As always, we are stoked to the core about the outdoor possibilities of our region and abroad.

Here is the bait!! I have just purchased 20 new and improved two color SAMA die cut stickers. Made from the highest quality of vinyl all weather die cut material. I will be handing out these killer new stickers at the meeting while supplies last! Every batch of SAMA stickers is unique so you don't want to miss this opportunity to grab these special editions of the SAMA nation sticker collection. These stickers will show the world that you are part of a growing force of individuals who the love the beauty of our region and vow to live a life that personifies the SAMA spirit. How SAMA are you??
