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.

SAMA kayaking trip Sep.26-28th







It is getting closer to river time!! I am really excited about getting a bunch of us up to the Pine for a fall kayak session. I am going to reserve the camping at Coolwater Campground in Wellston MI. It is 12 bucks per person per night, they have hot showers and bathrooms. If you click on the title it will take you to the campgrounds website for a look at the photos and map.

If you are planning on coming please email me or call so I can get a good idea of how many of us are going. We will leave on Friday after work, camp Friday night and Saturday night. We are kayaking the Pine on Saturday around noon. If you need rentals there are several places close by.

Pine River Paddlesports
Horina Canoe and Kayak Rentals

Let's get a bunch of us up there and have a great time on the river! Again, let me know if you are coming ASAP so we can figure if we need two sites or one! SAMA Rules!!!!
