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.

Dreaming of Perfect Pond Hockey





I just wanted show off some of the perfect ice we had at the St. Ignace tournament this year. Pretty unbelievable, although after the first few games the ice looked all chewed up. I'm really glad we got out there early on Friday morning to take few photos. Pretty sure these conditions will be hard to replicate in the future.

The warm weather feels great but there is a sadness to the warmth for me. Those great times of winter, with perfect snow and ice, sunny days, are all but a distant memory. Great times in the winter of 2009-2010. It was way too short for me, but I guess all good things must come to an end. Bring on the wind and waves!
