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.

Surf



The joys of living on the lakeshore. However, don't kid yourself. The air temp was 22 degrees and the water was maybe 40. Worth it? A wise man once told me, nothing is as cold as "the icy fingers of regret." Above is the said wise man enjoying his choice to paddle out. Those fingers always warm back up, but the regret of missing out on great waves with all your friends will haunt you for years to come. Thanks for the inspiration wise man!
