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.

Aussie Trip in August??

SAMA Nation:

If anyone is interested in taking a trip to Australia in August, let me know ASAP!!! I found a killer deal on Delta and American for around $900 from Indianapolis to Sydney most anytime in August. Send me an email at mseufert@usa.net if you're interested. At this price, it's not gonna last too long, that's why credit cards exist. This trip is usually like $1500 from LA.

Coming Together

If you haven't heard of Ben Wilson yet then this little teaser should give a glimpse into what's possible for a surfer / kiter. Ben is an Aussie that has been living the dream for a few years kiting and surfing epic waves around the world. Oh ya, and he's got a really cool name too!
