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.

All American Quiver for the All American Great Lake



Lake Michigan is affectionately known by Great Lakes enthusiasts as "The All American Great Lake" due to the fact that it is the only Great Lake that lays entirely within the United States. My favorite sliding tools for this special body of water are as follows. 10ft volan cloth Bob McTavish noserider (Pre-Global Surf Industries), 6ft Burly mini-simmons (locally made), and the 5'8" Grunion 9fish retro quad. This seems to cover most of my bases here in the freshies. I didn't plan them to be red, white, and blue, but thought it was symbolic enough to warrant a post. Hope all you GL sliders got some this weekend. See you in the water soon.
