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.

Black Friday Surf

These shots were taken by my beautiful wife Anna with her cell phone from the cozy warmth of our Jeep.  With 45kt west winds blowing on Black Friday we scored this little left that was quite protected and fun.  Wind chills were down in the teens for sure, and the snowing blowing in your face made for a very winter like surf.  We scored our first surf and skiing session in the same day for this year.  Boyne was open all weekend and Sunday morning the snow conditions were really good.  Here comes winter!
