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.

Tahqua Trail Run Anyone?

I have wanted to do this trail run for a few years.  It follows the course through the Tahquamenon National Forest, and one of the most beautiful routes along the river to the series of falls.  Anyone interested in running it with Anna and I?  We will not be racing, just enjoying the course set in one of the most beautiful settings of the U.P.  The race is August 13th, we would be running the 25k=15.5m, but feel free to sign up for the 10k=6.2m.  It would be a great time to get some Samainians together in da yoop for a eco friendly trail run.  If you´re interested in running, or just heading up to the yoop for some camping, kiting, surfing, kayaking, and of course trail running goodness shoot me an email.  We´ll probably make a stop at the Tahquamenon Falls Brewery post run!    Tahqua Trail Run
