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.

Gales of November

The storms of November have definitely made their presence known!  These shots taken from Roberto's kite cam last weekend shows the lake in all it's darkness of the season.  We had an amazing session riding these nuggets, and it never felt so good to get back inside and turn on the football game.  Every year these dark, slate gray skies bring a smile to my face.  After all the years of memorable sessions, a famous old song keeps running through my mind.  "When the Gales of November remember."
