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.

Thanks for sharing Rick!  It was great to see you again, and glad to have some hometown people to run into in the north land  What a great weekend with friends from near and far.  We surfed a beautiful spot on Lake Huron the day before.  This day Shwa turned out to be a lot more fun than we thought it would be.  It must have been the warm air; it wasn't as big and blown out as we expected.  It had some wind on it, but the waves were peeling nicely along that limestone shelf.  Memorable weekend for sure!
