Lunch Seshies

Dudes, the last couple weeks there's been some awesome vibes at the Grand Haven Sand Bowl. Serious hard core stoke. I'm so ready for some nice warm weather to be able to kill it with Brian and whoeverelse what's to surf some wavement on noon hours. There's no better way to use those precious lunch hours than to gear up, thrash the bowl, bomb some hills, and come back to work dripping with swet. Here's a little momento from last summers lunch sesh.

Greensky Bluegrass Backroom Blowout at Bell's March 28th!

Samainians,

If you have never seen our Michigan hometown bluegrass jam band all stars, you should make a point to rally with us down to Kalamazoo! The boys from Greensky Bluegrass Band will be playing a fantastic show at Bell's in the backroom. Trust me, seeing a show in the backroom is a treat. Greensky always puts on an amazing jam session back there. Bring your SAMA shirts and let's have a good time listening to a little down home Michigan inspired bluegrass. There's no place like home Dorothy!

Surf Rage! March Madness

I am looking for a session after school. Its supposed to die down in the afternoon, and hopefully there will be a little swell running still. Most of the ice is gone up by the pier

We will soon be Ice Free!!!

Hogs,

Here is the recent weather report from our favorite weather man Will Beaton! Look for some water action next week!

Sunday March 8

More rain and possible thundershowers as we have a storm moving towards us from the southwest. Mild temperatures and rain will take care of the remaining ice on the lake. Whatever doesn't melt, the southeasterly winds will blow out into the lake, and will not be returning anytime soon. Sunrise 7:09am. Sunset 6:43pm. High temperature 55. Winds southeast 12-25 mph.

Iceburg Kayak Sledding

While Ben was at "Bed Bath and Beyond" the other hoglets were out pushing kayaking to a whole new level. These floating Grand Haven iceturds have created yet another venue for SAMA exploration. While "The Shark", Jim Dreyer, was out doing a demo for water safety along the pier the Hog's were doing a little demo for the new emerging sport of Iceburg Kayak Sledding.

Snowkite Mission Muskegon Lake

Sorry it was too windy to get any good action photos.  These double shakas will let you know how much fun it was. This sessions was full of speed!  Great time, and my first real nuking snowkite session.  Hooked....

Head High Barrel and GH City Beach

Well Kind of, it was a beautiful Saturday evening out at the beach this weekend. Nothing like a mid winter thaw and sunny skies to put a smile on your face.

Mt. Bohemia 2009

My first trip to Mt. Bohemia was unreal! The lines were sick, the snow was awesome, and a great time was had by all. Anna did get a bit sick of the smell, but hung in there like a trooper. I was really taken with the place by the time we left, and it reaffirmed my thinking that once again the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is truly one of coolest places I have been. Great times everyone, and I hope Johnson gets that video up soon, so you can all see what you missed.

The Origins of Snowboarding

Hey everyone, check this out! Maybe Snowboarding has been around much longer than we thought!

Jeremy Jones went to Turkey in search of big lines—what he found was much more impressive: a small village where they have been riding for hundreds of years. He discusses the roots of the sport with snowboarding’s elder statesmen: a man in his 70s named Celime.
