sama: First Blood Rights

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.

First Blood Rights

Our good friend and fellow SAMAnaic Brian Scott has earned first blood rights at the new bowl at the GH skate park. First drop in...three walls...flat bottom wash out...head to concrete...911...backboard removal from said bowl...you get the idea. He's gonna have a headache for a while, but seems to be alright. Give em' a shout if you can and wish him well. Don't bother with giving him any grief about not wearing a helmet though - Angela was there watching the whole thing. He won't be allowed out of the house without one now:)
