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.

Flat Water Alternative

Any SAMAnians have a kayak? I bought a kayak last Spring and haven't really used it much. Last night I was bummen that the wind never came up enough to kite so I threw my kayak in at White Street and paddled out for about 45 minutes, took a swim, watched the sunset, then paddled in. I got in just as it was getting dark and rode a tiny little wave in all the way from the outer sandbar. It was fun and a nice workout. Let me know if anyone is ever up for a quick paddle session.
