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.

Mulder "Man"cation








Hope everyone had a killer weekend! I just got back from an epic yaking trip with my Dad and Bro's from Pictured Rocks. The colors were raging and so were the 30 knot off shore winds which made for perfect cliff exploration in kayaks. We yak surfed several waves along the cliffs and rocks on one of the more choppy days and did a little cliff-jump'n body surfing too. Can't wait for some decent surf back on the home front. Rock-on!

Ana,I'm guessing it may off been a brotherly fatherly bonding thingy. I was telling Natalie last night that she would of had a killer time adventuring around those coves, caves, and bays with us. This trip would be a great thing to do with the whole SAMAnation crew, Men as well as Woman.
