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.

Austria is Alpine Heaven






Here is a few pics that were sent to me by Stoffi. He was obviously scoring! I am starting to really think we need a SAMA jet to fly around and hit all the epic conditions world wide. Here is part of his email that explains the session.

hello my snow-friends

aus you can see - austria got dumped on last week. we have not had so much snow this early in over 40 year. it is great.
yesterday we skinned up the mountain and had a great powder run down from there. tomorrow lifts are opening here for the
weekend. we are probably hiking up tomorrow at 6:30am so we can lay the first tracks before the tourists do it. you just gotta
do what you gotta do.

Samainians keep up the strong work around the globe!
