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.

Snow Sessions on Mt. bikes





Coop and I raged on some North Country Trail action today. We tried to go to Owasippe, but it was still closed for some reason. So, we decided to call Sunny and see if she could give us some directions to the nearest section of the N.T.C. She hooked us up and we found it! To our surprise a few other Samaistas had already ridden the section and left us a nice cut trail through the snow. It was a killer session, and it felt good to get back the mt. bike. The snow was wet and packed the trail down quite well. I wish I had a photo of the creek crossing we had to make. It was definitely SAMA style!
