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.

The Search, Chilled



I had some awesome waves up north this weekend, and this video helped me get in the right state of mind to go searching. Although the cold came a bit early this year, it just means we are having more waves to surf. So get out there hogs and live the dream!

Also, check out this guys website. His article in Surfers' Journal this month was fantastic.

that's pretty inspirational, but when you think of it we've got a miniture version of that right in our backyard. The cool part is that we've got several years of this kind of exploration under our belts and there is still more to be found!!!
