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.

Hunting Season





Here are just few shots from friends on the search in the northern Great Lakes last weekend. They are hunting for something unique and special that only happens around this time of year. It's hard to explain why someone would drive hours to find a wave when they could surf at home, but it's kind of like a secret we have that no one around us quite seems to notice or care about. Everyone in life is searching for a kind of perfection which most of the time eludes them. But, for us, occasionally we escape and find that little gem where one would least expect it. I guess that is the reason we search where no one else would bother to look. The hope that somewhere out there is a little slice of perfection waiting to be found. Nice work boys!
