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.

Lake Huron Love

Surfer magazine found this Brian Tanis shot worthy of reposting on their Facebook page.  I missed this one, but know the guys that didn't miss it.  Much love from Lake Huron.  Set up look pretty all time to me!

Skeetown Session Aug. 2nd 2015

Kitesurf Skeetown 2015 from Ben Braymer on Vimeo.

The storm of Aug. 2nd 2015 will long be remembered up north.  We just had a chance to drive through there this weekend and saw all the trees down.  Down here we didn't have near the damage but still has some amazing wind and waves.  Here is a little video from our session at North Muskegon before the wind got really crazy.  Here's to the start of the warm water and wave season!

Leelanau Excursion

SUP Northport July 2015 from Ben Braymer on Vimeo.

Anna and I had some fun roaming around the Leelanau Peninsula this past week.  It was fun exploring new places right here at home in the lower peninsula.  This little edit is from a SUP session right at the Northport pier.

Skijoring with Baloo at Hofma Park - March 2015

Hofma Skijor 2015 from Ben Braymer on Vimeo.

Looking back on this day now that the sun is high in the sky and the weather is perfect for kiting. I am excited and reminiscent of all the great activities to do outdoors in Michigan!  I will enjoy the kiting and surfing seasons.  The beautiful spring, summer, and fall.  But, I will be super excited to get Baloo out for her first full year of skijoring and dogsledding when the snow graces our landscape once again!
