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.

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!
