COCOA BEACH, Fla. – Hundreds of surfers dressed as Santa Claus caught the waves and celebrated on the shore in what has become an annual tradition at Florida’s Cocoa Beach.
Organizers of the seventh annual Surfing Santa event say they distributed 500 wristbands Thursday for surfers who wanted to ride the waves dressed as St. Nick.
A singer with a ukulele led people in singing Christmas carols, and some Santas glided onto the beach via parachutes.
