🏖️🎄 Cocoa Beach’s favorite Christmas tradition goes live December 24 at 7:30am and keeps the fun going until noon. See you on the sand!

� � Pretty cool, right?

Before Santa delivers toys and gifts, he’s been breaking away to catch some waves in Cocoa Beach on Christmas Eve morning. The Surfing Santas event is an annual Cocoa Beach tradition that brings hundreds of surfers dressed up as Santa. They’ll ride in on the waves and walk among us barefoot in the sand. Surfing Santas started on Christmas Eve 2009 when founder George Trosset put on a Santa suit and decided to catch some waves. He had such a great time that the next year he invited some friends to join him and that is how the event has grown over the years.
