Come and watch the Cocoa Beach Surfing Santas as they Ho..Ho..Hang Ten!

For the past 10 years, before Santa delivers toys and gifts, he’s been breaking away to catch some waves in Cocoa Beach on Christmas Eve morning. Pretty cool, right? A Christmas Eve morning spectacle that has grabbed international attention, hundreds of “Surfing Santas” will set out on the beach at about 8 a.m. to hit the waves off downtown Cocoa Beach, where there is space to park cars — even sleighs. Watch them ride the waves and kick off your holiday weekend beachside at this FREE event.

Now in its fourth year, the crowd can participate in a costume contest. Dress up in your favorite winter themed outfit – snowman, Santa and Mrs. Claus, gingerbread man, reindeer, elves – for your chance to win prizes. This year there will be five categories – babies (0-3), kids (4-15), group (2 people or more), men (16+), and women (16+).

Cash prizes for first through third place: $50 for first, $25 for second, $15 for third in individual categories and $100 for first, $50 for 2nd and $30 for third in the group category. One Grand Prize winner, the peoples choice from the first place winners, will win a Surfing Santas Surfboard!
