Скачать или смотреть Surfing Santas 2025 Light Up Cocoa Beach

More than 10,000 people packed Cocoa Beach on Christmas Eve for the 2025 edition of Surfing Santas, one of Florida’s most recognizable holiday traditions.

Hundreds of surfers suited up as Santa Claus, elves, and other festive characters, filling the water and the shoreline with red suits, surfboards, and holiday noise.

Now in its 17th year, Surfing Santas began in 2009 as a small family surf by local surfer George Trosset.

What started with one Santa and one elf has grown into a global spectacle, drawing thousands of spectators and around 500 costumed surfers in and out of the Atlantic.

The day delivered all the classics, including the annual Santa helicopter jump, creative costume contests, and the crowd-favorite SUPsquatch, where four surfers rode a single board together.

Near-perfect weather, live music, and nonstop smiles kept the beach buzzing all morning.

Beyond the fun, Surfing Santas raises money for the Florida Surf Museum, Grind for Life, and Who We Play For, supporting cancer patients and heart health awareness.

It’s part surf session, part holiday party, and all Cocoa Beach.
