Dec 24, 2017; Cocoa Beach, FL, USA; Thousands turned out to watch hundreds of surfing Santas take to the water for the Christmas Eve morning Surfing Santas of Cocoa Beach event. The event began in 2009 when George Trosset, his son and daughter-in-law went surfing in Santa and holiday costumes and has grown bigger every year. The event raises money for the Florida Surf Museum and Grind for Life. Mandatory Credit: Malcolm Denemark/Florida Today via USA TODAY NETWORK
