Yes Virginia, there are surfing Santas

COCOA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Yes, Virginia, there are surfing Santas in Florida.

Hundreds of surfers in Santa costumes and thousands of spectators descended Dec. 24 on Cocoa Beach for the eighth annual Christmas Eve Surfing Santas extravaganza.

The Santas surfed the waves all morning to raise money for two charities by selling T-shirts.

One charity is the Florida Surf Museum. The other charity provides financial assistance for cancer patients needing to travel for their treatment.
