NO BANTER ABOUT SANTA BANNER
About this photo above:
While traditional images of Santa Claus show a
bearded man in a bright red suit, in
Huntington Beach you'll often find Santa
depicted as a surfer, wearing shorts, a
Hawaiian print shirt and even driving a
woody.
That's just how life is in this beach city
where Santa even carries a surfboard.
Pictured above is Santa looking at the
Pacific Ocean from the beaches of Huntington
Beach. Surfboard in hand, he's dreaming
about the next wave he'll ride, just after
he delivers toys to all the deserving girls
and boys.
Note: Events are subject to change. Call
