The magic of Christmas meets the sun-kissed shores of Cocoa Beach in this festive video featuring Surfing Santas, Buddy the Elf, and Orlando Health. What starts as a nostalgic look back at how Surfing Santas began quickly transforms into a celebration of community, creativity, and holiday cheer—all with a sprinkle of carpool karaoke!
Buddy the Elf, known for his boundless enthusiasm and knack for spreading Christmas spirit, takes center stage. He introduces two key figures: Daniel, CFO of Orlando Health’s East Region, and George, the founder of Surfing Santas. Together, they embark on a journey through the heartwarming story of how a small gathering on Cocoa Beach in 2009 grew into the globally recognized Surfing Santas event.
The Origin of Surfing Santas
George shares the humble beginnings of Surfing Santas, inspired by a Honda commercial. In its first year, the event featured just one Santa, two elves, and one spectator. Fast forward to today, Surfing Santas has become a holiday tradition attracting over 10,000 spectators and hundreds of surfing Santas from across the globe.
Orlando Health: A Vital Partner
This year, Surfing Santas welcomes Orlando Health as a proud partner. Daniel explains Orlando Health’s commitment to community events, noting that Surfing Santas aligns perfectly with their mission to support fun, family-friendly initiatives on Florida’s Space Coast. He even shares his personal favorite moment of the event: the costume contest!
Festive Fun on the Go
