Every December since 1985,  “Surfing Santa” has been raising awareness of homelessness by surfing the icy waters of the Niagara River. Surfer Santa makes the frigid 10km journey on a wind surfer or stand-up paddleboard clad in a specialized cold water “Santa” drysuit. Weather conditions dictate launch location and equipment choice but it’s bon voyage, snow, hail, sleet, rain or shine!
