Surfing Santa, Michael Pless, 62, gives a 'hang-ten' gesture while riding a wave off Seal Beach, south of Los Angeles, on December 21, 2012. Pless, who also runs a surfing school, has been dressing up as Santa Claus and taking to the waves in costume since the 1990's, sometimes joined by his wife Jill in a Mrs. Claus outfit.
