Surfers got into the festive spirit dressing up in Santa suits and hitting the waves in Newquay on Saturday.

Escape Surf School staged its annual Santa Surf at Towan Beach in aid of the RNLI, The Wave Project and Surfers Against Sewage.

Lots of elves joined in the fun as well.

Most surfers lost their hats in the surf but had a great time enjoying the festive occasion.

Mike Young, the owner of Escape Surf School, said: “It’s a coming together of old and new friends around this festive part of the season.

“It was really lovely to see everyone come out and really kickstart this very festive Newquay Christmas.”
