But Santa -- it's called Water-Skiing Santa. That is the title of this thing. It started years and years ago.The Grinch, as you see there, on this particular jet ski, is a part of this celebration. Now you see on the other side there, huge crowds turn out for this. They have been doing this the past 25 years.
