Warner said the suit wasn't necessarily designed to be surfed in but the coat and hat weren't difficult if the waves were "nice and friendly" like they were this morning.
He said he was joined by a few of his mates and the group would dress up and head down to the beach in a walking bus and catch a wave.
Warner planned to end the day the way he started, with a surf. However, it the Santa suit may still be drying out by then.
