Santa’s reindeer get him lots of places, but sometimes, the big guy needs to swap Donner and Blitzen for a standup paddleboard. The annual Santa Paddle encourages paddlers to turn up in Santa suits for a group paddle across Portland Harbor and perhaps a stop on Portland’s waterfront for a hot drink. PFDs and winter wetsuits required.
