Ananova:

A wind-surfing Santa has been arrested after strong winds took him clear across the Niagara River and into the United States.

John Fulton, of Fort Erie, Ontario, said he dons a Santa suit every Christmas season to sail across the river.

But stiff winds and strong currents pushed him to the US side of the river - and into the arms of US Border Patrol guards.

He was arrested in Buffalo and then shipped back to Canada without incident after signing a form stating that he had illegally entered the United States.
