The release of the Surfing Santa stamp in 1977 drew widespread indignation from religious quarters as the subject content was considered to demean the sanctity of Christmas, however, there were others who found it appealing and amusing - simply 'fun', a reflection of the Australian larrikin spirit and lifestyle, especially during the festive season. The Block 4 in Miniature Sheet format was released in a limited edition booklet.
