As the story goes, Santa flies around the world in his sleigh drawn by nine reindeer. He slides down chimneys, leaves gifts for children and enjoys milk and cookies.

In Kenner, LA. Santa is in the sand.

Theoretically, at least. 

Every December, Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss (“TKN”) have hosted a charity tournament to raise money to provide Christmas gifts for families in need.

Kloth and Nuss are currently the No. 1 women’s beach volleyball team in the country and are representing the U.S.A. in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Even though the Olympic qualifying process has them traveling around the world for tournaments, not to mention practicing long hours daily, giving back to the people of Louisiana remains a priority for the duo.
