SoCal Christ is a popular internet subversion of traditional religious iconography, blending the image of Jesus Christ with the relaxed, sun-drenched aesthetic of Southern California surf culture. Typically depicted with flowing hair, sunglasses, or a surfboard, this meme personifies the 'chill' lifestyle associated with the West Coast. It originated as a playful take on the intersection of religious devotion and the laid-back 'bro' culture found in beach towns like Huntington or Malibu. Users often employ this template to present a more approachable, humorous version of divinity who seems more concerned with catching the next big wave or grabbing a taco than traditional dogma. It is widely used in surfing communities, religious humor circles, and by those poking fun at California stereotypes.
