WATCH: Mark Zuckerberg Keeps His July 4 Tradition Alive, Goes Surfing In A Suit & Meta Glasses

Zuckerberg accompanies his posts with true-blue American rock and country hits. This year, the Meta boss paid homage to the OG 'Boss', Bruce Springsteen, with his 1984 hit "Born in the U.S.A."

In a now-annual tradition, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of social media giant Meta, celebrated the Fourth of July with a patriotic display. This year, Zuckerberg shared a video of himself surfing while holding the American flag, sipping a beer, and donning a tuxedo. Adding to his ensemble, he wore a drippy chain necklace and a pair of Meta Ray-Bans, the company's much-hyped wearable augmented reality (AR) offering.

A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck)

A Zuck Tradition

The Meta CEO has made a habit of posting festive messages to his followers on this holiday. In previous years, he shared photos of himself engaged in various activities, such as grilling meats or surfing on an electric foiling board.

Zuck accompanies his posts with true-blue American rock and country hits, such as John Denver's "Country Roads". This year, the Meta boss paid a patriotic homage to the OG 'Boss', Bruce Springsteen, with his 1984 hit "Born in the U.S.A."

As reported by Business Insider, in the comments section of his post, Zuckerberg apparently hinted at a potential new look, mentioning he might grow out a mullet. He also reflected on his physical recovery following an ACL tear, writing, "Pure 8 month post-recovery surfing with a dry start right here."

A Far Cry From Zuck's Infamous 'Sunscreen' Look

This latest appearance is a stark contrast to his previously viral sunscreen look, where he slathered his face in sunscreen in an attempt to avoid paparazzi attention.

The effort ultimately failed but provided plenty of Internet amusement.

"That backfired," Zuckerberg said during an Instagram Live chat with the platform's head Adam Mosseri. "When you’re eFoiling down the coast of Hawaii, and it’s beautiful and it just feels like it’s awesome — and then you come back online and you see that’s the photo, that’s what you look like — it’s like, OK. Alright. That’s maybe quite a bit more sunscreen than I thought I was wearing."

However he did defend the humble sunscreen and said, "I think that sunscreen is good, and I stand behind that."
