Any tips for this? The stuff is quite expensive, and you don't seem to get a great deal for doing the daily activity etc. Just for a swimsuit it's 500-750, then the same again or double for the floaters, then there's pets and surf boards. Not to mention abilities and equipment. Just how exactly are you supposed to grind this stuff without spending a completely unreasonable amount of time there?

If you can get good at a route on the Horg'hn thingy hunt there is time during that event to run 4-5 characters through it (it's 15 mins long). You need a fairly fast floater but once you know all the locations you can have a set route you use every time for maximum efficiency and fast collection.
The hunt nets you over 100 lolnuts each so it's the fastest way i think.
Dance compo gets you 100 but takes 15 mins or so and it not terribly efficient use of time. Good for messing about though.
Scavenger hunt is a pain in the arse, just ignore it unless you somehow enjoy it and get good at it. It's just not a quick event or easy to master (if that's even possible).
Flying high now gives 50 lolnuts per run with a 30 min cooldown i think. Might be handy for doing it twice an hour if possible, it's fairly fast.
Any lolnuts you earn can just be mailed to other toons and you can always buy then on the exchange which may actually be a better use of your resources compared to the time you need to farm them.

15 minute cooldown on Flying High.
The Artifact Hunt can be done in right around 2 minutes once you kind of memorize the burial sites. It is also a 15 minute activity so you can run several alts through it. And it has a 15 minute cooldown. Just make sure you don't step on the Bonus Favors run of it.
Finding a low body count Instance can make even the Powerboard race worth running. Don't bother with an Impulsive Board. An Elite is better because it handles so much better. (Unless you've had practice drifting an Impulsive Board.)
But your best bet is Flying High. every 15 minutes, and the Hor'Gorn Hunt, and maybe throw in the Sand Castle building - also every 15 minutes. I do the Dance Party, but that's because I'm odd.
This is not something you're supposed to do in an afternoon. This IS a grind.
Your other option is to wait until the hype cools off and just buy Nutty Favors on the Exchange. They should be under 10,000 EC each by now.

If it is your first summer event, the first big things to buy are an elite powerboard and impulsive floater. It will make subsequent favor farming much faster. The impulsive powerboards are only a little faster but handle much worse, so you can often outsurf them on an elite.
The other thing you can do if you have alts is to gear up a couple with decent floaters and switch and rerun the horga'hn and artifact hunts during a single timeslot. I've managed to push 4 alts through a single horga'hn timeslot, which is around 400 favors in about 15 minutes time if you want to really set yourself up to farm them. Flying high nets you 50 favors and has only a 15 min cooldown, so it is a nice filler between events that only takes a few minutes with a fast floater and you can snag another 20 from sand castle building. The dance contest nets you 100 and is easy as well.
The only challenges are really the powerboard and biathlon events. A win nets you 75 favors, but the prizes drop quickly and going off-course gets you disqualified with no reward.

I've done the summer event before, however I only ever really bothered to get a basic floater and board (green rarity), and a swimsuit. I'm a sucker for outfits etc so I wanted to grind that first lol.
I'll have a go again today, see if I can make a rotation that earns a decent amount. I like to build the sandcastles, that's fairly quick and straight forward for easy profit.

Two small tips that might be helpful:
There is a pretty good board you can get from the phoenix vendor (very rare iirc).
The Risian tribble gives a small flight speed bonus. Not much, but if you spend a lot of time grinding, every little bit helps.
