Pterodactyl sweeps down on Cardiff Kook


A crowd forms around the latest decoration of the statue in Encinitas. — Charlie Neuman


ENCINITAS — The Cardiff Kook wouldn't fare too well in prehistoric days, it seems.

On Saturday, Cardiffians woke up to perhaps the most spectacular prank to ever haunt the $120,000 statue of a bronze boy learning to surf, officially called "Magic Carpet Ride." It's a full dinosaur scene, with the centerpiece being a pterodactyl sweeping down to lift the surfer off his board and perhaps into oblivion.

The question now is, who did it? A group of pranksters led by Cardiff resident Eric Hardtke are famous for the two most elaborate outfits, a papier-mache shark and a large wave swallowing the surfer boy. Carlsbad street artist Bryan Snyder recently dressed the statue as Vincent Van Gogh in honor of the impressionist's birthday.

We're working on finding out. Snyder, reached Saturday, said he "couldn't take credit" for the outfit. An e-mail has been sent to Hardtke, and a call placed to Cardiff resident Cyrus Sutton, who knows Hardtke and photographed the installation in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

The surfer statue, built by Hemet artist Matthew Antichevich, has been derided by the local surf community since its unveiling in 2007. The piece is supposed to depict a boy learning to surf to honor Encinitas as a place with waves suited to beginners. But local surfers criticized the boy's pose as effeminate and awkward, and the costumes began appearing almost immediately after its completion.
