- Cardiff_Kook abstract "The Magic Carpet Ride is the official name of a 16-foot (4.9 m) high bronze statue of a surfer in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California, that locals have nicknamed The Cardiff Kook, a name by which it has come to be known. The statue was commissioned by the Cardiff Botanical Society, and created by artist Matthew Antichevich, who is an Encinitas surfer and a teacher at Mount San Jacinto College, at a cost of approximately $120,000. It is mounted on a granite pedestal and stands by the side of the Pacific Coast Highway, next to the San Elijo State Beach campground. The $92,000 construction costs of the statue were raised by the Botanical Society, with the $30,000 installation costs met by the city of Encinitas. On the statue base are plaques upon which are recorded the names of the major donors who contributed to the Botanical Society for the erection of the statue, including Marion Ross.The statue was intended to depict a surfer performing a "(backside) floater", but the Botanical Society ran out of money, and thus the statue is missing any actual surf. Antichevich was chosen from more than 50 bidders on the commission. His original design was in fact to be a female surfer on a breaking wave, but there was not the money for that, either, and the Botanical Society opted for a male surfer on a granite plinth, halving the amount of bronze required. Other proposed designs that were discussed with the Botanical Society included the figure of professional surfer Rob Machado and a surfer on a longboard. The Kook is intended, according to the artist and to Michael Ames Clark, the then chairman of the Botanical Society's selection committee, to represent the joy and awkwardness of a boy novice learning how to surf, in acknowledgement of the area's attraction for novice surfers.".
