Our town Encinitas, has a traffic sign for surf crossings. It’s a picture of a surfer carrying a surfboard. Whttp://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/W...H_Encinitas_CA

We we are also famous for the Cardiff kook statue which is a hated statue of a boy learning to surf. People dress it up all the time. The first time they put shark fins leading up to the statue that got closer and closer each day. Then one day the statue was engulfed by a shark with the boys body sticking out of his mouth.

We also have the beautiful Surfing Madonna mosaic that the artist stealthily put up on a train underpass. The town made him take it down. He put it up on a nearby restaurant wall. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfing_Madonna

One of our beaches, Swamis was mentioned in The Beach Boys song Surfing USA. We boogie board there.

Surfing is all around!


I am enjoying seeing and reading about your local sites.
