A bronze surfer statue near San Diego that’s been the target of many gags has been hit again. Unknown pre-dawn pranksters constructed an elaborate scene of a pterodactyl seemingly about to pluck the sculpture of a young surfer off his board on Saturday. The pranksters placed a painted backdrop of a volcanic eruption behind the surfer statue. Crowds of gawkers and photographers gathered around the 16-foot creation after the sun rose. Last year someone surrounded the roadside statue in Cardiff-by-the-Sea with a papier-mâché model of a great white shark that appeared to be swallowing it whole. The statue has been adorned with bras, skirts and witch hats so often that locals have come to call it “The Cardiff Kook.” The $120,000 sculpture called “Magic Carpet Ride” has been slammed by local surfers who criticize the boy’s pose as too awkward.
