They’ll probably pay a million for it, and Cardiff can use the money to apologize to all San Diego surfers by purchasing the break at Barra for exclusive use (violators will be stoned) by San Diegans for (gets out calculator, at 20 grand a week…) almost a year!!
Let em put it up! Maybe enough people will see it and decide that surfing looks way too (insert derogatory term of choice here) and choose golf or something instead…
STORY ON CH.8 TONIGHT AT 5PM AND 6:30PM ABOUT SURFER REACTION TO CARDIFF STATUE. I’m a photographer for Ch. 8 and some of the pictures posted on this site of the statue are from video I shot yesterday at the unveiling. It aired a couple times yesterday and we are working on a follow up today taking the angle of dissatisfied surfers. Check it out and it will be available on http://www.cbs8.com after it airs as well.

July 19, 2007Yeah, the statue would look better wearing one of those skating outfits. The problem would be keeping it dressed overnight.
