The Cardiff Kook Celebrates Christmas 2017 The Cardiff Kook has gained some notoriety in the area since the surfing statue was first installed in Cardiff 10 years ago. The notoriety comes from the fact that it is often decorated to fit with the current holiday or in other ways – a treat for many, but something that often irritates others, including those who don’t like the statue to begin with! Or the name it's been unofficially given.  I like this Christmas offering, but I have to say my favorite, which garnered a LOT of attention, was when the Cardiff Kook celebrated the Royal Wedding. Another favorite and elaborate setting was with a pterodactyl swooping down on the statue.  The Cardiff Kook even has his own website that captures all the costuming since the beginning. Check it out to... 12/21/2017

Halloween House by the Sea  I took a photo of this very cool looking ocean-view house in Cardiff all decked out for Halloween a few years ago. The owner was standing on the deck and of course I asked permission to take a photo, and asked if I could share it. That was fine, she said, as long as she was not in it! So off she went. I haven't been by this year to see if they re still decorating or not.  10/26/2017

The Royal Kook  The Cardiff Kook (or simply The Kook), as this Cardiff by the Sea statue is affectionately called, has a somewhat controversial history, and since it's creation has gathered quite a following.  The reason?  Soon after the statue ("Magic Carpet Ride" by sculptor Matthew Antichevich) was erected in 2007 people started dressing the Kook up in all sorts of styles - here in Royal Wedding finery back in 2011 when you know who got married. You never know quite how the Kook will be dressed  - check out the Cardiff Kook's website for all the fun. 11/08/2016
