• Magic Carpet Ride or Cardiff “Kook” is the creation of Matthew Antichevich.<br />

Since its debut, local surfers have deemed it a “kook”, which refers to a first<br />

time or beginner surfer. This wonderful statue, along the west side of<br />

Highway 101 across from Chesterfield Drive, becomes an unlikely attraction<br />

when a 15-foot-tall papier mache shark appears to devour the “Kook.”<br />

Costumes <strong>and</strong> props are now a common sight. Cleverly outfitted for<br />

birthdays, graduations, special events <strong>and</strong> political satire, the “Kook” has<br />

worn it all. The “Kook” is featured in many publications around the world,<br />

including the front page of the Wall Street Journal.<br />

• <strong>Encinitas</strong> Preservation Association (EPA) is formed <strong>and</strong> closes escrow on the<br />

iconic Boathouses for $1.55 million in May. It is touted as a “public trust of<br />

preservation” by the <strong>Encinitas</strong> Historical Society <strong>and</strong> Downtown <strong>Encinitas</strong><br />

Mainstreet Association. The City of <strong>Encinitas</strong> use a developer’s fee of $631,538 as<br />

the down payment designated as affordable housing. Plans commence to place<br />

these iconic boats on the National Register of Historic Places. The E Clampus<br />

Vitus organization partners with EPA to assist with the historical bronze plaque.<br />
