Virgin of Guadalupe Surfin Safari

December 11, 2012 — Encinitas, Kook, surf, surf's up, Virgin of Guadalupe

I was lucky enough to see the surfing virgin in person during her brief stay on an underpass in Encintas, CA.  She was perfect there, just a few blocks from Moonlight Beach.  She was removed and I think she went to LA to a collection.  There was a great uproar to save the art work, but alas she was taken from the site. Tomorrow is the 12 Dec, Virgin of Guadalupe day.  I know all her fans at the beach wish she still had a shrine they could see every day in Encinitas.

During the protest the Kook at Cardiff was dressed in her image to show solidarity.  If you enjoy costuming and are not familiar with the Kook, you can check his calendar here.
