Virgen de Guadalupe rides a short board? WHAT? The massive 10X10 mosiac is a perfect match for the surfer town of Encinitas. Sure Oceanside has the Surf Museum with history and memorabilia, but a no one has a Surfing Madonna, except Encinitas. If you first caught it under the overpass back in 2011, it's got a new permanent home between Café Ipe and Surfy Surfy. Save the Ocean is a powerful original title, but Surfing Madonna is more accurate. Mark Patterson put it up super sneaky dressed as construction workers. It stayed there under the radar for months before the city caught wind and fined him. It was taken down, reclaimed and now has a permanent home for all to see. As a Catholic I may not agree with the interpretation, but I see the validity in the artwork and the message and the intention. If you are from Encinitas or have spent time down here, you'll realize it kind of suits them. It became a bit of a tourist attracting and it's a nice little landmark and seeing what the city is doing to destroy Moonlight it's a bit of silver lining.
