Well, how do I put this? My name is Derrick Zoolander and I am a professional male model. I want to start a school for people who can’t surf good and want to learn how to surf gooder. Therefore with the help of my colleague and manager Matt Anticivich, he made this life size statue of me surfing. I still believe it needs to be a least 3 times as big.
Ok, all kidding aside about two years ago in the summer I was approached by a friend who asked me to model for him for this surfing statue he was creating. I thought it was cool and excited to help, but I really had no idea the reality of the situation. This past weekend the statue was unveiled and Matt’s masterpiece came to life. What can I say, Matt is a true artist just look at the detail. The statue is right next to PCH (Pacific Coast Hwy) in Encinitas (above San Diego).
"Channel 8 News!" I was a little nervous and by "little" i mean sweating profusely.
