Ken Whiting Emailed Me.

The title says it all. Our heartfelt plea to Ken to return to his former glory as freestyle champion generated not only some small controversy regarding the plausibility of a Whiting comeback and his ability to do cartwheels on a wave, but also an email from the great man himself. Here is a dramatic re-enactment of me opening my gmail account to and finding a letter in it from the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. Ken Whiting:



In his letter to me, Ken noted that he was flying under the radar up in Canada, was non-comittal about attempting a freestyle comeback in '07 (though he did thank us for helping to provide "inspirado"), and further confirmed that he is not only the best instructor working these days, but also has a great sense of humor and is an all-around class act.
Though Dan and I are both a little baffled about what to do now after completing a life goal of making contact with Ken Whiting, a few of the projects that are in the works for AE is Elliot's Vancouver Island Trip, Dan's exploration of his new home turf, the Columbia River Gorge, a Halloween Extravaganza, and Patrol Season Countdown.

You're the Man, Ken!
