Ed usually travels with his fan base, typically a group of about 12 girls, all scantily dressed, generally cheering his every move and break atop the waves. Personally, I don't know what they see in Ed. Sure, he flexes his guns and broadens his back as he manhandles that kite, and sure, his head is clean and shaven, and without questions he flies like Superman and has the endurance of Lance Armstrong but.... oh, well, maybe he desrves his fan base after all. And maybe I'll take up kite surfing too. Ed, do your lessons include the procurement of a fan base like the one you have? If so, sign me up! Mike
