This is on the UK forum, but I think Xeno got confused and this invite is to you:

To this I say that I GREATLY enjoy introducing people to the rowing stroke that was taught to me by the late Harry Mahon (NZ) and Marty Aitken (AUS).

I would like to extend an invitation to those who would like to come visit us here in Costa Mesa. If you are interested you should organize a trip to come row here and do some sightseeing. Today we had a lovely day with mild temperatures. Our city is right next to Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and Huntington Beach. LA is 45 minutes by car (no traffic), San Diego 70 minutes. And as I can see at the top of this page there is an AD for flights to LA. Universal Studios is a few minutes away and you can jump on the Backstage Tour and drive up Wisteria Lane from Desperate Housewifes. Yes, I watch that show. We also watch Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel with Mike Rowe, etc.

Hello Alissa, Bob, and Michael.

I found your post through google words.

First of all, I would like to thank you Alissa and Bob for saying very supportive things about me. I greatly enjoy working with everyone when given the opportunity.

Michael, great that you started rowing. If you find a flight give me a call and we can do a training session with Video of your rowing, it will be great.

Also the other tool is the indoor rowing Dvds that I have for sale. You can find them either on EBAY or directly through my website.

Also, I just blogged on indoor-rowing.blogspot.com a summary of my former rowing coaches technique.

All the best,
XENO

Thank you for the invitation, but I am unlikely to be able to get away. I did however order three of your DVDs through your website. I have not received them yet, hope to soon.
