Aloha Robert,

Thanks very much for that. I've just contacted Vejas.

I must confess that I'm suffering a bit of a disappointment. I found someoen
through the web who replied to my inquiry if I could aks questions about
tandem surfing. There is nothing, absolutely nothing friends, worse than
someoen telling you they'd be happy to answer questions...and then when you
send a list of questions, they reply back with a link to a book they read
and a few words about how there's a chapter on what I'd like to know in it.
Nothing is more disappointing.

I had explained to this gentleman that I didn't want to learn from books. I
wanted to talk to an actual person. Sigh. Oh well. I am disappointed by what
happened, but not surprised. I've had this happen to me more times than I
can remember. Maybe I'm just goingabout my approach all wrong?

Happy Saturday.
Natalie
