Thoughts with Elliott Bennet

Recommended Posts

[quote user="nutty nigel"]I feel for him Sparto! But what about poor old Snoddy on hols in the Lake District.....[/quote]

I think I spotted him wind surfing on Windermere the other day - this chap kept falling off his board then all you could hear was a lot of Glaswegian complaining about how the wind had caught him out, how a piece of dfriftwood had got in the way,  how the wake of a passing boat had tipped him off balance, how the board was not the right length, how the sail was not the right shape,  how the onlookers deriding and laughing at him had made it worse.  To cap it all, he got so fed up with his own board that he went up to another wind surfer, pushed them off their board and went off on his own with it.

But to his credit, he worked hard and kept going.........[;)]

I think we have to be fair to Mr. Snodgrass. This would have been early doors activity since his last training under Hughton. Therefore, Lakey, if you spotted Robert in the water it''s likely he still is under the Hughton influence and would not have ventured more than three feet from the shoreline before turning back.

Mmm, he did used to tack and gybe up and down the right wing falling over fairly frequently didn''t he? I hadn''t taken the wind factor into consideration until now...
