Really? Robbie Naish, amazing windsurfer dude, Hawaii and all that. Try Google.


It was a typo based attempt at humour ... failed ...

We never doubted your opinion of yourself for a second.  A textbook case of self-delusion.


Is it just arrogance?

Robbie Naish used to be God.

Then he took up Stand Up Paddle boarding and became just a mortal legend.

Even when presented with evidence contradicting their delusions, they will still cling to their erroneous beliefs. The term is sometimes used by people to refer to someone who exaggerates the amount beach toy races they actually won and importance that he or she has, but this downplays the seriousness of an actual medical diagnosis.


Characteristics

When a person has delusions of grandeur, he may believe that he has extraordinary powers or is famous, often they will refer back to previous failures as success. Some people with this condition think they are famous historical figures; the mentally ill person who thinks he is Robbie Nash may be one of the most common Y&Y Forum references to this delusion. Patients who firmly possess such unrealistic beliefs may eventually harm themselves physically, mentally, or emotionally. A person who thinks he has special powers, for example, might design his own boat because he genuinely believes he knows better. These episodes typically end in abject failures.</span>



Never a truer word have you spoken.

What GRF does is 
By talking 

Resulting in   and more   

Making anyone sane feel like   

We probably ought to   and let him wallow in his 

But at some point he can be relied upon to do this to himself 

But still fail to realise what he has actually received is a good

... anyway if you want to accept his continuous rubbishing of dinghy sailing then continue to encourage him ...
