Very nice kid. You really show what sailing is: hard work and a lot of fun. Keep going!

I grew up as a kid watching this in my first sailing years and now im 10 years older

[@johnschramm5872]

You rock! Sail that Opti like you stole it. Sailing A, gives you props, as do I.

[@BLAKEBENTZEN]

Hi Owen, you need to be more proactive with easing your sheet also sheeting out just a bit at the top of the waves so you don't skid sideways as much. Just a tip, great sailing though!

[@owentimms7930]

Thanks blake!! That is one of the things in heavy air that I need to work on

[@carolineriley508]

[@007salimost]

Excellent work

[@timmit3579]

I've thought of Opti's as sailing on a bar of Ivory soap cake... But they can do more than I can say...

[@kataang4320]

I was the only one today that had the Opti today the rest had cubes and excites. Your transitions from starport and port were way better than mine I got a face full of the boom Lol

[@lnpgamer2698]

i do a bit of opti sailing in duniden harbor 15 knots a least!

[@marvincolgin]

Now that's a sailor! WTG! Helicopter Parents: There's a chase boat, PFD, dry-suit and he's packing positive inflation, that kid can rip it up all day long without anybody worrying.

[@mikewheelock9215]

Hi

[@ProteinStyleAnimalStyle]

Really nice, but I don't like it when they speed up the video without saying. Check out 2:00, and you will see what I mean.

[@burningflame5527]

agjtsoftley this video isn’t sped up. Optis on a reach can get pretty fast when it’s blowing.

[@jakes.4147]

i have done the same thing but i was only 8

[@lettuce4579]

Doubt that u even new how to hike 😂

[@kovacsakos9221]

I don't know why is this "extreme" Its just a little wind. I sailed on a lot of bigger wind. But good video

[@505KP]

Love watching anyone having a good time ripping it up, but 26-30kts? Nah. 15-17 tops. Reaching always looks fast. Good work though.

[@trackie1957]

Great sailing, but another sailing video with annoying music. I’d rather hear the wind and water.

[@_mr._moocow_4690]

This is not extreme

[@Sam-hd9cj]

there is nothing extreme about optis

[@moefoemonkey]

lol "extreme" opti sailing, optis are the least extreme boats in the world

[@wodkawhatelse8781]

no if you've ever sat in an opti i'll have another opinion.

[@sstreakzzzz]

Max extreme Opti sailing doesn’t mean extreme sailing buddy

[@mikewheelock9215]
