Hugely successful Mayo Mayhem returns this month

The hugely successful Mayo Mayhem windsurfing event is scheduled for September 26 to 28 this year. Powered by RWE, Mayo Mayhem is Ireland’s premier windsurfing event.

The competition will take place either on the Belmullet Peninsula or Achill Island, depending on wind direction.

Returning as a three-star ranked world tour event, Mayo Mayhem will attract top windsurfers from Ireland and overseas to compete along the Wild Atlantic Way.

Expect a spectacular display of colour, skill, courage and adrenaline as riders battle the elements for the Mayo Mayhem 25 title.

“We like to think that Mayo Mayhem is the most fun and welcoming windsurfing competition in the world, which just also happens to have epic conditions,” said organiser Malcolm Scott.

“It was set up with the aim of giving windsurfers a great reason to meet up and have some fun while pushing their windsurfing limits.”

Mayo Mayhem is always an incredible visual spectacle as athletes compete against massive waves in storm force wind. Competitors are scored on their extreme jump and wave-riding skills, which has spectators calling it a mix of surfing and motor-cross on water!
