The hugely successful Mayo Mayhem Windsurfing event which was due to take place this weekend has been postponed to the following weekend.
The hugely successful Mayo Mayhem Windsurfing event which was due to take place this weekend has been postponed to the following weekend of October 3-5. Unfortunately conditions this weekend were not ideal with light or no winds forecast and an unfavourable wind direction. Organiser Malcolm Scott has noted there is a big weather system approaching next weekend which should allow for three days of top-class conditions and windsurfing.
Mayo Mayhem, powered by RWE, is Ireland’s premier windsurfing event. The competition will take place either on the Belmullet Peninsula or Achill Island in County Mayo, depending on wind direction. Returning as a 3-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.
This is a really cool fun-filled event with enormous community backing that organiser Malcolm Scott works incredibly hard for. It’s always a visual spectacle, as athletes compete against massive waves in storm force winds. 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.
