Action packed Mayo Mayhem event all set for this weekend

The event is taking place at either Keel Beach or Mulranny Beach, depending on wind direction.

The hugely successful Mayo Mayhem Windsurfing event, which was scheduled for last weekend, will now go ahead this weekend Saturday  October 4 and 5. Mayo Mayhem, powered by RWE, is Ireland’s premier windsurfing event. 

The competition will take place either on Keel Beach, Achill Island or Mulranny 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.

The Weekend Schedule is subject to change but people are advised to keep an eye on social media platforms for updates. The weekend schedule is as followed: 

  • Thursday – 5:00pm → Warm-up session @ Keel Beach
  • Friday – 9:30am → Welcome meeting @ Pure Magic Lodge, Achill
  • Friday – Daytime → Plans under review (updates to follow)
  • Saturday – Competition Day → Location: Keel or Mulranny TBC
  • Sunday – TBC → Location: Keel

The event is always a 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!
