🌊 Mayo Mayhem 2025 – Powered by RWE 🌬️
We’re thrilled to announce that Mayo Mayhem is back for its 8th edition! Bursting with energy and excitement, this year’s event is once again a 3-star ranked WWT/PWA World Wave Tour competition — one of the biggest windsurfing events in Ireland.
📅 When:
September 26–28, 2025 (Friday–Sunday) The event coincides with the Battle for the Lake Watersports & Music Festival – a weekend of action on and off the water! battleforthelake.com If conditions aren't contestable, we'll roll over to the backup weekend: October 3–5. (Friday–Sunday).If neither weekend work we will consider a date later in the year .
📍 Where:
Final location (either Achill Island or Belmullet area) will be announced the Wednesday before the event, based on forecasts. We aim to minimize travel and maximize conditions — from side-on ramps to clean down-the-line perfection. Expect the possibility of both Port and Starboard tack action!
🧭 Who:
We’re running three fleets:
• Gold
• Silver
• Women’s
We aim for two days of competition plus one day for expression sessions, instruction, or just fun.
• Top 22 seeded riders go straight to the main event.
• Bottom 8 seeds enter a challengers’ round to claim 2 remaining spots.
• If conditions allow 2–3 days of heats, we may open more challenger places – so get on the list!
Women may be seeded into Gold or Silver fleets, or if numbers allow, a dedicated Women’s fleet will be run (TBC closer to the event).
