Speed Windsurfing is a high-adrenaline sport where participants try to reach the fastest speeds possible on a windsurfing board. Competitors harness the power of the wind, usually a LOT of wind, and then use their skills and experience to navigate the board at very high speeds across often very shallow and flat water.

Speed sailing requires a skill combination of strength, power, equipment setup, the right conditions and a good dose of luck! Speeds of approximately 55 knots (more than 100kph) are now possible, making this an extremely thrilling and challenging discipline.

Skilled riders who push themselves to break speed records and reach new personal bests, drive the evolution of windsurfing as a competitive and exhilarating pursuit.

Ireland has some world class athletes, and some world class locations to enjoy when the weather conditions are suitable.
