Ballyhass Lakes in Mallow becomes the beating heart of Irish wakeboarding as the IWWF Irish Wakeboarding Nationals 2025 roar into action this weekend, 29–31 August.
Ireland’s best riders, including international pro and Cork native David O’Caoimh, along with national champions Nicole Carroll and Aisling Deegan, will throw down their biggest tricks in a weekend of speed, power and style.
The Nationals aren’t just for hardcore fans. Thanks to support from Red Bull, the lakeside will be buzzing with festival vibes: free entry for spectators, €5 adventure activities, and €2 swim sessions across the weekend. Add in barista coffee, pizza, and the Ballyhass atmosphere, and you’ve got the ultimate summer send-off.
Whether you’re a wakeboarding regular or a first-time spectator, this is high-octane sport at its most spectator-friendly, right here in North Cork.
