THE EVENT

At the 6-day event, extreme adrenaline fuelled action is guaranteed as some of the world's best windsurfers come together to brave the full Atlantic furies of wind and waves off this remote and exposed island to compete in freestyle, wave jumping and supercross.

Tourism Minister, Jim Mather, commented:
"The Tiree Wave Classic not only showcases the beauty and raw power of our west coast waters but it also draws in people from all over world and shows Scotland in a exciting new light. I wish it and its competitors well.”

Paul Bush OBE, Chief Operating Officer at EventScotland, said:
"We have invested in the Tiree Wave Classic since 2003 and has supported the event during a period of growth, both in size and in popularity. The Tiree Wave Classic is now widely considered one of the best and most challenging UK sporting events and it continues to attract spectators and participants from around the world, as well as generating sensational footage for broadcast across the globe. EventScotland is confident that the competition will continue to attract world class windsurfers, enthusiastic crowds and the world’s media as we prepare for another action packed event.”
