Prepare for a water spectacle like no other, as the Z Manu World Champs hits New Zealand this summer!
The Z Manu World Champs will be a grand celebration of a beloved kiwi pastime - the Manu or (dive) bomb, perfected by enthusiasts at wharves, pools and secret spots throughout the country. No one Manus like Kiwis and the Z Manu World Champs aims to prove it this summer!
The Z Manu World Champs are coming to Auckland with two official qualification weekends at Karanga Plaza on Saturday 15 & Sunday 16 February and again on Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 February, followed by the Final on Saturday 1 March.
Finalists will be making waves at Karanga Plaza in the Viaduct Harbour, with an impressive purpose-built jump tower to find 40 finalists across the two qualifying weekends.
Keen to rock up and just have some fun on the tower?
