Where Legends Take Flight
Here’s the promise peeps. To host the most sensational World Champs your Manu has ever seen. We’re all about celebrating the art of popping Manus – the most famous bomb in the world, invented right here in Aotearoa!
This season all leads to the Grand Final on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 April at Karanga Plaza, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland CBD.
Our event is where bomb legends from all walks of life come together to make waves, take flight, and Manu into greatness. Whether you’re a popping pro or a sideline shouter, there’s a place for everyone at the Z Manu World Champs.
