Welcome to Z Manu World Champs in Hastings!
The HASTINGS MANU COMP is once again an OFFICIAL QUALIFIER for the 2026 Z Manu World Champs!
On Saturday 6 December, at Havelock North Village Pool, we’re set to find 8 finalists across the Manu and Freestyle divisions, who will go head-to-head at the Grand Final in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, on Saturday 14 March 2026.
