Welcome to Z Manu World Champs in Hastings!
The HASTINGS MANU COMP is once again an OFFICIAL QUALIFIER for the 2027 Z Manu World Champs!
On Saturday 12 December, at Havelock North Village Pool, we’re set to find 8 finalists across the Manu and Old Skool divisions, who will go head-to-head at the Grand Final in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 April 2027.
Get ready for an action-packed day of epic bombs, big splashes and all-round good vibes.
As well as the main comp, we’ve got two Push Play sessions where anyone can give it a go, whether you’re keen to try your first Manu or just want to jump in for the fun of it.
There’ll be giveaways and games throughout the day, including Burger King’s Manus for Manus, Tip Top’s Shoot to Scoop, and the always-popular Snickers Ball challenge.
Come watch, give it a go, or just jump on in and sign up!
Proudly brought to you by Hastings District Council.
