The Papaioea PALMERSTON NORTH MANU COMP is now an OFFICIAL QUALIFIER for the 2026 Z Manu World Champs!
On Saturday 14 February at the Lido Aquatic Centre, we’re set to find 8 finalists across both the Manu and Freestyle divisions who will go head-to-head at the Grand Final in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, on Saturday 14 March 2026.
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!
