Z Manu World Champs Official Qualifier

A person is mid-air performing a cannonball-style dive into a swimming pool, wearing patterned shorts. In the background, several spectators stand near a metal fence, some in swimwear. The scene takes place outdoors with trees and parked vehicles visible behind the fence. Bold text on the left reads “Z MANU WORLD CHAMPS WHANGĀREI” in red and yellow. On the top right, there is a black circular logo with “Z MANU WORLD CHAMPS” in yellow and “OFFICIAL QUALIFIER” on a yellow ribbon.

The Whangārei Styles Comp is an official qualifier for the 2026 Z Manu World Champs!

On Saturday 17 January at Whangārei Aquatic Centre, we’re set to find eight 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.

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 with Tip Top’s Shoot to Scoop, Snickers Ball and Burger King’s Manus for Manus, so bring the crew and make a day of it.

Come watch, give it a go, or just jump on in and sign up!

Accessibility information: Wheelchair access, accessible parking, accessible toilet.
