We saw Kiwis Fly at the Z Manu World Champs Finals!

💦 WE'RE IN THE MOOD FOR A MANU! 💦

The Z Manu World Champs are bringing kiwis from all across the country to celebrate the beloved Kiwi staple (haha excuse the pun) – the Manu or (dive) bomb.💦

Being executed, and popped, by enthusiasts at wharves, pools, and secret spots throughout the country... the Manu embraces Kiwi ingenuity at its peak! 💙

 🌊👋 Check out this Manu Wave 👋🌊

No one Manus like Kiwis do and the Z Manu World Champs has proved it this summer. The event has traveled across the country to Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton and Auckland.🐳

Tamariki / Kids, Rangatahi / Youth, and Pakeke / Adults have had their shot at 1-metre, 2-metre, 3-metre, 5-metre and 7-metre platforms to prove themselves worthy of the WORLD MANU CHAMPION title!

The Styles

🧨 Te Manu (The V Bomb): The most popular of bombs.  Where the bum hits the water first followed by the arms and legs in a ‘V’ shape.

🖇️ Te Tēpara (The Staple): A true classic and iconic bomb style entering hands and feet first.

🦍 Te Korirā (The Gorilla): Like a powerful gorilla plunging in head and shoulders first, a force to be reckoned with.

⚰️ Te Kāwhena (The Coffin): A daring feet-first drop with a subtle lean back, creating a wider splash canvas.

💣 Te Pōro Repo (The Cannonball): A massive jump with arms holding the knees tight against the chest … cannonbaaaaaaaaaaall!
