The Z Manu World Champs

Join us for an epic qualification weekend at Karanga Plaza in the Viaduct Harbour:

Thursday 18 March to Sunday 21 March 2027
Grand Final: Saturday 3 April & Sunday 4 April 2027

We’ll be taking over the waterfront with a purpose-built jump tower to find 40 finalists across the qualifying weekend. Expect big bombs, big energy, and big crowds as we hunt for the next Z Manu World Champ.

We’re celebrating everything we love about our connection to the water, and that includes you.

Push Play sessions over the weekend so anyone can give it a go – whether it’s your first Manu or your fiftieth.

Giveaways and games all day long including:
Burger King’s Manus for Manus
Tip Top’s Shoot to Scoop
Snickers Ball Challenge

Whether you’re here to watch, to cheer, or to send it off the tower yourself — this is the place to be.

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