The Z Manu World Champs, offering $30,000 worth of cash and prizes plus bragging rights, is inspiring us to make a splash. There are five official techniques accepted in the world championships: Te Manu (The V Bomb), Te Tēpara (The Staple), Te Korirā (The Gorilla), Te Kāwhena (The Coffin) and Te Pōro Repo (The Cannonball). “Murrays Bay Wharf and Lake Pupuke Jetty are two of my childhood favourite places to manu. Jono’s favourite manu spots are Jellie Park and Lake Rua in Christchurch, Moana Pool in Dunedin, Caroline Bay Trust Aoraki Centre in Timaru and Nayland Park Pool in Nelson. Your mates can call 111 if you get into trouble and it’s nice to have someone to show off your moves to.”Registrations are now open for the Z Manu World Champs.
