Hiwa Manu Comp coming to O'Week!
The Hiwa Manu Competition is coming to O'Week on Tuesday 3 March, and everyone’s invited!
Running 11am–1pm, this is your chance to show off your best manu or come along and hype up your mates!
Jump In and Compete
Anyone can enter, and you get to choose your category:
Manu = Manus only (V-shape and bum first)
Style (can include the following):
- 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.
- The Staple: A true classic and iconic bomb style entering hands and feet first.
- The Gorilla: Like a powerful gorilla plunging in head and shoulders first, a force to be reckoned with.
- The Coffin: A daring feet-first drop with a subtle lean back, creating a wider splash canvas.
- The Cannonball: A massive jump with arms holding the knees tight against the chest
Or go all in and enter both.
There are prizes for the winners and spot prizes for the best vibe, so bring your confidence, your creativity, and your loudest supporters.
Register here or show up on the day!
Bringing the hype?
Spectating is totally free, and the best views are from the pool viewing area behind reception at Hiwa.
