Real Adventures, Real Aloha!

Nearly twenty years ago, Surfrider Spirit Sessions was founded on a radical idea: sentencing kids to surfing when surfing wasn’t even part of schools or youth development programs. What began as an experiment became proof—surfing, paired with consistent mentorship, builds confidence, connection, and belonging.

Royal Adventures is the next evolution of that work. Through this social enterprise venture, we’re extending ocean and cultural education beyond our programs and into the broader community while generating sustainable support for Hawaii youth.

Founded in Partnership

Royal Adventures celebrated its soft launch on December 8, 2025, made possible through strong, values-aligned community partnerships. We are proud to collaborate with the Waikiki Beach Boys Association (also known as Star Beach Boys Waikiki), whose deep roots in ocean stewardship and cultural knowledge help shape every experience.

We are also grateful to be based at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa, located on the historic grounds of Prince Kuhio’s former estate. Together, these partnerships ensure Royal Adventures remains locally grounded, culturally respectful, and directly supportive of youth programs in Hawaii.

Royal Adventures is an example of regenerative tourism—designed to deepen connection to ocean, culture, and place while giving back to the community that makes these experiences possible.

Proceeds from Royal Adventures directly support Surfrider Spirit Sessions’ youth programs and help strengthen opportunities for local community members. In this way, every experience contributes to a cycle of care, stewardship, and impact.
