Come see what we’re up to!
As we grow, so will the opportunity for the community to get involved in meaningful and impactful ways. Whether through hands-on experiences, storytelling, mentorship, or environmental stewardship, every step forward creates new avenues for connection and engagement. We’re cultivating a space where everyone contributes, learns, and is part of something bigger than themselves.

Community happens when people come together with a shared purpose, curiosity, and care. When we support one another, honor the stories that shape us, and create space for connection, learning, and growth. Community thrives through the exchange of knowledge in the rhythm with the ocean and in the joy-filled moments when we recognize ourselves in each other.

Kahākūkahi Ocean Academy Foundation is dedicated to empowering keiki (children) through ocean sports, environmental stewardship, and cultural education—at no cost to them or their families. Your donation helps us provide essential equipment, mentorship programs, ocean safety clinics, and hands-on learning experiences that foster a lifelong connection to āina (land) and kai (sea).
“I’ve been fortunate enough to gaze out at the ocean and see a playground, a place of refuge open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. At Kahākūkahi Ocean Academy, we aim to inspire our keiki to experience the ocean and feel the connection between our islands, friends, and ‘ohana across the world.”
We extend KOA curriculum into schools through Blue Life Speaking Engagements inspired by our founder’s educational film, Zane’s Deep Blue Life.
