This striking photograph captures a group of Honolulu's legendary Waikiki "Beachboys" in the 1930s, assembled in front of their long surfboards on the sands of Waikiki Beach, adjacent to the iconic Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The image offers a rare window into a formative moment in Hawaii's resort-era history, when the Beachboys played a central role in shaping the tourist experience — offering surf lessons, outrigger canoe rides, and embodying the spirit of aloha that greeted early visitors from around the world.
