Prince Harry has taken up a surprising new hobby—surfing! In an unexpected twist, a video shared by surfing instructor Raimana Van Bastolaer shows Harry catching some waves at Kelly Slater Surf Ranch in California. The clip captures Harry as he paddles out to greet a wave, stands confidently on his board, and rides the wave with impressive balance. It looks like this royal has found a new passion!
This clip of the prince skillfully riding the waves in California might catch some royal enthusiasts off guard, but it’s not his debut on a surfboard. Harry was previously seen body surfing in Cornwall with his brother, Prince William, back in 2012.
Since relocating to California with his wife, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry has been embracing the outdoors. A neighbor shared with The Telegraph last month that he’s often seen strolling along the beach with his Labrador or cycling while his security team follows in a Range Rover.
As a co-founder of the Invictus Games, Harry has consistently championed the transformative power of sports. In a recent promotional video, he emphasized, “Sport has the ability to heal, to change lives, and to save lives.”
