Prince Harry caught on camera taking lesson with pro surfer
Prince Harry has been spotted in an unlikely location – in the middle of some gnarly waves!

The caption of the October 16 video read, "In tahiti, we still call you Prince harry but at Prince harry ranch, it's my Brother,. It was an honor to have you surf with me," wrote Van Bastolaer.
The minute-long video showed Harry mid-surfing lesson, wearing a dark swimming top and shorts and hopping off the boat and into the waves as Van Bastolaer provided instruction and encouragement.
"Get up, move up," the Tahitian surf pro advised the royal, whooping as the Prince also raised his hands in celebration.
He also yelled out "Love you brother," and "Keep going" to the Duke of Sussex.
The video ends on an action shot of the 40-yeaar-old inside the tunnel of a wave, which the coach shared to his Instagram account with the caption, "Pretty deep brother Harry."
Harry has long been involved with surfing, with he and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex involved with Aussie charity OneWave, which uses surfing as a way to promote mental health.

The couple joined the charity's "anti-bad vibe circle" on the sands of Bondi beach when they visited in 2018, with director Sam Schumacher telling People that the royal touched on his own mental health struggles at the time.
"Basically he showed us that actually opening up and talking about your emotions is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness," Schumacher said, "And the sooner you can do that, it actually helps you so much. That was the thing that helped him so much."
