The footage, shared on professional surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer's Instagram account, showed the Duke of Sussex navigating a six-foot artificial wave.
The Surf Ranch, located over 100 miles from the ocean in Leemore, features a man-made wave that stretches for up to 2,300 feet.
It is renowned as the world's finest artificial wave and holds the distinction of being the only one accredited by the World Surf League for elite-level competitions.
Van Bastolaer, renowned for his surfing in Tahiti, shared the video with a warm caption: "In Tahiti, we still call you Prince Harry.

The duke has also struck up a strong bond with 11-time World Champion Kelly Slater.
The trio were spotted together at last year's Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.
This camaraderie may surprise some, given Slater's previous criticism of Harry and Meghan following their 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview.
