Learn to Surf and Stand-up Paddleboard or improve your current skill level with the Isle of Wight’s fully equipped Premium Mobile Surf Academy, Eddies Surf Academy.
Originally a sport reserved only for Hawaiian royalty, surfing is thought to have made its way to Hawaii from the Polynesian Islands around the middle of the 18th Century but, it is likely been around since the 6th Century.
Surfing has come a long way since it first gained popularity as a lifestyle symbol in the mid 1800's, and you too can enjoy the sport of royalty on a beautiful Island.
All lessons are taught by Eddie from Eddie’s Surf Academy. He is originally from South Africa, as a South African Team Member he surfed competitively on a national and international level. He competed in many events over the years and gained a wealth of experience and knowledge.
Eddies Surf Academy offer priority booking for our Royal Hotel guests and an extra 30mins of surfing lesson time

We are ideally situated for your golf break with golf courses within a few miles of The Royal Hotel.
Sandown & Shanklin Golf Club - Arguably the nicest course on the island. A James Braid course that guarantees to provide an exceptional challenge for high and low handicappers alike. The course measures 5,984 yards (from the white tees), par 70 for men and 5,426 yards, par 72 for ladies and is a challenging and enjoyable test for any level of golfer. The superb drainage makes play possible for 52 weeks of the year.
Osborne Golf Club - Osborne Golf Club is situated in the grounds of the magnificent Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. The club offers a 9 hole golf course of 6358 yards from the Championship tees. It is a parkland course with several woods and copses with views out over the Solent. Osborne Golf Club is noted for its Red Squirrels which may be seen at various places round the course.
Westridge Golf Club - The centre comprises a fully covered floodlit driving range powered by Toptracer and Power Tee, with a large putting green and practice bunker.
Ventnor Golf Club - The closest of these is Ventnor Golf Course, in a very pleasant downland and cliff-top setting with probably the finest views on the Island. Providing panoramic vistas over the surrounding countryside and English Channel. It is unusual in that it is a twelve hole course, alternative tee boxes on several holes providing variation on the back nine. The overall length is approximately 5700 yards, SSS 68 par 70. Enjoyable and challenging to both low and high handicap players.
A whole day's fun in one.
