The father-of-three has been seen on multiple occasions at the local beaches teaching his children how to surf.

Chris, wife Elsa, and their three children, relocated from Los Angeles to Byron Bay, on the New South Wales coast of Australia, in 2014. 

While Elsa did not appear present at the surfing session, Chris was joined by another female surfer.

The fellow surfer appeared to know Chris, as they shared duties carrying the collection of surfboards while on the sand.

While the woman was seen holding a large green board and small blue board, she offloaded the blue board and walked off with the green one.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Chris Hemsworth’s management for comment.

During an interview with USA Today in 2017, Chris admitted the family sometimes enlist the help of grandparents or a nanny.

Other reports have also suggested in the past, that Chris and Elsa favour hiring bilingual nannies, as the children also speak Spanish at home.
