Chris Hemsworth’s wife Elsa Pataky is living the Australian dream.

The mum-of-three wore a long-sleeved sunsuit as she led the surfing lesson, arriving at the beach carrying two boards for the children to play with. 

Elsa appeared patient while helping them climb onto the boards in the shallows. 

All of the children wore matching Quiksilver wetsuits, looking eager to learn.

Their famous father Chris, who is a surfing fanatic, was nowhere to be seen.  

Last August, the father-of-three revealed he was taking a break from the spotlight amid the runaway success of his Marvel films.

He told the Men’s Health Strength Session podcast that he wanted to focus on his family instead of his career for a while. 

‘I’m just at home now, taking the next six months off and spending time with the kids and the wife,’ said Chris of life back in Australia.

He explained the decision to take time off at the peak of his career wasn’t easy.

‘After the Avengers press tour [in April] I had a real moment of like, “Oh, what now? I’m unemployed, what next?”‘ he said. 

‘And then I thought, “No, this is the problem. If you keep looking ahead and not enjoying [the present], then you’re just going to miss it.”‘

Chris, who is married to Spanish actress Elsa, relocated to Australia with his family in 2014, after several years spent living in LA. 

They recently moved into a $20million mansion in Broken Head, near Byron Bay.
