Chris Hemsworth has long been a keen surfer, but this week he hit the water with surf legend and close friend Kelly Slater.
The Thor star, 39, shared a series of pictures on Friday from his ‘epic’ day out with Slater, 51, his wife Elsa Pataky, 46, and some friends.
The Byron Bay-based hunk showed off his buff physique in the shots, and in one image posed up for a sweet selfie with his actress wife.
The group went surfing and even used surf boards instead of water skis while being pulled from the back of a boat.
‘Epic day of surf fun and sun,’ Chris captioned his post.

Kelly Slater and his girlfriend Kalani Miller arrived at Perth Airport on Wednesday with surfboards in tow ready for the Margaret River Pro.
However the men’s heat has been delayed as experts wait for conditions to improve.
Last year, Kelly’s close friend Chris congratulated the surfer on his Pipeline victory in Hawaii.

Alongside a photo of Kelly basking in his win, the Thor star wrote on Instagram: ‘Congrats, Kelly. Greatest of all time. What an inspiration.’
Kelly had earlier that day won the WSL event against Hawaiian Seth Moniz.
The film star and the athlete are known to be good friends and have been pictured together on several occasions.

In 2018, they featured in a viral photo in which they wrestled one another shirtless.
‘It may look like Kelly Slater has the upper hand but basically I used my Jedi mind tricks and endless patience and waited till his little tiny arms grew tired,’ Chris wrote.
‘Then immediately reversed the position and gained complete control until he crumbled under my powers… maybe.’
Kelly and Chris clearly enjoy each other’s company as they also caught up at Kelly’s ‘Surf Ranch’ in California, regarded as the world’s best artificial wave pool.
The Aussie star is an avid surfer and has accompanied Kelly on many surfing trips to locations like Fiji and his home town of Byron Bay.
