The Spanish actress took the couple's three children, India Rose, Tristan and Sasha, surfing near their $20million mega-mansion in Byron Bay on Friday.

Elsa, 43, looked like a professional as she jumped into the water and showed her kids how to paddle out and catch waves.

The mother-of-three arrived at the beach carrying two children's boards before leading the surf session. 

Elsa, who showcased her toned figure in a black spring suit, patiently helped her kids climb onto their boards in the shallows. 

The Hemsworth children wore matching Quiksilver wetsuits and seemed eager to learn.

Chris, who is an enthusiastic surfer, didn't join his wife and children at the beach.  

Last August, the Hollywood star 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,' Chris said of life back in Australia. 

The Thor: Ragnarok star, 36, 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 relocated to Australia with his family in 2014, after several years living in LA. They recently moved into a $20million mansion in Broken Head, near Byron Bay.
