THOR... whatta man! Chris Hemsworth reveals his ripped physique as he stretches out after surf session before slipping out of his boardshorts to drive his Ute home
Australian actor Chris Hemsworth's rippling muscles made waves when he exited a Byron Bay surf spot on Saturday, before stopping in front of his car for an impromptu stretch session.
Dripping wet from the water the Thor heartthrob, 31, revealed his surfer's six-pack as he stripped off his rash vest in the carpark, before chucking it in the back of his white Ute like a real Aussie bloke.
Barefoot in boardshorts the resourceful father-of-three pulled down the back of his Ute and treated fellow onlookers to a look at all six-foot-three-inches of his action hero physique.

Bending his muscular frame in half People's Sexiest Man Alive used the back shelf to stretch out his lower back and shoulder muscles, revealing a physique that was ogle-worthy and biceps of the God-like variety.
Pushing his weight into his heels the surfing actor worked out any kinks in his paddling joints, making sure he was loosened up for the drive home.
After the stretch session the able-bodied star, who recently returned from the U.S to set up a base in Byron's hippie hinterland with his Spanish wife Elsa Pataky, 38, continued to set pulses racing as he switched his boardshorts for day shorts round the side of the car.

Keeping his modesty in tact he deftly pulled a blue towel around his waist as he attempted a clandestine switcharoo beneath it.
Earlier the flaxen-haired, blue-haired star and brother of fellow actors Luke, 33, and Liam, 25, put on an impressive display of surf skills in New South Wales' surfing enclave.
Hitting the waters on a short board he carved up the waves with apparent ease leaning his weight into the frothing water.
The manly Rush star has always been outdoorsy and spent his teens surfing in Victoria with his brothers, while his parents worked for a child protection agency.

Part of his drive to return to Australia is the chance to give his children India, two, and twin boys Tristan and Sacha, one, the chance to grow up in the same country he did.
In October the family man told Daily Mail Australia: 'We're spending more and more time back in Australia and I definitely want the kids to grow up here and spend time here.'
He then joked about his reported $7.2 million spend on a home: ' But I can't confirm I've bought a house here so ill side step that' and added: 'We were in California a lot I missed it here and my wife missed it too so that was our goal to get back here.'

In January he told The Today Show in the U.S: 'We were in LA for six or seven years and then once we got the opportunity not to be there full-time, it was good to get back to Australia.
'And it's great. Quiet, coastal town - [it] couldn't be further from Hollywood, which is nice. A nice break.'
This week the family celebrated the first birthday of their twin boys with Spanish actress Elsa sharing an Instagram snap of her bikini-clad and with her babes.
She wrote beside it: 'Happy birthday baby boys! Thanks for all the moments that we shared during your first year and all the ones to come! Together step by step.'
