Chris Hemsworth’s French Surf Escape
Chris Hemsworth swapped Hollywood hustle for the laid-back shores of Hossegor this week, sharing a series of sun-kissed snapshots on Instagram. The “Thor” actor thanked host Miky Picon for the warm welcome, captioning his post, “Thanks @mikypicon for hospitality!! Fun little getaway in Hossegor 🤙🤙 @floresjeremy @zocobodypro.” In the carousel (https://www.instagram.com/p/DK_3z34xVso/), Hemsworth is seen carving waves alongside French pro surfer Jeremy Flores and a friend tagged as @zocobodypro, then unwinding on the sand with a cold beverage in hand.
Local Legends And Coastal Vibes
Hossegor, on France’s southwest coast, is hailed among Europe’s top surf destinations. Its powerful beach breaks attract surfers worldwide—and it’s clearly become a favorite for Hemsworth’s off-duty adventures. Jeremy Flores, a two-time European surfing champion, guides the group through the region’s famed reefs. In one shot, Flores flashes a grin as he paddles out, while Hemsworth catches a clean right-hander, board angled just right at the lip of the wave.
A Passion For Waves
Surfing isn’t a new pastime for the Australian star. Earlier this year, Hemsworth treated fans to glimpses of his Fiji retreat, thanking Tavarua Island Resort for “another epic trip” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DKIV-vYT0HG/). His Instagram feed also highlights family moments in Byron Bay and friendly competitions at local boardrider events, underscoring that riding waves is a serious pursuit—rather than just an occasional photo op.
Hemsworth’s love for the ocean is rooted in his upbringing on Australia’s Gold Coast, where he learned to surf as a teen. Over the past decade, he’s balanced blockbuster shoots with boutique surfing holidays, documenting each stop with candid images and shout-outs. In Hossegor, he even paused mid-session to applaud a fellow surfer’s perfect tube ride—proof that camaraderie on the water runs as deep as his competitive spirit.
Beyond the surf, Hemsworth took time to explore Hossegor’s seaside cafés and pine-fringed bike paths. He posted a sunset panorama over the bay, writing simply, “Beach days are the best days,” a reminder that some of life’s greatest highlights come free of charge.
As filming commitments ramp up later this year—with projects spanning action thrillers to eco-documentaries—this French coastal detour offered him a chance to recharge. Whether he’s wielding Mjolnir or chasing tubes off France’s Aquitaine coast, Chris Hemsworth remains one of Hollywood’s most avid wave chasers.
