In various opportunities, Hemsworth has opened up about his relationship with surfing, a sport that he's practiced throughout most of his life. The practice is one that he now shares with his wife Elsa Pataky and their kids. “I’ve always loved surfing,” he said in an interview with GQ. “It’s one of the few things that holds my attention completely and in its entirety.”
“There’s a cleansing every time I get in the water,” he said. “If I’m having some sort of inner conflict or turmoil, it’s the one place I go. There’s a feeling of starting again.”
In that same interview, Hemsworth revealed that surfing has been a kind of addiction throughout his life, helping him feel comfortable with himself when he was a teenager. “It was all I thought about the entire week,” he said.
“I didn’t really have much of a social life during high school. I wasn’t really going out to parties. All I wanted to do was surf and watch movies. It kept me out of trouble, I think.”
“There are far worse addictions out there.”
