Surf fans deeply concerned as Chris Hemsworth’s young son appears to wander down ill-advised path

"Chris Hemsworth beams with pride as son Sasha wins his first surfing competition..."

Now, there was a time, starting in the early 1990s, ending in or around 2013, that a young guy or gal could dream about becoming a professional surfer and his or her parents would not weep tears on their Roth IRA statements. Yes their little charge, if just a few clicks better than average, might make a living as local pro, magazine ho, QS grinder or CT stud. Many brands, many avenues, many opportunities.

Well, those days are long gone. The local pro now gets compesated in surf wax, the magazines have all folded, nobody cares about up-and-comers and even those who have reached the bigs can’t afford to travel the world on their paltry salaries.

In a word, or eight, “professional surfer” is no longer a paying gig.

You can then understand the concern of surf fans who are terrified the very famous Chris Hemsworth’s adolescent son is dabbling in the lifestyle after waking up to a Daily Mail headline screaming “Chris Hemsworth beams with pride as son Sasha wins his first surfing competition – with mum Elsa Pataky cheering him on at the beach.”

Sasha, 11, took out all-comers at the Byron Bay Boardriders and was chaired up the beach by his fellow competitors.

Hemsworth, 41, dartling with delight.

Surf fans apprehension growing.

While Hemsworth’s net worth is reported to be well north of $100 million, the cost of the professional surfing life is far outpacing inflation and especially for tikes. Travel, surf coaches, contest entry fees and annual Joe Dispenza retreats. By the time young Sasha reaches 18, Hemsworth’s financial holdings might very well be halved.

Those with a “glass half full” mentality, or those who have actually been to a Joe Dispenza retreat, could possibly counter that everything is cyclical and professional surfing will roar back, robustly, soon.

Or as the good doctor puts it:

As more and more people start to wake up to information, there’s a change in energy, because change in consciousness requires a change in energy. And a greater energy causes systems that were once stable to become unstable… to become chaotic, and chaos is just unpredictable order. It’s novelty, it’s newness, it’s an unraveling of systems. So hang on. This is a really profound time because it’s got to break, and when it breaks, something better will come out of it.

Thoughts?

Lighting a candle for Sasha Hemsworth or not in the least bit worried, leaning into the unpredictable order etc.?
