Elle Macpherson continued to make waves in her native Australia today as she once again displayed her enviable figure on the beach.
The 47-year-old model, otherwise known as 'The Body', hit the surf for the second time in a row, ripping through the waves like a pro.
After the session she peeled off her wetsuit to reveal her incredibly tanned and toned physique in a scarlett bikini.
Red hot: Elle Macpherson peeled off her wetsuit to reveal her stunning figure in a scarlett bikini as she went surfing in Byron Bay, Australia today
Elle had been spending the morning surfing at Byron Bay's famous spot 'The Pass' with a group of friend.
She took to the waves like a duck to water, flawlessly standing up on the board several times to cheers from her pals.
The famous model looked ever inch the surfer chick as she walked along the sand alongside another female friend with her patterned board tucked under her arm.
Still 'The Body': Tanned and toned there was not an inch to pinch on the 47-year-old
Time to surf: Clearly in her element the Aussie model beamed as she hit the waves
Clearly relaxed, the beaming blonde stopped to chat to two young girls.
She might be edging towards her 50th birthday, but Elle still looks every inch 'The Body' as she did in her heyday.
Despite a slight wrinkle at the knee, Elle appears nowhere near her 47 years. 
Surfer chick: Elle certainly looked like a pro as she stood up on her surfboard
Impressive: She took to the waves like a duck to water, flawlessly standing up on the board several times
Thrilled: The mother-of-two looked quite impressed with herself
Her surfing expedition is her second this week, with Elle also hitting the waves on Wednesday where she flaunted her enviable figure in a cutaway wetsuit.
Despite showing off a slight tanning mishap by baring a white bikini outline against her sunkissed skin, Elle looked entirely unconcerned as she grinned with delight in the water.
Elle has been enjoying the sunshine in Oz during a vacation with her sons Arpad and Aurelius, along with father Peter and sister Mimi.
Concentration: Elle was determined to stand up on her long board
Strength: The supermodel powered through the water with ease
And despite her unfortunate VTL (Visible Tan Line), she looks in great shape as she continues to enjoy her morning workouts on the waves.
Earlier on Wednesday, Elle and her family had visited the Byron Bay tourist attraction The Macadamia Castle.
Park owner Tony Gilding, a former publishing executive who first met Elle back in 1992 when he published her swimsuit calendars, told Australia's Daily Telegraph of her visit: 'She was lovely. Charming as always and very down to earth.
Friendly: Elle stopped to chat to two young fans after her surfing session
Having fun: Elle had been spending the morning surfing at Byron Bay's famous spot 'The Pass' with a group of friend
'She was there with her family and they just wandered around the park like anyone else and were generally unbothered.'
While many people use the Christmas break to indulge in some calorific treats and let the exercise regime go slightly, Elle seems to be doing everything she can to stay in shape on her holiday.
As well as surfing, Elle was spotted enjoying a morning run earlier this week with father Peter, who is recovering from prostate cancer.
It is believed Elle and her family are enjoying their holiday at the exclusive Watego's Beach in Byron Bay.
