Former My Kitchen Rules host Pete Evans has revealed a very surprising skill.
The controversial celebrity chef, 51, popped up in a photo shared to the Instagram page of Macaronis Surf Resort in Mentawai Indonesia.
The photo shows Pete effortlessly carving his way through a pristine blue barrel, expertly sticking his left hand into the surf for balance.
Looking very much the part, he wore a mustard-coloured T-shirt and a pair of orange and blue patterned board shorts.
He also sported a pair of black surfing booties and a black shade cap to protect his eyes from the sun.
Pete’s face was the very picture of determination as he deftly carved is way along the surf.
The picture was also shared on Instagram by Pete’s wife Nicola Robinson who captioned the image with a simple ‘Pete,’ and a smiling face with hearts emoji.
Pete has assumed a low-profile since he was dropped by 15 sponsors and companies in the space of 48 hours in November 2020, after posting a neo-Nazi meme on social media.

He has also faced a string of controversies over the past few years.
The once popular TV star has attracted scrutiny for peddling anti-vaccine conspiracies and was fined $25,000 for promoting a light machine which he claimed helped cure Covid.
In May 2020, it was announced that Pete had parted ways with Channel Seven after 10 years as a judge on My Kitchen Rules alongside Manu Feildel and guest judge Colin Fassnidge.

It effectively marked his break from the mainstream after years of flirting with fringe ideas during his tenure at the network.
After the split, Evans began spruiking his beliefs about vaccines and the Covid-19 pandemic on social media.
In July, 2020, Evans sparked outrage when he claimed that Covid-19 was a ‘f***ing hoax’ and that the pandemic ‘doesn’t compare to what is happening in the world on a large scale’.
In May 2021, he was slapped with a $80,000 fine for promoting ‘alternative treatments’ to Covid.
It was the second time he ran foul of authorities after previously being fined $25,000 for trying to sell his ‘BioCharger’ device for $15,000 apiece on Facebook.
