Model Elle MacPherson stripped off in a beach

Model Elle MacPherson clearly isn't the shy type as she stripped off in a beach car park to indulge in a spot of her favourite sport - surfing.

The model known as 'The Body' arrived at the beach rather sparingly dressed in a bottom-skimming sweater and fashionable Ugg boots after heading back to Oz to be with friends and family.

But soon she had stripped off, and poured herself into a shorts-style wetsuit, ready to hit some waves in Sydney.

Elle revealed her still enviable shape as she spent her Christmas holiday maintaining her fabulous body with a spot of surfing.

The Australian model was joined by her brother Ben, who helped her zip-up her wetsuit, as the mother of two did a quick change in the beach car park.

Elle, 44, is taking surf instruction from Californian ex-world surfing champion, Rusty Miller, who is now settled in Australia.

Miller has been her instructor in Byron Bay a couple of months ago and Elle brought him to Sydney for a surfing holiday with her children.

The supermodel and lingerie entrepreneur is said to have rented a property in Australia's Palm Beach resort for herself and two sons by ex-fiancé Arpad Busson, Flynn, nine; and Cy, four; for the family holiday.

But rumoured new love, Bryan Adams was nowhere to be seen. Elle is said to have been romancing the Canadian rocker for around a month.

The pair were reportedly seen sharing a passionate kiss at a private party Bryan hosted on last month following the launch of Bryan's exhibition of photographic portraits, 'Modern Muses', at London members' club The Hospital.

Since splitting from Arpad in July 2005, Elle - who was previously married to fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon, who she divorced in 1989 - has been romantically linked to British actor Ray Fearon and Australian restaurateur David Evans.
