Evan Mock is an American skateboarder, surfer, model, and photographer who has gained a loyal fan following on the global skate and surf culture. He grew up in Hawaii surrounded by surfers, skaters, and artists who often visit the place and was heavily influenced by his many encounters with them. His love for photography came organically as he had this desire to film famous people who were often spotted at the beaches in Hawaii. He also had been surfing on the beaches of Hawaii from an early age and started to develop a passion for skateboarding around the age of 12. As his surfing and skateboarding career progressed, he started getting sponsorships from companies like Hurley and Converse. In his teenage years, he was also signed for a modeling contract by IMG Models.
He gained a lot of traction on Instagram after singer Frank Ocean posted a video of him. Evan had recently shaved his head and dyed his close-cropped hair neon pink. Evan’s friend, artist Tom Sachs, amused by his hair, jokingly asked him to wave hello to someone named Frank. Evan obliged and Tom then recorded this along with a clip of Evan’s skateboarding skills. It was just meant to be a fun thing between friends but Tom sent the video to Frank Ocean. The singer shared this video on his Instagram page and it went viral. Evan was already a rising star in the skateboarding world and his photography was attracting attention but the viral video gave him a shot in the arm. Overnight, Evan had more than 30k new followers on Instagram. Since then, he has received a lot of new work; including some editorial assignments for luxury goods company Dior. Evan often mentions in his interviews that he has spent his entire life studying the concept of personal branding. He wants to build a singular brand around his name that encompasses everything that he loves to do: surfing, skateboarding, modeling, and photography. Evan has a big following on Instagram with more than 200k followers.

Best Known For
His death-defying stunts and fearless skateboarding. Evan is renowned for skateboarding without wearing a helmet or any pads, which is a rare sight in modern adventure sports.
Personal Trainer
Evan’s daredevilry with the skateboard means that there is very little margin for error when he performs. He has stated that to maintain the mental strength and confidence required for this, he trains hard and focuses on dietary control. His training regimen includes running, swimming, surfing, and free diving.
Skateboarding tricks and stunts require speed and consequently, strength in the legs. For this, Evan does explosive ‘to-and-fro sprints’ in soft sand at the beach, which help in strengthening his quads and calves. For legs, he prefers this method over working out in the gym. This exercise is known as ‘suicide sprinting’ and is popular with footballers.
As for his diet, Evan relies on his homemade protein meal. It is a collection of elements that are blended in a mixer: a banana, coconut water, protein powder, linseed, almond mix, honey, and spinach. He then pours this mix into a bowl full of granola, which helps to balance the protein with good fats and carbohydrates.
