Tank Evans is a professional surfer nicknamed "The Shredder" and the main antagonist of Surf's Up and Surf's Up 2: WaveMania.

Appearance[]

Tank appears to be tattooed on his body, with waves on the sides of his body and a sun under his neck. Tank is noticeably the largest and most muscular penguin in the original film. He also displays noticeable Heterochromia iridum, differently-colored eyes. Tanks left eye is blue, while his right is amber.

Personality[]

Tank is exceedingly vain and confident in his abilities, believing himself to be better than everyone else, not only while surfing but also in general. He intentionally and sadistically bullies or attacks other surfers, even children, by destroying their boards or causing them to wipe out. Tank is obsessed with his trophies, acting as if they were his harem of eligible bachelorettes. Tank is also implied to be a loser and a momma's boy since he still lives with his mother and is occasionally nagged and bossed around by her. [1]

Biography[]

Early life[]

Tank Evans as an egg

Tank as an egg with his mother.

Tank was born to unnamed mom. It is implied that his mother taught him how to surf while he was still an egg, which explains why he is so experienced at the sport.

He competed against the famous surfer, Big Z, during a surfing contest on Pen Gu Island. During the surf off, Tank wiped Big Z out. Tired and knowing that he couldn't compete against Tank, Big Z faked a disappearance. Following this, a surfing contest called "The Big Z Memorial Surf Off" started and was won by Tank nine times.

Surf's Up[]

Shortly before the 10th Big Z Memorial Surf Off, Cody challenged Tank to a surfing duel. Cody lost after wiping out.

When the Surf Off began, Tank underestimated Cody and attempted to knock him off his board, only for Tank himself to wipe out. This put Tank in last place behind Cody and Joe, who both scored enough points to almost guarantee that one of them would win. Tank decided to attack Joe, but Cody rescued Joe by intercepting Tank. Tank soon ends up wiping out in The Boneyards. Lani rescues Tank, who recovers on the shore. Tank is speechless to see Big Z return and save Cody.

Joe's victory at the Surf Off broke Tank's wining streak and sent him into a panic. He tried to steal Joe's trophy for himself, only for the trophy to get damaged when several children berated Tank's unsportsmanlike behavior.
