As the song gets to the chorus, “He was a skater boy, she said, ‘See ya later, boy,'” the camera shifts from Lavigne to professional skateboarder Hawk.

Hawk is seen wearing the same colored tie with a black t-shirt underneath as he performs stunts on a beachfront ramp.

Lavigne’s TikTok video was timed to coincide with Go Skateboarding Day, an annual celebration of the sport that first began in California in 2004.
