Ishod Wair

Put simply, Ishod is the Michael Jordan of skateboarding. From the day he stepped on a skateboard he was hooked, and as soon as the industry figured out his potential, he quickly went from unknown ripper to am, and shortly thereafter was promoted to professional status from Real Skateboards. Two years later he was awarded skateboarding’s highest honor, Thrasher Magazine's Skater of the Year. Currently the only skater in both Vans Park Series and Street League, he somehow continues to drop ripping street parts on a regular basis. Although his work ethic is unmatched, Ishod truly is a gifted skate rat with more love for the board than anyone. He’s also a fashion connoisseur with an appreciation of vintage BMWs. When he’s not traveling around the world, Ishod splits his time between his home in Philadelphia and apartment in Los Angeles.
