Ishod Wair

Ishod-Kedar Burti Wair is an American professional skateboarder, born on 1 November 1991 and raised in Bordentown, New Jersey, where he began skateboarding at nine and later dropped other activities such as basketball to focus on it. He left high school before graduating, and at the 2009 Tampa Am he placed 18th of 36 skaters in the semifinals, missing the final but handing out promotional DVDs to potential sponsors that launched his career. Real Skateboards supplied him boards for over a year, added him to its amateur team and turned him pro in 2011. Thrasher named him Skater of the Year in 2013 after four video parts, he finished second at his first Street League Super Crown in 2015, and Nike released his own SB Dunk Low Pro in 2016 and a signature shoe in 2022.
