Ishod Wair

Ishod Wair (born Ishod Kedar Baruti Wair in 1991) is an American skateboarder from Bordentown, New Jersey.

Ishod Wair has yet to excel at X Games, but it's not for a lack of talent. The lanky ripper from the Philly area has the ability to skate anything in front of him, from smooth and stylish transition skills to big rails to technical ledge tricks. A January '15 shoulder injury kept him off his board for about a month, but he's back to his charging ways. Will this be the year the 2013 Thrasher Magazine Skater of the Year medals at X Games?

In six appearances at X Games, Wairs' best finish came at X Games LA 2012 when he claimed 2nd in the gold only Game of Sk8. 23-year-old Ishod Kedar Baruti Wair, meaning "black man of glory and teacher," is currently the reigning Thrasher Magazine Skater of the Year.
