After nearly a decade of pro skateboarding, New Jersey's Ishod Wair has established himself as one of our most well-rounded — and enthusiastic — riders. And when Wair steps on his board, it's obvious to everyone that he takes full advantage of every moment: His heroically long skate sessions (requiring an arsenal of several dry shirts); his penchant for bowls and vert ramps, while his peers are happy to stay horizontal; and his head-turning ability to skate in each stance with equal dexterity, are all still in full effect.
Of course, Wair has always operated at 100%, and very few pro skateboarders communicate pure, unvarnished joy the way he does. It turns out that loving what you do will really get you places.
