The Real Deck Ishod Wair Cathedral Holographic Rainbow Foil Twin Tail (8.3) combines Ishod Wair's signature twin-tail skateboard shape with one of Real Skateboards' most visually intricate graphic treatments. Featuring an elaborate cathedral-inspired stained-glass illustration finished in shimmering holographic rainbow foil, this deck brings together creative artwork, premium maple construction, and the balanced geometry Ishod prefers for his technically demanding skateboarding. Measuring 8.3 inches wide, 31.9 inches long, with a 14.4-inch wheelbase, it's designed for skateboarders who value consistency, control, and versatility.
The artwork takes inspiration from traditional stained-glass cathedral windows, combining layered architectural details, ornamental borders, and luminous colors across the entire underside. A dark, almost black background forms the foundation, while shimmering silver, lavender, green, pink, and blue tones create an iridescent effect that changes depending on how the light hits the surface. The holographic rainbow foil finish gives the graphic an almost three-dimensional appearance, resembling light passing through an elaborate stained-glass installation.
At the center of the composition is a detailed silver sports car, styled after a classic BMW coupe, emerging through swirling clouds and architectural shadows. The vehicle features carefully illustrated headlights, a defined front grille, dark wheels, and reflective body panels. Behind it, a mysterious figure appears alongside the vehicle, adding another layer to the scene. Above the car, several white doves with outstretched wings move through the composition, surrounded by deep red and magenta roses with green leaves. Gold chain-like borders frame sections of the artwork, while cathedral-style arches and geometric window patterns create depth throughout the design.
Positioned beneath the vehicle is a bold ISHOD nameplate in metallic silver lettering, framed against a dark rectangular panel. The lower portion continues the stained-glass theme with additional roses, ornate framing, and a prominent white dove with its wings spread. The flowing arrangement of flowers, birds, metallic surfaces, and gothic architectural elements creates an unusually detailed skateboard graphic, while the rainbow foil treatment adds shifting reflections that make the artwork look different from various angles.
The construction is just as distinctive as the artwork. The Twin Tail shape features matching kicks at both ends, allowing skateboarders to ride the board in either direction without needing to distinguish between a conventional nose and tail. This symmetrical design gives both ends a consistent popping surface, making it especially useful for switch tricks, fakie skating, technical combinations, and riders who regularly change stance throughout a session. Because both ends share the same geometry, the board maintains a familiar feel regardless of its orientation.
With its 8.3-inch width, the deck offers a versatile platform that balances the stability of wider boards with the responsiveness needed for technical street skating. The 31.9-inch length and 14.4-inch wheelbase create a compact, maneuverable setup suited to ledges, stairs, manual pads, banks, and transition skating. Its medium-style concave provides a comfortable pocket for foot positioning while maintaining predictable board control. The relatively compact dimensions also make it a practical option for skateboarders who want a slightly wider deck without moving into oversized shapes.
Constructed using Real Skateboards' R1 construction, the deck features seven plies of North American hard rock maple pressed to deliver consistent strength, lasting pop, and dependable concave. The R1 pressing process is designed to maintain a reliable shape and feel, giving skateboarders the responsive platform needed for repeated impacts, technical flip tricks, and everyday street skating. The combination of durable maple construction and Ishod's symmetrical twin-tail design makes this deck more than just an impressive graphic.
The skateboard carries the name of Ishod Wair, one of the most influential professional street skateboarders of his generation. Originally from Bordentown, New Jersey, Ishod developed a reputation for an exceptionally effortless style, combining technical precision, powerful pop, and the ability to skate virtually any terrain. After joining Real Skateboards and turning professional in 2011, he went on to earn Thrasher Magazine's 2013 Skater of the Year award, establishing himself among skateboarding's most respected professionals. His skating moves seamlessly between technical ledge combinations, massive gaps, transition lines, and creative street spots, making him a natural fit for a board designed to perform consistently in either direction.
Behind Real Skateboards are professional skateboarders Tommy Guerrero and Jim Thiebaud, who founded the company in 1991 as part of San Francisco's influential Deluxe Distribution family. Built around authentic skateboarding, strong team representation, and a commitment to independent skate culture, Real has remained one of the industry's most respected skateboard companies. Its history includes influential riders such as Keith Hufnagel, Dennis Busenitz, Peter Ramondetta, and Ishod Wair, helping establish a legacy of powerful street skating and creative progression. The Cathedral graphic combines that heritage with a more elaborate artistic direction.
For skateboarders throughout the San Gabriel Valley, including Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Glendora, Claremont, and South Pasadena, the Ishod Wair Cathedral Twin Tail offers a practical option for everyday street sessions and skatepark riding. Whether you're skating ledges, working through technical lines, or experimenting with switch tricks, the symmetrical design provides a consistent platform while the holographic artwork gives the deck a distinctive appearance.
The Real Ishod Wair Cathedral Holographic Rainbow Foil Twin Tail stands out for its combination of artwork and performance-oriented design. From the metallic silver car and white doves to the roses, gold decorative borders, and shifting rainbow reflections, every section contributes to the cathedral-inspired presentation. Matched with its 8.3" x 31.9" dimensions, 14.4" wheelbase, 7-ply maple construction, and symmetrical twin-tail shape, it's a deck built for skateboarders who appreciate Ishod's technical approach to skating and Real's longstanding commitment to quality.
