Kai Kishi Setup FAQ
What deck does Kai Kishi ride?
Kai Kishi rides a April Skateboards Figures 8.0 deck in a 8" width as of 2026. Deck choice is the single biggest factor in a pro's setup — width affects stance and stability, while concave and construction drive pop and flick. You can shop the same April Skateboards Figures 8.0 deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Kai Kishi use?
Kai Kishi uses Venture Trucks V-Hollow Pro 5.2 Lo trucks. Trucks determine how a skateboard turns and how it lands grinds, and pros typically match hanger width to deck width for proper alignment. Most pro skaters stick with one truck brand for years once they have the feel dialed in.
What wheels does Kai Kishi ride?
Kai Kishi rides Crupie Wheels wheels. Wheel size and hardness drive speed and grip — smaller, harder wheels favor technical street skating, while larger, softer wheels suit transition, park, and rougher terrain.
What shoes does Kai Kishi skate in?
Kai Kishi skates in Adidas. Skate shoes are built with reinforced toe caps, vulcanized or cupsole construction, and grippy gum rubber outsoles for board feel and durability. Pros often go through several pairs a month from heavy daily skating.
