Wind Skate Deck
Work Summary & Collector Notes
The 2016 Wind deck is a standalone Kai & Sunny skateboard on Featherlight 3 dyed veneer, 8.25 inches wide and around 80 x 20 cm, signed and produced in an edition of only 10. It translates the duo's wind motif onto a functional board in a run far smaller than the colette collaboration version.
Collector notes: First Edition; saved release record states an edition size of 10. The saved release record describes: signed. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
With just 10 examples, this Wind deck is among the rarest of Kai & Sunny's skate editions. The wider 8.25-inch profile and standalone status set it apart from the 100-set colette release, making it a distinct object prized by collectors who focus on the duo's most exclusive board formats.
Collector Perspective
An edition this small means each deck rarely surfaces, and condition plus signature verification carry outsized importance. Collectors should note the 8.25-inch width as the marker distinguishing this from the wider colette Wind deck, and confirm the dyed veneer face remains sound.
Historical Context
Wind imagery is central to Kai & Sunny's kinetic visual language, evoking movement and atmosphere. This tiny 2016 edition shows the artists issuing collector-grade skate objects in single-digit-scale runs, reinforcing the board as a serious edition rather than a commercial product.
