Real Skateboards welcomed Momiji Nishiya to the team this morning with a heartfelt message on Instagram. From the streets to contest podiums across the globe, Momiji has been on an absolute tear the last few years, which is why her addition to the Real roster feels as natural as it does meaningful. This is huge! Peep the message below.

Here's what Real had to say on Instagram:
We met Momiji in 2021 - fresh off an Olympic gold medal, she came to SF ready to bomb hills and take on the streets. Momiji came by the office and we soon learned that her favorite skater was Ishod, and that her dream was to skate for REAL. On that same trip, we started flowing her boards.
Fast forward to 2025 and Momiji has become a street powerhouse. Watching her skate, it’s obvious why she stands out - the relaxed style, the flick, and the power she brings made us all instant fans. After a few trips to the States and plenty of van miles, it was clear she was built for this crew. Now it’s official - Momiji Nishiya rides for REAL.
Momiji absolutely killed it in OVAL—Real's latest full-length video, and had some standout clips amongst a team of skateboarding's finest. That's no small feat! The Real squad is as elite as they come, and just like the caption read, it was clear she was built for this crew.
We're stoked to see Momiji getting all the shine she deserves. A spot on the Real roster would be a dream come true for countless skateboarders out there, but there's no denying this hungry up-and-comer deserves her spot. We can't wait to see what the future holds. This is just the beginning.
