A couple years back, in the midst of revving up Coal for another season, Brad brought to my attention the starting of another company at C3 Worldwide. Martino Fumagalli and George Kleckner, formerly of Northwave/Drake, were getting their own binding company going. The first chassis was designed, molds were forged, product was being developed and their “no bullshit, premium materials” story was a perfect fit with us.

Designed in Colico, Italy, a land of amazing stairs. Marketed out of C3 Worldwide up in Seattle.

Their spirit of independence rings true with each decision we make, from product to advertising to our lifetime warranty. Best of luck, men.
