"Set a few blocks from good waves and good wind, Fletcher Chouinard Designs also sits close to the original Tin Shed, where Fletcher’s father, Yvon, started forging climbing pitons in the 1960s. The mediums are different, but the approach that has always run through everything Patagonia—build gear that works and lasts, and then get out with it and have fun—runs just as strong through FCD and Patagonia Surf. And as Fletcher can tell you, given today’s diversity of designs, it’s an approach that means there’s hardly any downtime anymore." Read more about FCD on “The Cleanest Line” here:
