About Northwave Drake Podium Binding: The Podium for 2009-2010. It has always been our high end binding as far as technology goes. So the Podium gets an update this year with colour and with technology. You are going to get 3D molded in step strap which molds both directions giving a perfect combination with Nortwave boots. Five click ratchets on the toe and the heel. Channels to tuck away the ratchets. Quick adjust ladder strap both on the toe and the heel. We move to the footprint. You get dual density. The red is a stiffer material, the black is the softer. You are also getting two pieces of gel built into the heel. The Omni-chrome technology and the full carbon high back which is the stiffest, most responsive high back that you can offer. This binding is our high end. It has got all the technology built in you could need. The perfect all mountain ride.
