Creatures of Leisure Surf Accessories — Leashes, Traction Pads & More

Creatures of Leisure has been making surf accessories since 1987, built on a simple belief: the gear between you and your board should be as well-engineered as the board itself. From their patented leash connection systems to their EcoPure® biodegradable traction pads, every Creatures product is designed with performance, durability, and environmental responsibility in mind. They're the leash and traction brand of choice for some of the world's best surfers — including Mick Fanning, Italo Ferreira, Griffin Colapinto, Stephanie Gilmore, Jack Freestone, and Ethan Ewing.
