Creatures of Leisure Reliance Outer Reef 10 XL Wave Leash

Driven by Adventure: The Creatures of Leisure Story

In 1972, Founder John Malloy left Los Angeles on a container ship, embarking on a journey to surf through the Pacific to West Oz. When he arrived in the picturesque town of Yallingup, he knew he had found paradise – uncrowded waves, stunning coastline, and great friends. To earn a living, he began making surf leashes, but soon realized the raw waves of the South Indian Ocean would snap inferior materials. Good wasn't good enough – they had to be better.

A Passion for Innovation

Driven by this need for improvement, John introduced the first-ever urethane cord, providing the most reliable connection from board to surfer yet. He became obsessed with bettering other solutions, inventing a self-lubricating stainless steel swivel as well. These pioneering innovations remain the industry standard today. That same focus on rugged reliability and premium detail has since been expanded to other surf essentials, including board covers, traction, tie-downs, and more – all geared towards a lifetime of discovery.

The Ultimate Testing Ground

Located on Western Australia's wave-rich South West coast, Yallingup and its surroundings have been the breeding ground for some of the world's top leading surfers. The powerful waves of the Indian Ocean make it the perfect place to test surf hardware. While Creatures could have moved somewhere more centralized to make travel easier, that's all part of the fun. Most surfers get that right away – after all, they're a different breed, they're Creatures.
