CREATURES OF LEISURE Redefines the Surf Leash: Introducing RELIANCE 2.0 

Iconic surf hardware brand CREATURES OF LEISURE has unveiled RELIANCE 2.0, their strongest, most reliable, and most comfortable leash to date. Built for punishment and tested by the world's best surfers in the heaviest conditions, RELIANCE 2.0 introduces a suite of major innovations designed to set a new global standard in leash design. 

"Leash is in CREATURES DNA," says Beau Campi, Head of Product & Brand. "It's our pioneering product that has been at the nucleus of several market leading innovations providing surfers confidence. So, when we had some new advancements and tech with better solutions ready, it was time to share them with the world. The design always starts and ends with function and reliability for us." 

The headline innovation is the QUICK CONNECT rail saver - a faster, safer, and more secure way to attach a leash without tying knots. Featuring an easy-thread insert tab and snug plug alignment, QUICK CONNECT eliminates string failures while offering maximum tail protection. 

"Finally, there's a super quick and easy connection to your board," adds Campi. "No more knot struggles or string failures. QUICK CONNECT eliminates those frustrations, strengthens the connection point, and helps prevent board damage. It's a game-changer." 

RELIANCE 2.0 also introduces a new DUTY Rating System - replacing confusing labels like 'comp,' 'pro,' or 'reef' with a clear, intuitive scale. Surfers can now choose confidently from 5mm LITE DUTY to 9mm EXTRA HEAVY DUTY, depending on the waves they're chasing. 

Additional upgrades include: 

  • Patented DNA 2.0 Mould - longer, stronger, and more flexible cord-to-mould connection.

  • Cuff Upgrade - redesigned internal horn for no ankle bite, plus a horizontal quick-release pull tab for faster emergency release and reduced bulk under wetsuits.

  • NON-SLIP CUFF - patented design grips to skin and neoprene for ultimate security. 

  • Sustainable Materials - cuff and railsaver webbing now made from 60% recycled polyester yarn.

  • Kink-Free Packaging - wider packaging eliminates tangles straight out of the box.

RELIANCE 2.0 is available now in Australia from CREATURES stockists and online. To learn more about RELIANCE 2.0 head to: creatures.com.au
