The Best Surfing Equipment and Accessories in Australia

To fix the issue, John pioneered the use of urethane cord in the surf leash and invented the stainless-steel bearing swivel, both of which are now standard in pretty much every leash in the world today.

While he has remained under the radar, John’s contribution to surfing and surf equipment is now being recognised in the documentary A Creature of Leisure, narrated by 8-times world champion Steph Gilmore. A story of the evolution of surfboard accessories many have never heard.

Not content with making the ultimate surf leash, John Malloy expanded Creatures’ surfing accessories to include boardcovers that fit longboards, purpose-built bodyboard leashes and accessories, world title winning surf traction and more.
