Creatures of Leisure Reliance Leash
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Reliability in the Lineup
Creatures of Leisure has spent 30 years engineering surfing accessories that hold up when conditions demand it. The Reliance Leash carries that heritage into every session: a padded, quilted ankle cuff that locks comfortably in place, a molded swivel connector that eliminates cord twist, and a durable urethane cord that keeps your board close without loading up your leg. This is a leash built to be forgotten while you surf and counted on when it matters.
Reliance Leash Styles
The Reliance Leash is offered in two purpose-built configurations to match how and where you surf.
Outer Reef
Designed for surfers taking on heavier, more powerful waves farther outside. The Outer Reef configuration is built with the understanding that a larger, more forceful wipeout demands a leash that can absorb significant tension without snapping or pulling the cuff loose. The ankle cuff maintains a secure, comfortable wrap so drag is never a distraction between waves.
Longboard Ankle
Tuned for longboard surfing, where board length and the relaxed, flowing style of riding place different demands on the leash. The Longboard Ankle style provides the extended length to match a longer board, keeping the cord clear of your feet through cross-stepping and nose work while the padded cuff stays put through long sessions.
Construction and Materials
The ankle cuff visible in the product image features a diamond-quilted outer panel over dense foam padding, providing cushion and structure simultaneously. A hook-and-loop closure delivers a precise, rattle-free fit. The molded swivel at the cuff connects to a ribbed, flexible urethane cord that resists memory coiling. The rail saver at the board end protects the tail of your board from cord pressure during a hold-down.
