CREATURES GRIFFIN COLAPINTO SIGNATURE SURF GRIP: THE PAD THAT SURFS THE WAY HE THINKS

No two surfers step on a board the same way. Griffin Colapinto knows this better than anyone: his high-performance surfing demands a grip that disappears under the foot, putting nothing between him and the board, allowing him to feel every nuance of the rail in every maneuver. The Creatures of Leisure Griffin Colapinto Signature is exactly that: a 3-piece traction pad with Thermo-Lite technology and a Diamond Loc II pattern, designed by and for one of the most consistent surfers on the world tour. Put under the foot of one of the world's best. Available for yours.

DESIGNED BY A WORLD TOP 5: THE STORY BEHIND THE GRIP

Griffin Colapinto is not just the face on the packaging. Since his Championship Tour debut in 2018, when he scored a perfect 10 in his first competition at Snapper Rocks, Colapinto has climbed steadily to become one of the most feared surfers on the circuit. In 2022, he won the MEO Pro Portugal, marking the first win for a Californian on the CT since the 90s, and in 2023 he became the first American surfer to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In 2025, he reached world number 2 after an outstanding performance at the WSL Finals in Cloudbreak, Fiji, where his backhand surfing was highlighted as some of the best of the event.

All that elite surfing has happened with this grip under his back foot. It's not marketing: it is the pad that Griffin has refined session by session to respond exactly as his modern, technical, and explosive surfing requires.

THERMO-LITE AND DIAMOND LOC II: THE TECHNOLOGY GRIFFIN DEMANDED

What sets this grip apart from a conventional pad is its manufacturing process. Thermo-Lite technology subjects EVA foam to thermal compression with a micro-dot pattern, producing a pad that is significantly thinner, lighter, and more reactive underfoot. The result is a direct connection to the board that thicker pads cannot replicate.

The Diamond Loc II traction pattern leverages this thermo-compressed structure to offer precise, multi-directional grip: effective in both the longest bottom turn and the most vertical snap. Griffin wanted to feel the board, not the pad. That is what Diamond Loc II gives him.

TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE CREATURES GRIFFIN COLAPINTO SIGNATURE GRIP

EXPERT ADVICE

"The Griffin Colapinto Signature is the pad we recommend to anyone who really wants to feel the board under their feet. Thermo-Lite technology makes the difference compared to thicker pads: the foot is closer to the board, the feedback is immediate, and the 30mm Alpine Kick gives you that rear reference you look for in every turn. If you surf with intensity and want a grip that isn't an obstacle between you and your board, this is the one we put on. That Griffin uses it is no coincidence: it is the result of years of joint work between him and Creatures."

CREATURES OF LEISURE WARRANTY — "BUILT FOR THE OCEAN. BUILT TO LAST."

Creatures of Leisure was born in 1987 in Yallingup, Western Australia, thanks to John Malloy, a Californian surfer who turned his obsession with surf gear into one of the most respected accessory brands in the world. From the first urethane leash to the signature pads of the best surfers on the planet, Creatures has led innovation in surf hardware for over 35 years.

Griffin Colapinto has been working with Creatures since 2012. His signature pad is not just an image collaboration: it is the direct product of years of feedback in the most demanding waves on the world circuit, from Snapper to Pipeline. The result is in every millimeter of the Diamond Loc II and every degree of the 30mm Alpine Kick.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SURF GRIP

• Clean the pad with fresh water after each session to remove salt and sand that can degrade the adhesive over time.
• Avoid folding or rolling up the pad before sticking it on: the Thermo-Lite foam can lose its shape under prolonged pressure.
• Before applying, clean the board's tail thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry completely to ensure maximum adhesion of the 3M adhesive.
• Do not expose the pad to direct sunlight for long periods without the board: extreme heat can alter the structure of the EVA foam.
