Freestone, whose career highlights range from 2x World Junior Titles to comboing Kelly Slater in heaving Teahupoo last year, says the deal gives him much-needed peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving full faith in your equipment is crucial,\u201d says Freestone. \u201cAt the end of the day as a surfer that\u2019s something you can\u2019t put a price on. Creatures put more thought and effort than anyone when making sure their leashes, tailpads, and boardcovers do what you need them to. I\u2019m really excited to be continuing on with them into the foreseeable future.\u201d<br \/>\nWith the competitive season on hold, Jack has been sharpening his skills and testing his equipment around his home in Kauai. Always fine-tuning his approach is something Freestone also brings across when contributing input for his signature Creatures styles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJack\u2019s super intuitive when it comes to his equipment,\u201d says head of product and brand at Creatures, Beau Campi. \u201cHis feedback on how it feels, looks and performs is invaluable for us in constantly making things better. He\u2019s a major asset to Creatures, both as a surfer and someone who helps us push to improve what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freestone\u2019s signature Creatures styles include his wide tail pad design, which suits his bigger feet. At Jack\u2019s direction, they\u2019re all made from THERMO-LITE materials too, keeping everything thinner, lighter and more responsive. In keeping with Jack\u2019s environmentally-conscious nature he also insisted on a more sustainable EcoPure\u00ae option that has been released this year.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Freestone\u2019s signature hardware designs, head to:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.creatures.com.au\/collections\/jack-freestone\">https:\/\/www.creatures.com.au\/collections\/jack-freestone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contest surfer Jack Freestone has just re-signed with surf hardware company&nbsp;Creatures of Leisure until 2022.
