ABSTRACT:
A combination leash attachment and lock for surfboard includes a generally cylindrical plug receptacle having an outwardly extending annular lip and cylindrical end portions is received within a cylindrical aperture within a surfboard foam core. An assembly process shows the fabrication of a surfboard in a manner securing the plug receptacle within the foam core. Following the fiberglassing step of surfboard fabrication, the extending end portions of the plug receptacle are removed by sanding, grinding or other suitable processes. The plug receptacle defines an interior recess which receives a generally cylindrical leash plug to which an ankle leash may be secured and extend from the upper surface of the surfboard. With the leash plug removed, the plug receptacle provides a convenient passage through the surfboard which may be used to carry a locking mechanism or other security apparatus to prevent theft of the surfboard.
