ABSTRACT:
A securing device for surfboards comprising a mechanism securely attached to a length of cable with the cable having a fixed loop at its end opposite the mechanism. The mechanism consists of a body and a sleeve both containing complementary notches and holes which allow the device to attach to the metal pin contained in a surf leash anchoring device, commonly referred to as a "leash plug". Once attached to the leash plug, the securing device permits attachment of a typical mid-sized padlock which when locked prevents the removal of the securing device from the leash plug. Prior to attaching the securing device to the leash plug, the user wraps the cable around a fixed object, then passes the securing device through the fixed loop in the cable, forming a secure attachment to the fixed object. Additionally, the mechanism and cable may be put through any objects with openings large enough to allow the passage of the mechanism and cable, such as a wetsuit sleeve or leg. The user then attaches the securing device to the leash plug and locks it in place with a padlock, preventing the removal of the surfboard and any objects that have had the device passed through them.
