Abstract

A leash attachment for sport boards, such as surfboards, does not interfere with operation of the board, does not require any deformation or reconstruction of the board, and is extremely simple to apply yet very effective in utilization. The attachment includes an integral plastic body having a substantially flat bottom face and a contoured (as opposed to sharp edged) top, the contoured top defining an eye large enough to receive a leash. A double face very high bond permanent pressure sensitive adhesive tape is substantially permanently attached to the flat bottom face, and to a sport board, e.g. at or adjacent the rear termination of a surfboard. The integral body may be hard plastic comprising about 30-50% glass filled injection moldable thermoplastic resin, or of elastomeric material such as urethane elastomer having a durometer of between about 60-90 Shore A. The body has a larger length than width and a small height and a substantially almond shaped configuration in plan.
