O'fish'l Surf Products, "Glue-On" Leash Attachment has been tested to hold up to 350lbs using a unique blend of fiberglass micro-fibers and epoxy to provide a bullet proof hold. The test was achieved by one of our long time customers, Gregg Heddrick, who uses our "Glue-On" Leash Attachments on multimillion dollar yachts and speed boats in order to fasten objects to the decks, rails, or any surfaces for that matter!

The "Glue-On" Leash Attachment from O'fish'l Surf Products is most commonly seen and used in the surf industry as leash plugs, and as pieces that make up the SUP Handle Kits. As demonstrated by, Gregg Heddrick, these "Glue-On" Leash Plugs can be used in many different applications such as, kayaks, boats, surfboards, stand-up paddle boards, and even can be bonded to surfaces like wood, fiberglass, and carbon fiber.

O'fish'l Surfboard Super Leash Plug

Most surfers look at a surfboard and see the obvious, nose, tail, outline, color, and fins or boxes. On the other hand, there are a select few who actually appreciate the work and detail that goes into making these performance water crafts. Such as, concave and how seamless they are blended, rocker, and even the glass job. The one thing that almost everyone will overlook would be the leash plug!

Lucky for me I notice things like that because O'fish'l makes the best leash plug on the market, the "Super Plug". The Super Plug is a 100% sealed leash plug that can be glassed over. Having a plug that is under the glass is a no-brainer. Your board will never take on water around the plug, no filler ring, and it is simply stronger. For the board manufacturers who use resin tints, the Super Plug is your best option because there will not be a white filler ring around the plug creating an eye sore that takes away from an immaculate glass job. One easy way to identify the O'fish'l Super Plug from the others is by looking at the bar inside the plug. The Super Plug uses a brass bar which will not rust or react with plastic. Other imitations consist of a stainless steel bar which will corrode and react with the plastic causing leaks and possible weak points.

Next time you go into a shop, be one of those people who notice the little things and details. Once you start looking you will notice how clean the O'fish'l Super Plug is and how many of them there are.
