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.

O'fish'l Surfboard Fins How To Info

O'fish'l Surf Products, the fastest, easiest system available! Wondering why, or how?

O'fish'l Fins literally "snap" in. For those of you who don't know, O'fish'l Fins require NO SCREWS or KEYS. These fins are held in place by a plastic Z-clip that is situated in the back of the box. To install the fin, simply put the front of the fin into the box and push the fin down until it reaches the leading edge of the Z-clip. From here, hit the top of the fin and you will hear the "snap". The "snap" is the sound of the Z-clip coming over the trailing edge of the fin, ensuring you that your fin is NOT coming out! Therefore, it is literally a "snap".

No screws or keys? Why? Screws get stripped and over time begin to rust. Our patented Z-clip will never get stripped or begin to rust keeping you board cherry as ever. There is nothing worse than trying to fight a stripped screw to get your favorite, not to mention, expensive fins out of your old board and into your new one. To take your fins in or out, O'fish'l uses only your hands which you always have around.

O'fish'l Products are made to be simple and easy to use which has been tested for the past 20+ years! When ordering or inquiring about a new board give O'fish'l Fins a try, and I'll bet you won't be sorry you did.
