Flexible surf leash guide sleeve housing

Abstract

A flexible housing member 20 for enclosing the connection of a surf leash 05 to an anchor plug 10. The turret shaped housing member 20, having a base 29 with a centered base opening 22, is rotatably mounted to a bodyboard 02. By employing an anchor plug 10 through the base opening 22, an axis point for the housing member 20 is provided for projecting the surf leash in a desired direction. As the anchor plug 10 is tightened, the guide sleeve housing 20 is held with rotational friction to the desired direction. Thin optional washers, 50 and 65, between the anchor plug 10 and the guide sleeve base 29, may be used to adjust the rotational friction holding the guide sleeve passage 32 position. The surf leash guide sleeve housing 20, comprised of a flexible material such as rubber, provides a character of resilience allowing a leash 05 to be pulled in any direction, and urged to return to the desired position as a pulling force is released.
