Surfboard leash connection module

Abstract

A board connection module for detachably coupling a surfboard with a surfboard leash is provided. The leash may include a rail saver, a leash length, and an ankle strap. The leash length and rail saver couple the ankle strap with the board connection module. The board connection module detachably anchors the rail saver with an attachment pin of a leash cup of the surf board. The board connection module may engage the attachment pin of the leash cup with (a.) a cam lock; (b.) a cam lock configured with a push release element; (c.) a hooked shaft having a circular threaded end; (d.) a hook and loop attachment fabric.

       6 . In combination with a surfboard having an attachment pin and a surfboard leash, a board connection module comprising:
 a. a housing, the housing coupled with the leash and having a post;   b. a lever arm rotatably coupled with the housing, the lever arm spring biased to press against the post, and the lever arm configured to detachably capture the attachment pin.   
   
   
       7 . The board connection module of  claim 6 , wherein the board connection module further comprises a release arm, the release arm coupled with the lever arm, and the release arm configured to enable a user to manually manipulate the lever arm 
   
   
       8 . The board connection module of  claim 6 , wherein the post is curved. 
   
   
       9 . The board connection module of  claim 6 , wherein the housing comprises an aperture and the lever arm extending through the aperture. 
   
   
       10 . The board connection module of  claim 6  wherein the leash comprises a rail server, and the housing is coupled with the rail server. 
   
   
       11 . In combination with a surfboard having an attachment pin and a surfboard leash having, a board connection module comprising:
 a. a housing, the housing coupled with the leash and having a housing aperture;   b. a hook having a curved end and a threaded end, the hook extending through the housing aperture, and the hook configured to engage the attachment pin and pull the attachment pin toward the housing as the threaded end is driven away from the attachment pin; and   c. a handle, the handle having a threaded aperture configured to engage with and drive the threaded end of the hook.   
   
   
       12 . The board connection module of  claim 11 , wherein the handle is substantively round in two dimensions orthogonal to an axis of the threaded end of the hook. 
   
   
       13 . The board connection module of  claim 11 , wherein the housing further comprises a recession, the recession configured to accept at least part of the handle. 
   
   
       14 . In combination with a surfboard having an attachment pin and a surfboard leash, a board connection module comprising:
 a. a fixture and a fabric, the fixture having a fixed portion and a flap, the fixed portion affixed to the leash, and the flap presenting a flap closure material configured to detachably engage and hold the fabric; and   b. the fabric having a fabric closure material, the fabric coupled with the fixture and configured to detachably constrain the attachment pin, and fabric closure material detachably engage the fabric closure material.   
   
   
       15 . The board connection module of  claim 14 , wherein the fabric is a cord. 
   
   
       16 . The board connection module of  claim 14 , wherein the fabric is affixed to the fixture. 
   
   
       17 . The board connection module of  claim 14 , wherein the attachment pin is recessed within a leash cup of the surfboard. 
   
   
       18 . The board connection module of  claim 14 , wherein the leash comprises a rail server, and the fixture is coupled with the rail server. 
   
   
       19 . In combination with a sports device having an attachment pin and a leash, a board connection module comprising:
 a. a housing, the housing coupled with the leash;   b. a rotatable cam coupled with the housing, and the cam having an arm and a hook, the cam configured to translate rotation of the arm into linear motion of the hook;   c. the hook configured to engage the attachment pin and pull the cam towards the attachment pin when the rotation of the arm is translated into linear motion of the hook against the attachment pin.   
   
   
       20 . The board connection module of claim of  19  wherein the sports device is selected from the group consisting of a bodyboard, a skate board, a and a skim board.
