This is the glass-type vented leash plug, made to be glued into the board and laminated over. It is a drop-in replacement for standard plastic 32mm (1 1/4") OD plugs with a thickness of 16mm (5/8").
The plugs are precision machined from Spotted Gum, a strong, dense and hard timber found on the east coast of Australia.
We offer both an unvented and vented version. The vented version has a durable Gore-Tex/Teflon based vent which is adhered to the underside of the leash plug with a 10mm diameter hole to provide ample membrane area for rapid venting. Air can easily flow out of the surfboard if it heats up in the sun, but doesn't allow water in.
Both versions feature a 1.5mm resin lip, similar to conventional products on the market, to make laminating a breeze. Simply apply masking tape to the top of the lip before laminating and you'll be left with a perfectly flush finish after sanding.
It is an easy and simple alternative to a screw based venting system and provides a peace of mind solution to pressure related surfboard problems.
