Abstract: A sportsboard locking apparatus for a sportsboard having an attachment channel having an elongated insertion groove indented on an attachment surface of the sportsboard and an engagement groove perpendicular extended along the insertion groove, wherein the sportsboard locking apparatus includes an engagement member having an engaging latch transversely formed at a foot end of an outer surface thereof and a first shackle bore, a locking member having a predetermined thickness and a second shackle bore, and an attachment device for slidably attaching the locking member to the engagement member that limits the locking member to move longitudinally with respect to the engagement member between a locking position and an unlocking position.

Abstract: A sportsboard locking apparatus for securing sportsboard from theft includes a simple, multiple element apparatus which engages elements of a standard sportsboard and further provides for a method by which the sportsboard may be secured to a stationary article avoiding theft. The apparatus operates simply with few moving parts and fits standard sportsboard designs. A cross bar is intimate to the sportsboard's body and located within a cylindrical cup which is recessed below the sportsboard's outer surface, the cross bar being securely fixed to the board's core structure. The apparatus incorporates a hooked element which surrounds the crossbar and a pin element which encloses the cross bar within a space formed between pin and hook element's engagement end.
