Abstract: An anchor for mounting on a surfboard adjacent its trailing end for connection to a leash includes a plug element defined by opposed front and back ends and elongate, spaced-apart non-parallel sides extending from the front and back ends. The elongate sides may taper inwardly, and the plug element is sized to be inserted and seat within a complementary cavity formed in the deck of the surfboard, adjacent its trailing edge. The cavity is dimensioned with tapering sides as well, thereby to inhibit rearward movement of the plug element relative to the surfboard. The plug element, in a preferred embodiment, has elongate sides which give the plug element the overall appearance of a triangle, or truncated pyramid shape.
