  • Patent number: 4340376
    Abstract: A portable locking device for surfboards equipped with adjustable surfboard fin holders. A U shaped padlock eye attaches to the base of the surfboard fin by means of the retaining screw which retains the surfboard fin in the fin holder. A locking bracket is placed over and locked to the padlock eye with a padlock together with the ends of a flexible member which connects the surfboard to a fixed object. When locked in place, the locking bracket prevents the unauthorized removal of the padlock eye from the surfboard by preventing access to the surfboard fin retaining screw and by preventing the rotation of the padlock eye and surfboard fin retaining screw.
