wood tail block "kite tail" leash attachment

I call this the Kite Tail leash attachment because it offers minimum resistance when caught in a wave, similar to the way a kite will not offer enough resistance to continue flying if held by the tail. The key is that the leash attaches (to the stringer) at the very rear of the board, not anywhere on the deck like is normally the case. Its a wood tail block with a twist, so to speak :-)
