The present invention discloses a lace end assembly having a male end connector (106) and a female end connector. The lace end assembly uses an integrated magnet (108) in one connector that interacts with another magnet in the other connector to couple the connectors. The male end connector is adapted to retain a knotted end of a pair of laces (102, 104), such as found in a wakeboard binding. The female end connector is mounted on the wakeboard binding. The male end connector includes a protrusion (107) that houses a first magnet. The female end connector includes a body portion that houses a second magnet. The female end connector also includes a cavity. The cavity receives the male end connector to allow the magnet to align and link magnetically, thus securing the lace ends to the binding. |
