Unless there’s written regulation there’s no regulation on Efoils. The coast guard has no regulation on Efoils at the moment 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Actually the USCG did come out with requirements in August 2022 that basically says comply with state level Numbering systems, Wear a PFD, Comply with 33 CFR 83 Inland Navigation Rules, and comply with ECOS (a non-issue for fliteboard owners). The link to the info is the Video description.

Would have loved some more detail on board registration in CA. Needed for riding in the Bay/ocean? More necessary in lakes?

Many state run lakes and reservoirs require registration and mussel tags. It doesn't hurt to register your board as it opens up more places for your to ride and it's super easy.

NEVER use 3rd party screws unless you know the pitch and material of the Fliteboard screws. If you get the thread pitch wrong, it’s a recipe for stripping the threads! And if you get the wrong coating of screw, it can rust and seize! Just buy spare screws from Fliteboard.

The specification for the threading and mm length are in the user manual. They are M6 x"__"mm 316 stainless (marine grade) which are readily availible most hardware store especially boat shops. The screws also do not need special coating as you are supposed to clean and reapply tefgel periodically to avoid seizing.

@@BayFoils What you have written is not the Thread Pitch! M6 X __ mm is the size, nothing to do with the gaps and height of the threads! This can strip your screw holes if it doesn’t match the original screws. Every screw I have seen at Home Depot is a cheap zinc plated screw, nothing marine grade. I would not risk it - just order the screws from Fliteboard directly.

Don't get them from home depot then go to a marine part store or shop online at mcmaster-carr this is the exact bolt you can buy in bulk www.mcmaster.com/product/93395A360. Standard thread pitch for M6 bolts is 1mm and they're usually labeled when they use different spacing. I've bought numerous m6 screw from various vendors and I've never locked a bolt.
