Har-har, ratty that was me! Dropping mad facts. Wrote directly w DMV to establish content in that reddit thread.Ratty wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 9:49 amSparr, Thank you for clarifiying that. I don't care what reddit does or doesn't do. I don't go there. I do care about misinformation. The Reddit page you posted isn't factual. Unless you have contacted BM and have more info than those 2 links, there is nothing there to substantiate banning them. Whoever posted that on Reddit should have done their homework before spreading rumors.

Re: Electric LED Surfboards?
The DMV did not recently ban the motorized surfboards. They have not been allowed since the early 2000’s when they imposed the mutant vehicle license rule for motorized vehicles.
Re: Electric LED Surfboards?
What is a rule if so obviously unenforced?

Re: Electric LED Surfboards?
Simply that, a rule not being enforced. That can be for a variety of reasons and just because the rule was unenforced doesn’t mean the surfboards were welcome. Saying that they “aren’t allowed anymore” or “banned” relative to this year is a bit of a stretch. Those statements are true, but they have been for something like 15 years.
That being said, I do think they are cool and hope the creators of these things can find away to be approved and licensed with the dmv.
Re: Electric LED Surfboards?
The new rules are the result of an extensive process that intended to be explicit in what personal vehicles are allowed and not. Electric skateboards are banned, and not in the way they were last year. At least as far as I understand it from my convo w dmv.
I do think it was a mistake to leave them off the list but somehow include hoverboards. And people have questioned whether this will actually be enforced in any way.
FWIW, guys on these boards rolled into our camp bar last year and were not super cool dudes. So I won't be missing them a lot.

PnP patrons no doubt, lemme guess all wearing the same knee length white fur coats that look like they just left the dry cleaners?
Sooner or later, it will get real strange...
