In NSW electric foils vessels are classified under the Marine Safety Act 1998 as a personal watercraft (PWC).

When a pwc is above 6knots you must stay 30meters from other vessels.

I think e foils are great, but please keep clear of other surfers, wingers, foilers by at least 30meters.

Please don't get upset if someone asks you to keep 30meters from them!
