Parking & access
The forum identifies China Beach as the departure area but gives no lot, carry, powered-craft permission, shoreline entry or landing. Verify current rules before bringing an efoil.
“A Progression Project forum San Francisco contributor reports using an efoil on big days while riding out from China Beach. The post does not state the destination, track, distance, wave size, entry lane or whether the trip returned to the same beach, so this is stored as a departure area rather than a route.”
