Hey fluffflinger.
We are glad to know that you do have a genuine interest in personal safety.
All of our sometimes "Silly" rules and regulations here in the States, are written and governed by the US Coast Guard. They are set for fresh and saltwater.
Their (Coast Guard) primary concern is for the personal safety and well being of all types of watercraft including boats, rafts, canoes, float tubes, pontoons and jet skiis.
Any type of craft on the water is their concern. They want to make it clear that safety is #1 which will minimize(not eliminate) dangerous and unneccessary rescues.
All in all, while we are out on our little beach toys, we are governed by an entity that we don't always agree with but must obey.[cool]
