This was discussed a couple of years ago, and if I remember correctly,
the SFBA was even considering selling (providing?) a "white board" like
message pads (like the ones that go on the refrig), that you would
write your name, equipment description and maybe a emergency phone # on
and leave it on your dashboard. This would provide all the info you
need, and your buddies would even know what sail size/board you were on!
This would be the least ambiguous method of identifying your circumstance.
