all kiteboards with inserts are using the snowboard inserts which is sized at m6, the only difference is the length of the screw. So measure one of your other screws, go to the hardware store and buy a bolt that same length that's m6. yes it's standardized.

cheaper to go to local hardware store...
but search "Click'n'Go Fin Screws" on your fav search engine if you want the original nobile screws.

Did your original have the (orange) fold-over hand tightening system?
If so, they can be expensive to replace.
A regular bolt as per your link should be fine, though you may need a stainless steel washer to help spread the load.
Be sure to measure the thread correctly - too long and it could not tighten up enough or worse, damage the underside of the board.
Too short and it may come out again.
If it's prone to loosening then you may need some appropriate threadlock solution in there.
Good luck.

Use a small touch of Loctite Blue thread locker (do NOT use Loctite Red thread locker which is designed to be permanent!).

My fins and handle are the fold over bolt style, foot pads are just regular philips stainless M6 bolts. I found a galvanized M6 bolt at homedepot as a temporary replacement until I find a stainless steel solution. I was eyeing up a couple M6 5mm Allen head bolts on amazon. They're way too long but I could just cut them down with my grinder..

Try a marine supply store like west marine, they will likely have the length you are looking for in stainless steel, I have gotten them there before
