Yes, but if you can show, that you do not violate the consecuting rule, which gathers the sense and reason for the detailed rules above, you can become legal.
There are three regulations there PowerGlider each their own for safety reasons. If you want to change Transports Canada’s vessel reg’s go for it but as they stand now having gone over this specifically with them its a no go with propeller (impellers are not classes a propeller under their reg’s and free to be used within a jet drive).
I assume Canada would require the motorized surf board to be registered.
From what I found anything that floats powered by a motor in NY requires a registration. In order to get a registration I need a Hull ID. It appears you can get a hull ID by applying and saying it is a homemade boat.
Anybody no more about what the law is?
Yes we have very similar laws to USA, Germany, and many others in that regard. They all need hull identification numbers
Chris, do we have to register our boards in the USA? Does Lift?
Yes, and yes. Lift and other efoil/jet surfboards must supply the HIN number on each board, its up to you to register it.

The interesting part of both propellers is that they are made of steel … the one in which the inventor puts his arm in in the video and the AEGIS one made by Turning Point the manufacturer.
Back to the LIFT topic, nice picts taken by @Carpi in Nov 2018.
Still according to @Carpi , the LIFT motor is “Direct Drive” = connected directly to the prop…
Flying Rodeo has also gone direct drive now. I know he has a lift foil as well and I also know that Lift has been testing his motors. I wonder if there is some collaboration or whether its just competitors testing each others products…

2019 LIFT range of products, very informative… 60cm mast, 110 race front wing (50kmph), 132cm (4’4") board, folding prop, …

It looks like the lift motor is in the region of 65mm x 140mm. I have’t got exact measurements, but that is my guesstimate based on measurements of images. I think that would be good starting point for a custom inrunner.
The first revision of the Lift folding propeller is sold … 1000 USD according to Lift Instagram account

Hi All,
I was wondering does anyone know what KV Lift efoils are running? 80KV or 100KV?
In 2016, Nick LEASON hired 4 bad asses to develop the LIFT “Wireless controller” patent with priority date 2017-04-10
US10235870B2 - Wireless controller - Google Patents with direct link to 12 page pdf here
Once again, it seems that there was some prior art, here in the flyboard fied developped by the French from Zapata Racing as early as Sept 2014 (see video below) later confirmed in the US in March 2015 to control remotely the power of their sea scooter (Seadoo, Kawasaki, YAmaha, Honda, …)
This remote was very innovative for its time : 300ft (100m) range, ability to work underwater, hall-effect trigger, resin touch-sensitive buttons, screw cap water resistant to 30 meters, wrist strap
First generation of wireless remote, always a pleasure to watch whether you know or don’t know what the flyboard is:

Sympathetic girl, but she talks too much 
That’s a 9V battery they are connecting. It’s a very interesting looking ESC at 1:21.
