Getting On Board

Before getting into the water, know all your controls and do not start your watercraft in less than waist-deep water. Pay attention to your environment and others and take it slow without taking off at a top speed.  Start with a speed of 5mph-10mph until you are away from the shoreline. 

Do not tight your hands unnecessarily on the hand bar as it will make your hands tired and pain in the shoulder. All you need to do is hold firmly, relax, make sure you are balanced and centered, and ride. Avoid looking at the hand bar and water; instead, look towards the horizon as it will help you stay in the right direction.
