    STEP 11 : JOYSTICK (OPTIONAL) The joystick allows you to control Zapata Flyride™ (height and direction) from the watercraft. It is especially recommended for use with children. The person on the watercraft will accelerate directly from the watercraft. Never use the EMK trigger with the joystick because, in addition to being dangerous, this may not meet the same laws governing Hydro-flying in force in your country.
