WARNING
Avoid forceful jet thrust and limited visibil-
ity while reboarding. Get to a standing or
kneeling position quickly, but do not ex-
pose yourself to the forceful jet thrust.
(6) Move as far forward as possible without
interfering with the movement of the han-
dlebars. Keep your body perpendicular to
the water, with your weight forward and
low.
(7) Once the bow drops, and the watercraft
has leveled out in the water and reached
planing speed, back off the throttle and
select your desired speed.
NOTE:
The watercraft will become easier to bal-
G
ance as the speed increases, because jet
thrust provides stability as well as direction-
al control.
It will take longer for a heavier operator to
G
reach planing speed than it will for a light
operator.
