JETSURF ADVENTURE DFI PLUS - Riding Control: Throttle, Turning, and Techniques

35
DFI003/EN_part A
If it is not possible to start the JetSurf™ again af-
ter stopping on water, we do not recommend
repeating the starting procedure more
than three times. It is necessary to get the
JetSurf™ on bank and check it there.

CONTROL - THROTTLE
During the very rst ride, the rider should learn
how to operate the control handle and acceler-
ate. this skill is crucial for JetSurf™. The rider
can stay in the lying or kneeling position. Only
when he/she knows how to control the throttle,
he/she can stand up.

CONTROL - TURNING
The next important step is turning. You turn the
board by tilting the whole vessel to one or the
other side.

CONTROL - RIDING
The rider may be lying or kneeling. Only when
he/she is sure how to control the throttle, he/
she can stand up. Standing up is performed
from the position kneeling on the engine cover.
If you want to stand up, make sure you have
sucient space for manoeuvring, you are not
crossing the path of any other vessel and there is no swimmer or obstacle near your JetSurf. When
standing up, it is necessary to be riding fast enough (the board is stable and riding without
bigger resistance).
The way how to stand up from kneeling down is individual.
For beginners we recommend placing rst one foot in the rear strap – left foot if you hold the control
handle in your right hand or left foot if you hold the handle in your left hand.
If you have your foot rmly in the rear strap, place the other foot in the front strap – FIGURE 6.
When standing up, it is necessary to keep a constant speed, stand up gradually and not to stop
halfway through.
If the rider falls down during getting up, repeat the whole procedure step by step. After every fall,
JetSurf
TM
recommend continuing straight ride lying or kneeling for a while so that the bilge pumps can
pump out the water which might have got into the engine compartment during the fall.
Always watch the time for which you are riding in water. With full tank,
you can ride for 0.8 hours. Do not forget to have some reserve to be able
to get back to the bank. When returning back to land, please keep in mind
any potential swimmers near the bank and sucient depth of water.
