1.The passenger must steady the water- craft while the operator is boarding. The operator pulls himself up onto the plat- form into a seating position, then bal- ances the vehicle.

3.The passenger pulls himself up on the platform kneels down, then crawls onto the seat as the watercraft accelerates.
