What is proper body positioning in a watercraft?

Proper body positioning in a watercraft involves sitting up straight with your back against the seat, keeping your feet flat on the floor or footrests for stability. Your knees should be slightly bent to absorb shocks from waves, and your hands should grip the steering or control mechanism firmly but not rigidly. Maintain a relaxed posture to improve balance and control, while also being prepared to shift your weight as needed for maneuvering.
