PWCs do not turn with the throttle off.
That's it in a nutshell!! Rookies don't understand that and immediately shut down the throttle when they should be holding speed and turning. Its a mistake they make because the first thing they wanna do is slow down.

I turned 50 last year; last year was the first time I rode one of them wicked machines... My SIL told me first and most impotant rule to remember was "no gas no steering" and he was not lying either.... Was an older Yamaha and was dam fast for its small size too....
