Riding on a hovercraft feels like you are asleep in bed, but you can feel your body start to drift off. it is a smooth gliding feeling unlike any other.  I would tell you to be willing to let go of control and to just enjoy the feeling of no resistance (equilibrium).  It is different from any other form of transportation in that you do not feel the surface you are moving over.  I learned that when you are pushed on the hovercraft that once you are moving you have reached an equilibrium or constant velocity, and that the net force being implied on you are 0 Newtons.  Acceleration depends on the force applied in a direction, versus the force applied in the opposite direction. Constant velocity would be obtained when the hovercraft is no longer being pushed and is moving on its own.  Some members were harder to stop than others because they had greater mass, and therefore greater inertia.
