Steering by the seat of your pants

How about a steerable skeg (or one fitted with a movable auxillary surface like an airplane's aileron) that is controlled by differential pressure from your bum? When you lean to initiate a turn, it would automatically engage. It would augment proper technique, like power steering.

You heard it here first!
