Depending on the manufacturer's design those pontoons range in shape from simple cylinders, to cylinders with "angle iron" appended for some "bite" on the surface to pointy, canoelike profiles. All of these shapes tend to simply glide atop the surface much like a flat stone skipped across a puddle making directional control sluggish at best at slow speed. As stated as well, wind complicates things considerably if it happens to be blowing in any direction other than that you desire; adding to the fun and art of steering what is essentially 2 LP gas cylinders lashed together with an engine stuck between.
