The inside float wants to fly, it is the outside float you need to worry about...
First, all comments are should be considered worth the price you pay me
If you are not proficient in the plane, stop reading, and go practice...
Step turns, (both floats in water), put down and side force on the outside float. If you are turning downwind to upwind, you will have more down/side force on the float from the cross wind. If it is much wind, you are in the wrong spot! How much wind... experience tells you- every plane is different.
Book says lift water rudders... but if you really are putting the turn in, they are helpful down.
When you slide, or skip, you are going to fast, and need to lift the outside float, or slow down the speed, or turn rate.
put full alieron into the turn. Use rudders to compensate. (book says full ball deflection max). Depending on the floats and plane, (aquas turn like they are on rails), you can really crank in a turn with rudder. It is all by feel. (tighten your seat belt).
Passengers hate step turns.
Do not practice on a lake with lots of boats, gets to rough and you will skip, if a float grabs on a skip, you can fold it under.
I like to use 25mph minimum in the cub, and will often be in a turn through liftoff. It takes more power to turn than to go strait, so add some as you enter.
At some point, if you get good, you can put full alieron in before your power, and do the entire takeoff in a turn- plow, step and lift off. Amazing how small a lake you can use doing that, and yes, you will lift one float at some point in the turn.
Lift rudders before you land.
