Section 3
Adjusting NSS Settings
NSS has 6 unique settings that change the shape of the wakesurf
wave. The higher the number the steeper or more "vert" the
wakesurf wave will become. 5 is associated with the most vert
wakesurf wave, and is also the most likely to be "washy" due to how
steep the wave is. The lower the NSS setting, the more "ramp" like
the wakesurf wave will become. Having an NSS setting of 0 would
create the mellowest or most ramp-like wakesurf wave, which would
also create the "cleanest" wakesurf wave. So in general, to clean the
wakesurf wave up, move the NSS settings toward 0. To make the
wakesurf wave steeper or make the wave shorter, move the NSS
setting toward 5. The factory NSS setting has been set you 0
because with factory ballast this creates the best all-around wave for
the user.
How to Switch Wakesurf Sides
To change the wave side that can be surfed from one side of the
boat to the other, the user can simply press the "switch surf" soft key
(the second key from the bottom in Figure 2). Once the button has
been pressed, the extended wave plate will retract and the inactive
wave plate will be deployed to the current NSS setting almost
instantly. The user should also notice that the icon indicating
which side to surf has updated to indicate the side of the wave
currently being surfed.
Other Ways to Adjust the Wakesurf Wave
NSS is a very effective tool to adjust the wakesurf wave; however it is
not the only option available to you. To further adjust and change
the shape of the wave for wakesurfing the boat can be slightly
offloaded toward the side of the surfer. This should produce a
cleaner wakesurf wave.
Be sure to avoid offloading the side
opposite the wakesurfer as this can be detrimental to the wakesurf
wave. If the user prefers to wakesurf strictly by offloading the boat
(without NSS) then NSS can be turned off by pressing the on/off
button on the LINC surf page.
