2018 GS22 - How do we get a good/consistent wave?

[cb_surf]

We just got a 2018 GS22 and are struggling to get a decent wave on a regular basis. Every time we start, even in the same session, it looks different and is usually not good. We are on the Columbia River and have the river settings on and we go one direction so we're not switching up and down river. We don't have any extra ballast weight yet, but even so it seems like the boat should be able to create a better wave. The wave is long and lacks fullness making it almost impossible to stay in it without the rope.

We have the settings at NSS = 0 and NCRS = 5 (which I believe is the standard setting) and even when we mess with those numbers it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

We are novice surf boat owners, so would greatly appreciate any advice!

With NSS at zero, the wave is supposed to be long and mellow.

Crank NSS up to 5 for a steeper wave.

I am not familiar with your river, but if your depth is less than about 20 feet, you will not get a good wave. Shallow water will not allow the wave to form.

Check out this video for more info. You can skip to about 3:10 for the NSS and NCRS setting info.
