every time l go out to surf l start feeling sick to my stomach after about 2 hours the smell of the ocean and the rubber smell from the wetsuit just sucks. is there any way l can prevent this so l can keep on shredding? thanks p.s does anyone else get this?

when you go out to surf and you feel sick you should just paddle back into shore and take a quick 10 min. break to let your stomach settle down and l have been surfing a lot so the rubber smell kinda went away after me using it and washing it so many times. maybe you should just use it a lot and the smell will go away. hope this helps. have fun surfing!

1. Do not ever say ''keep on shredding it makes u sound like a kook & u probably are. (but that is ok because one day u probably wo not be)

2. On a less hostile note, l agree with what the guy before me said about taking a break when u get nauseous. Also, after a month or so of wearing & washing ur wetsuit the smell of the new neoprene will fade. l am suprised u can even smell it while you're in the water in the first place. Anyways, good luck with learning how to surf & with ur stomach issues.

Just take a break every once and a while.

While it may be motion sickness, l have never heard of anyone being that sensitive to get it while surfing & l have spent over 40 years surfing etc.. It might also be a bit of dehydration. Take a paddle in & drink some water or Gator Ade & then head back out. If it is really motion related, Dramamine is probably a good idea. Now, as far as the smell of the wetsuit, u have to get pretty funky to get sick from the smell of ur wetsuit. Read the question from a couple of days ago about wet suit care. And, good luck with that problem.

you could air it out (hang it outside) but like mentioned try washing it a couple times not a lot that it startes wearing but just enough to get the smell away you could even try febreeze?? thats a wierd smell to but its better than rubber

you can smell the ocean after 2 hours? wow.

Wow, you can smell your wetsuit while surfing? l can pretty much only smell salt water and my surf wax. Now when l take my booties off?? That is a whole 'nother story and yes that could make me sick.

l think John is probably right, you are probably getting dehydrated. l always drink a bottle of water before l go out and if l am going to be doing a long session try to keep another bottle on the beach. Eating a banana before you go out is another good move.

yeah mate l get this.when l hav a big nyt n go surfin or when the swell is big l just wana catch every wave l c then l start feedin the fish ie spewin up lol.. just dont try to catch every wave u c just rember there is more waves to come & drink water b4 u go in..if u spit heaps in the water thats y ur feelin sick ay ur getin dehighdreated coz ov the salt water..and the wetsuit thing mate give it a hose down once & a gain ay & hang it on the clothes line air that shyt right out ay
