Well I have the same thing but I have just realised that if you start to SURF IT IS LIKE YOU`VE SOLD YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL it has it good sides and bad ones to

This is common among boaters. Ive never heard of a windsurfer having it, but its not that surprising I think. It likely represents some kind of persistent stimulation in your vestibular apparatus (the part of your inner ear responsible for sensing motion), though I suppose it could also be due to the parts of the brain that process this sensory input.

The first thing I would try is scopalamine / dramamine patches...that are sold for motion sickness. I know people who use accupressure bands that go on their wrists who claim that this helps them prevent motion sickness....the mechanism of how this works being based on oriental theories of nerve function. I dont understand it, but if it works, so what.
