Don't know what it was; maybe the combination of open ocean swells with heat and humidity on this particular day, since I'd paddled in swells before with no problem, and since. Controlled it by focusing my sight in one spot, and heading back to shore, pronto! Contributing to the list of things to avoid... the smell of cigarette smoke. I've been seasick on a dive trip in Hawaii, too... smell of diesel and cigarettes... was tossed overboard to bob around in the water for a while to get over it. Sounds silly, but it worked! I've used Transderm Scopalamine but found that it affected my judgment and made me a little too loopy for diving. Yes, I am prone to motion sickness and have even experienced it on a swing....
