I often surf my kayak in relatively cold water, which can result in a lot of
cold water entering my ears. To combat this problem, I wear ear plugs, not
to prevent dizziness but for surfers ear. The plugs prevent water from
entering my ears and still  allow me to hear. I purchased my ear plugs from
a dive shop. If the dizziness is caused by cold water entering the ears,
this should solve the problem.
