Ginger is pretty good, her sister is hot too. All kidding aside, some folks can take the big swells and not the flat days. Others are just the opposite. Sympathy illness is common with sea sickness also (one guy starts more people getting sick). I have seen guys get sick just watching another guy choke down the heart of their first Tuna. There are lots of tricks, like focusing afar, that can and do help many avoid getting sick. I try not to eat much before I launch, and only snack on the water. The position I am in on my yak is not real good for digestion, but great for causing acid stomach.
