Over the counters like bonine and Dramamine work well but like others said, they can leave you drowsy. I've never used the patch but several of my buddies that have and swear by it. There's also a scopalamine pill now called scopase that is supposed to be great. I get seasick on boats very rarely. Never ever on a kayak. The motion of a boat is different than a kayak. Yaks go up n down and wobble a bit. Boats can do big heavy rolls from side to side. Those can get to me. So I guess what I'm saying is changing kayaks won't help you. I've been surfing 35 years and have never heard of a surfer getting seasick. Smaller things move differently Mike
