I agree, I've never been seasick in my life but the first time out on open water in a weird chop and swell and my stomach started telling me to go in. I may have been okay eventually but I didn't want to wait and find out. Open water is totally different than the bays. If you want to find out go to Mission Bay and paddle out to the mouth of the bay. Get the feel for the swell coming in and the chop from the boats. I did that a few times before I went out and I still had a problem.
