Sinuses killing me I need more air

[Proformance1]

Well I have done better flat water roll attempts than this before, but this is the one Frosty sends me film of. Thanks alot :friday: I need to get more air so that I don't sound all congested for three days after riding all the time. Maybe if I could get those set up wakes down, hmmm....

[Frosty]

LOL... sorry bro...

[Big Kahuna]

only suggestion is to remove the gas cap, kick the SXR to the side and slide a SJ in its place, reinstall gas cap.................

ok, bad joke.

Get some old fashion nose spray. It cuts the snot pretty good.

Nose spray, seriously will that help? Like salt water spray or what? Oh yeah I think I just bought an 05 SJ that is somewhat modified, details to follow after the money changes hands and my wife kills me for havin 4 skis! :smashfreakB:

[tor*p*do]

afrin at your local CVS works

[Matt_E]

Is that picture 1/4 or 3/4 roll?

[Proformance1]

1/4 with no set up wake on flat water. Like I said it wasn't one of the better tries of the weekend, it was just one that Frostys wife caught on film. I can't seem to get the height to make it without a wave or boat wake.

[tom21]

looks just like mine, sucks don't it?

[Matt_E]

Without a setup wake, it's going to be tough.
Spend some time practicing setup wakes.

Netti pot with saline solution. Works fast and won't irritate your sinus cavity!!!! Can be had at walgreens, cvs, gnc, etc...!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a gnarley sinus infection last year. Couldn't breath for 3 weeks. I had to get antibiotics.

[SKItarist750]

i can't breathe through my nose for at least 12 hrs after coming off the lake. but vicks vapor inhaler stick seems to help. i hate nasal spray because of the way it runs down the back of your throat...yuck! worse than the first time i did blow and had that drip go down my throat

[Midlake Crisis]

I double up on Allegra the days I ride, I also have a sinus rinse thing from RiteAid called Neil Med Sinsus Rinse or something like that. I think the Allegra helps the most.
My Dad loves Afrin but says it is bad to get hooked on it because if you use it more than a few days you start to close up worse than before without it (which is where he is at with it).

[Proformance1]

yeah, I still having issues even with the new SJ. I bought the afrin, which worked but everyone says don't use it, it's adictive fast. Saline solution is the way to go. I'm going to have to get it worked out soon or visit the doctor :thumbsdown:

[djkorn1]

My left side is plugged sinse Sunday too. I used Allegra and tons of caffeine to clear is out. It is better today. I have to start landing plate to plate so I don't snort so much damn water!

[5810]

Get one of that!!!!!!!!! Problem solved!!!!!!!!

The cheap walmart saline worked great! I think i am doing something wrong upon entering the water. I try blowing out as i go in, maybe I should just hold my breath?

[djkorn1]

Me too. I'm a mess again. I am gonna try noseplugs.

[Cliff]

a riding buddy of ours now wears nose and ear plugs everytime he rides. seems to be helping him tremendously.

[djkorn1]

I just need them on wave days...The inverted stabs turn my nose into an intake grate.

[SXR-FOREVER]

I always use afrin after riding, no "adictiveness" or anything.

Plus I always blowmy nose whenever I come in even if I dont need to just to make sure I get alot of the lake ******** out.

[djkorn1]

Nose clamp helped alot today. I have to practice 'not blowing air' out of my nose when I go under water. I think thats letting it in.

[Proformance1]

That is exactly what I think I am doing, blowing air out and letting water in. Holding my breath my be a better idea.

[djkorn1]

It's hard to change the habit. I am now on Anti-biotics again...

[Proformance1]

Aghhh, that sucks man. I already wear ear plugs from slappin my head down all the time. If I have to start wearin nose plugs I'm out. LOL I think I'm gettin a head enema:eek2:

[djkorn1]

I can finally breathe. It has been a week! Gotta keep that damn water out.

[djkorn1]

Used a nose plug 1/2 the day today...It sank unfortunately. I learned to NOT breath out again and it made a big difference, no water in the schnozzz today!

[Proformance1]

I'll hopefull be trying that later today, thanks for the update!

[crossr]

son of a bitch, I thought I was the only one with this problem. I can't get much sleep at night after riding because my sinuses are slammed shut. I thought about trying the nose plugs that kayakers wear. I have allegra but I always forget to take it.
