i forgot my wetty the other day and sailed in my boardies and a rashy.

i think the combination of saltwater and a fresh 20knt breeze from the south, has left me with a pair of sore bee stings.

any other sufferers, any miracle cures?????

Haemorrhoid cream like Rectinol. Takes swelling down and also has local anaesthetic.

Second choice a cream like Paxyl or similar that contains Lignocaine

but the hot water in the shower is making them hurt

try lemon juice, applied liberally with a scouring pad, then allow to dry in the sun. never tried this one but sounds like it might work.

I take it you're no ex navy seal...

make sure you don't forget your undies next time. freeballin in a wetsiut does absolutely nothing good to your bag, if you know what i mean.

stick bandaids on them

I suffer from chaffing and sweat rashes in some pretty inconvenient places so this is a subject which I've had to address, thankfully I've got a clever wife

Lanolin (available from any chemist in tube form)
This is good for armpits and nipples if you have problems with them.

Zinc cream (tube available from supermarket about $3)
If you get "sack rash" apply on inside of thigh next to 'nads and it'll solve your problems for a good 4hr session, Looks a bit daggy when you have a white patch on your wetsuit groin (inside the wetty) but it's much better than walking bow legged and picking up a fungal growth in summer.

Eeeeewwww! Sometimes there is just a bit too much information on these forums!

pinetarsol soap?!?


(sorry, young'un recently had a bout of nappy rash!)

apparently good for rashs, chafing etc.

And do this every day, at least 6 times a day, for 6 weeks, and don't sleep, and you'll know what it's like to be a woman with a newborn.

HTFU !!

Chopper would say "HTFU" - Make yourself some barb wire undies - wear them for a week - and then anything else you might get afterward would feel like a POP (piece of pi$$)

I hear the Mormons wear camel hair undies when they are out sreading the word.
It's supposed to keep their mind from wandering.
You could ask them what they do to counter the after effects.

Maybe you could try pissing on your nipples? Pissing on tinea helps so I figure maybe nipple rash? If you have any trouble just give me a call and I could piss on them for you

My medicine cabinet consists of a bowl of salt, lemon juice, vinegar and a huge can of harden the F%^** up, fixes all things.

or maybe htfu

HAHAHAAHA golden.
I came to have a look at the shinanigans of the windsurfing forum.
This stuff is gold. I wish we (kiters) had such funny stuff happening, instead of slagging off at each other the whole tiem.
sorry, going.

Priceless! I can see pharmacy guilds going bankrupt, and big drug companies turning to tobacco to prop up their dwindling profits, when goldcoastmoz floods the marked with huge cans of "Harden the F%>** Up". Never before has one product been indicated for all ailments from windsurfer's nipple to aortic aneurisms. There only ever needs to be one product in a first aid kit. Babies no longer cry, person injury lawyers no longer have clients and public liability insurance is a thing of the past. There is no need for airbags in cars, or wheelchairs, or social security payments, or touchy-feely psychiatrists.

Yes, that's what this country needs, a whopping big can of "Harden the F%^**" in every medicine cabinet. Not a Kyoto protocol, or more education spending, or a more stable government. Just a f%^**ing big can of "Harden the F%^**". And which political party is offering that, I ask you.

Goldcoastmoz, I reckon you're onto something here. Drop me a line and I'll patent it for you.

Could put the cans of HTFU right beside the big cans of whoop-ass
