All that wiping out, duck-diving and turtle-rolling frequently pushes copious amounts of seawater up your nose and into your sinuses. Unfortunately, what goes up must come down.
You’ll drop a pen in a meeting later that morning, and when you bend to pick it up off the floor – drip, drip, drip.
In lunchtime yoga class, downward poses will send dribbles from your nose onto the mat.
And better not go to bed with anyone for the first time post-surf (unless you were riding waves together). Certain sexual positions will release an unromantic dribble of water onto your partner’s face.
