I'm sick of reading about how dumb kiting is, and how prehistoric and uncool windsurfing is supposed to be, or how if you weigh 110kg, and crash into a KA boom at 35 knots it will break (duh!)..
So, to completely change the topic, maybe get some advice, and more than likely spark some of that good old fashioned Seabreeze humor..
Sack rash.. Anyone else get it after submersion in seawater, or do I just have an abnormally large 'man bag'?
I'm talking about that nut shaped redness on the inner thigh.. and no, you can't have pictures!
If anyone knows of a cure, short of permanent removal of said sack....
check their forum under 'peli point' thread where they complain about each other
in qld country areas it's called crotch rot,
in qld coast areas it's called surfers rash,
real simple to deal with.
it's called a shower.
here are some tips.
1. fill bath
2. remove velcro boots, (with or without sheep attached)
3. take off cotton budgie smugglers
4. hop in and don't forget the soap
My beloved wife helped me out being the clever thing which she is.
White zinc cream, squeeze out about 10-15mm from tube and apply to each side of said sack, if ya can get your missus to do it all the better (mine told me to smeg of)
555 your a legend, and thank goodness no photo's, I have just had dinner
Go to chemist, ask for a tube of CANESTEN, (Clotrimazole Ant-fungal Cream) It has great healing powers, I can assure you. Specifically developed for what we call "Elephants crutch"
To put it on, shower, dry with vigor (only the skin, the skin)
Apply cream, all better in 48 hours
To prevent further agitation, try using the cotton jockey shorts Pat Cash advertises, the ones with legs in them, not the brief ones under wet suit. Your jewel sack will love you for it
canesten is the bomb dudes!
itchy sack, itchy crack!
shower, soap, rinse,towel, slap it on. aaaaaaaah!
cures problem commonly known as "boing boing"
If you catch your cock rot early, that is whilst in rash form you should use 3B cream, it stops chaffing. If you are in the tropics and it developes into full blown cock rot then you will need the canestan.
The answer is though, don't free ball in board shorts and you shouldn't have a problem to start with.
Kiting is gay, but so is pole boarding.
is crotch rot the same thing as cooties 
i had that once 
hey those pat rafter jocks really are the bees knees.
The worst thing...I've just changed to a waist harness, and I find my boardies are flapping around madly like a flag in the wind. Flapping against you-know-what. Front and centre. At the end of the day, depending on how much of this flapping around has gone on, well let's just say that Mr Happy is in no mood to party...
Should I try to develop callouses?
Scrot rot!
use nappy rash cream, or scabies cream, no-one likes going into a chemist and buying the scabies stuff though!
555 do you live in Taranaki or just sail there? I used to sail there 22 years ago, great spot! Kina rd, Weld rd, etc etc
How does windsurfing result in Sack Rash??
Are you using seat or waist harness, boardies or wetsuit?
Someone suggested that my wetsuit is too warm..
cold water = shrinkage = less to rub!
What do I wear.. usually 'cotton budgie smugglers' under a wetsuit with seat harness (cos that's what I had - I am looking for a waist harness at the moment). BUT, I get the same thing freeballing in boardies, even if I just go snorkeling or something (mmm.. crayfish!).
Lamisil cream clears it up nicely (athlete's foot / jock itch etc) but what I'd really like to find is a permanent cure. Funny thing is that it only affects the leg, and not the sack itself. It's got to be some kind of fungal thing, so surely it can be killed permanently unless its in every drop of seawater? Perhaps Canesten is gruntier..
Gestie - shower doesn't fix it.. maybe you were thinking of wool rash?
Willy - sounds like you need to wear speedos instead - less drag too, so you should go even faster!
Shark - Yeah, I live in 'the Naki', and sail here every chance I get. The break was nearly twice as big as in those photos earlier on, but I was out there sailing instead of resting on the grass watching!
You're all p*issin' in the wind with all these remedies,
STOP p*ssing in your pants and problem solved, why do you think babies get nappy rash?
Uncaring parents 
,
If babies didn't have nappies they wouldn't get the rash
like we have uncaring wives, girl friends and or kiter's boyfriends 
.
Just rub the good stuff in feel the relief.
I had the same problems going commando with boardies. Try a pair of proper surfers boardies that fit around your waist and not half-way down your @rse. I managed to find a pair of Volcom's that are still made from the "quick-dry" fabric. They are brilliant!
I only wear the wetsuit in winter or when I'm diving and I reckon speedos are the trick.. The speedo's fabric doesn't provide a warm breeding ground for bacteria and fungus like the cotton jocks do.. just make sure your mates don't see them... ever!
get the boardies with the built in undies (gusset I think its called) or of course the obvious solution...NUDE WINDSURFING ??? "It's to stop my genitals from rotting officer"
Greenies spot on the money, Canestan is the go. Wake up in the morning and alls good!!!!
Personal hygiene is your responsibility windsurfers[}:)]
