You go out have a good session come in wrap up go home, 2-3 hours later you bend over and out comes a pint of sea water out your nose. Where the hell does it come from?

you should fill it with beer before you go out so you have something to drink.

but seriously i had a very sore throat from this problem after a week of kiteing. The water was dripping down my sinuses into the back of my throat causing some inflamation. I thought i had that ****ing tonsil infection again, Instead the doctor sent me to the chemist to get a nasal spray, Rhinocourt, it did the job.

You probably have large sinuses - that's where it comes from. It may not do your sinuses any favour in the long run so it would be an idea to have a sinus levage ( no kidding) every now and again. You can do it yourself. Buy the kit from a pharmacy and ask the Chemist to show you how to use it. Could save you getting chronic sinusitis, especially if the water you're kitiing in is not clean.

When you come of the water, and are standing on the sand, bend over forwards, cover one nostril and blow. Repeat with the other nostril. That gets most of the water out for me. And it is very attractive to watch

Normally happens when I lean over to de-rig the kite.

But don't blow too hard 'cos the pressure will go straight up into the sinuses. Best to let it just run out.

I remember when I was 18 taking this hot chick out on a first date at a flash restaurant trying to impress.
Took her out for dinner after surfing all arvo,lent over the table to get the salt and heaps of water ran out of my nose all over the bowl of garlic bread.
All went down hill from there

The chick I went on a first date with after the "nose hose date" was just as bad.

I had a bit of a cold and in the middle of saying something I coughed really hard with my mouth open and a green chunk of flem flew out of my mouth and landed on her shoulder.

Off home alone again

I'm the same - gallons! More from surfing than kiting.

I've had an incident 'on the job'!
Very embarassing. Lucky it was with my wife, not my girlfriend
