Seasick is one of those tricks you just GET. Eventually it will suddenly click. Just keep practicing.

I found it easiest to learn on a wide yoyo. This allows you more leeway in catching the yoyo as it comes at your face. 😛

I think I used a Monster primarily.

It’s so hard to get.

I can’t get it the right way. But I can do it straight off of a split bottom mount and not flip the yoyo back. It’s one of the tricks you just “get,” like boingy or eli hops.
