Product Information

But the thing is, it’s difficult to focus on two things simultaneously. You may find it hard to hold on to your GoPro if you’re still having trouble balancing yourself in the water. For this reason, beginners choose to go hands-free. They use mounts instead to attach their cameras to the nose of their surfboards. A couple of issues with this mount are that you’ll get a lot of movement in your footage because of how much you move your head around while surfing.

However, GoPro do recommend the 24 hour period for a reason and it’s all about that precious bonding time. The only reason I waited the 24 hours is because if I didn’t and my GoPro fell off, I’d feel like an idiot. Mouth mount is the best way to capture the waves from a first-person perspective, and it also creates more stable footage compared to its alternative. This is the reason why you’ll spot a lot of pro surfers like Kelly Slater, Mason Ho, and Nat Young biting onto these things when they’re surfing. To avoid condensation on the inside of the waterproof housing, use anti-fog inserts. They’ll soak up any extra moisture caused by temperature changes and keep your footage looking nice and clear. 2. Start with a GoPro surfboard mount Unfortunately, the only tail mount I can find online is a link to make one yourself on Instructables. Handheld or wrist mount: Holding your GoPro in your hand or attaching it to your wrist using a wrist mount can provide dynamic footage. This mounting option allows you to easily change the camera’s angle to capture various perspectives while surfing.Chest mount: A chest mount will give you a lower angle than a head mount, capturing more of the surfboard and offering a unique perspective of the waves. However, this position may not be as stable, as your upper body moves more than your head while surfing. I don’t always surf with my GoPro, but when I do; proper GoPro surfboard mount placement is critical. Several products are available in the market if you are looking for GoPro mounts to shoot great POV shots of your surfing adventures. There are many ways to achieve this.

Because of our personal need to memorialize these kinds of stuff, GoPro became a popular piece of equipment in the surfing industry. This device can often be seen attached to a surfboard or to the different parts of the body where it can capture the best angles. This surfboard mount may be cheap, but that doesn’t mean it falls short when it comes to functionality. The HSU surf mount is as versatile as other mounts, and it can be also be used in other water sports like kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, and paddleboarding. It’s also compatible with other action cameras like AKASO Brave and Campark, Dragon Touch, and Remali CaptureCam 4K.

I have also found that my jaw muscles start to ache after using a mouth mount for a while, so think about that, too. For adhesive based surfboard mounts, it may be possible to take off the mount by applying heat from a hairdryer. For screw based mounts, you just have to loosen the screw and take it off.
