GoPro Compatability Explained

By far my favourite GoPro surfing accessory – the Max Lens Mod is a new addition, fitting the GoPro Hero 9 and GoPro Hero 10. It gives the GoPro a huge 155 degree field of vision (super wide angle if you don’t know the techy talk!) but more importantly gives you access to some epic horizon levelling – which open up some awesome creative shots. 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. You can mount a GoPro on a soft-top but this needs a special type of mount that does not come with your GoPro, as I’ll explain below.

For example, a video captured in the standard GoPro color will be less flexible in editing than footage captured in Protune “Camera Raw” or “Protune Flat”. 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. However, you should take note that GoPros mounted on a surfboard doesn’t always take the most awesome videos. Sky-high waves tend to look flat when their shots are taken from a surfboard’s point of view; making your shots a bit pointless since no one will believe you’ve surfed those waves you’re bragging about. There aren’t many downsides to having your GoPro camera facing you, the only one perhaps being that it doesn’t capture much of the wave itself, but that’s to be expected! RearThis product doesn’t use adhesives. Instead, it uses a tool that needs to be screwed right through your board, making it a sturdier and more secure GoPro mount. (So unless you want to drill a hole in your surfboard using a screwdriver, you might want to skip this product.) The best place to mount your GoPro is at the front, facing you, although a mouth-mount is also good. This should be 4-8 inches from the nose of your surfboard for the best angle of you surfing. You can spend a fortune on the premium versions but they are a lot more and don’t do that much more in terms of what you’ll need, namely capturing your waves to help you improve.

At this stage, you have learned how to attach a GoPro surfboard mount. Time to have fun – go surfing! Surfing with your GoPro Attached to your Surfboard You’ll also be able to go deeper with your camera, even if it’s already waterproof, again – less worry. 11. Keep things clean Removing the surfboard mount is an easier process as you will only need a hairdryer to apply heat. This will loosen the adhesive, making it easier to peel off the surfboard. Also, GoPro surfboard mounts are great for longboards, but not so much for shortboards. Since shortboards are, well, short, the camera will be placed too near to the rider, therefore the whole frame will only cover the rider’s face.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 As for clips shot using a mouth mount, these are awesome to have as a memento of your session, and the mouth-mount angle shows others exactly how it is to ride a wave on a surfboard. GoPro do sell a bite mount which clips into the standard GoPro surfboard mount (which is a great way to store or double up whilst surfing – but there are some cheaper 3rd party option out there which are much easier on the wallet.
