[kevinOlip]

could you please please please put up a legit way to mount a surf hero2 on a bodyboard it would be greatly appreciated

@kevinOlip

Sounds like a challenge. I have some questions for you that will help me get a better idea of what you are looking for

The way that I am thinking of doing it I think will use a tripod mount. Would that be OK?

I take it that you are looking for something more that sticking on one of the surf mounts?

Is it OK to put a hole in boogie board?

And anything else that might help me get a better idea of what you need.

@kevinOlip I should also say that I have had success mounting my GoPro on a skim board using a suction cup mount. A bit unrelated but something to think about.

Great sollution, gonna try this for my Splash :)

[Gabriel6117]

could i use the go pro surf mount ? Please reply! :)

[kylemartn101]

@Gabriel6117 My worry with the surf mount is that because of the uneven nonskid at the bow it would not stick that well. As with any mount over water make sure that you tie your camera on. If you don’t know how to do this look up my video "Must See GoPro Tips & Tricks: Adding A Securing Loop". Hope this helps

@Gabriel6117 I would think that you could use the surf mount however I cannot say that I have seen it done. The only other way that I have seen a GoPro mounted is using a flat adhesive mount just behind the bow eye. This works because there is a line up the middle of the boat the is flat and free of nonskid.

I just got a gopro hd so im going to try this out and see how it works

[kylemartn101]

I am using the HD Hero. Yes I believe that the 960 takes photos

[MitchTheSniperXz]

Nice im sailing this year in silver in my camp and im buying the go pro 960, and what one do you have, and does the 960 take pics?

[micbergsma]

very good idea... I use the c suction mount on the boat and tie with a string to the pole, not bad... it didn't fall off yet

[t045t2346]

i watched this video in hopes of seeing a laser cannon

@t045t2346 same

[alexposition]

you can use the suction mont cup if you want to change the view easely

[kylemartn101]

@alexposition Yes you could use the suction cup mount. I have used it several time to get shot from the back and sides of the boat. However for the shots facing back I do not want to have to worry about it coming off. I have found that the suction cup mount is great for shouting out of the water however it is not so good at holding on when it get hit by a wave, I have had it ripped off the side of my boat several times the other problem you can’t mount it to the deck because of the nonskid.

[OneEagerBeaver]

@kylemartn101 when the suction cup mount gets ripped off, does it damage the actual suction cup or the boat? Also would the suction cup be adequate for sailing a laser on a small lake with little to medium wind (no waves?)

[kylemartn101]

@OneEagerBeaver There would be no problem mounting with the suction cup mount. And if it comes off there is no damage done. I would add a loop to your camera and tie it on see my other video find it here youtube.com/watch?v=0D752upa8_­0
